mouseover problem with firefox - 10/29/2005 9:31:37
When I view my mouseover in firefox they are trucated. IE is fine.. this is using <acronym> or <span> -
If I use soemthing like
<a href onMouseover="showtip(this,event,'My text tip to display.')" onMouseout="hidetip()"><font size="2">MyLink</font></a>
then nothing in firefox, but fine in IE.... any suggestion..
Also these mouseovers seem to diappear in a few seconds, how do I get something that stays around for a while so they can read the text...
thanx,
-HQ

The easiest way afaik would be to use 'title' (works in FF and IE), e.g.
<a href="mylink.hmtl" title="This is my link">My Link</a>
The text stays there as long as the mouse is hovered over it.

Womble,
COuld you explain the purpose of "mylink.hmtl"? but as is, just pasting it into my site, firefox will still truncate the text and will close down mouse over after about 5 seconds... Do you have a webpage that uses this command in the way you describe,
Thanx,

You can control more elements by using CSS for the popups.
e.g. http://psacake.com/web/jl.asp
You can change font styles, colours, borders etc plus the tooltip will remain as long as the mouse hovers over the spanned text.

That was just an example. I was assuming that your hyperlink was linking to another page.
I've used both the title and alt attribute on images on this site. There are differences though in how IE and FF show tooltips (hence why when I remember I use both alt and title).
This site has info on the differences between IE and FF, and explains how IE and FF render the alt and title attributes differently -

As Kitka says though, you can control a lot more using css.

Kitka,
Thanx for the post... Since my CSS expereince is pretty much none existent I could not figure out how to get your link / routine to work
http://psacake.com/web/jl.asp
Obviously pasting it straight in does not work... What do I need to do / learn to get this to function? ANy websites or help would be much appreciated.. thanx,
