Hey, Y'all:
Environment:
Remedy ARS 6.3 P18 (Windows 2003, SQL Server 2000)
Mid-Tier 7.0.0 Patch 1 (IIS/Servlet Exec)
Mid-Tier 7.0.1 (IIS/Tomcat)
I was able to use a simple JavaScript command in a run process AL to
produce hover text over a character field. There is no need for a
JavaScript file. I like to avoid hard coded text wherever I can.
This fires on Window Loaded as a run process and works great on
character fields
//javascript:document.getElementById('arid536870998').title = 'My
text'; (without the slashes)
However, I would like to be able do the same thing over a Text Trim
field.
We have a psuedo navigation bar with subtitles. We would like to add
tooltips to these.
So far, nothing I've tried, including a hard-coded js file works on
Text Trim, nor buttons for that matter.
Has anyone ever been able to produce hover (aka alternative or
mouse-over) text on trim fields?
On a side note:
The good news is that in ARS 7.0.1 and Mid-Tier 7.0.1, buttons and
Flashboards now have an alternative text attribute accessible
through the Admin Tool.
Thanks in advance,
Michelle

Have you tried doing the same thing but using a Display-only character field
(instead of a text field)??? There is a checkbox on there to Display as
Text if you need it ...
Thanks,
Sean

Re: Hover text on Trim fields - Is it Possible? Any Takers?
Hi, Sean:
Thank you for responding.
Yep, I've tested that, too. It appears to work for fields that actually
have the white space for entering text, but not for fields that
display as text. It seems to behave just like the text trim fields so
it doesn't work. It only works when I don't display as text.
Also, in our case the text has to be a certain color, etc. I know I
have a couple of workarounds for that, too.
One of the workarounds I have for text color is to make the field label
dynamic, while making the data length 0.
I've only been able to hover over a field label using a call to a js
file.
My preference is to NOT use a file that has to be carried from server to
server. Or, where the actual text and field IDs have to be hard coded.
I would prefer to use a single run process statement that I can make a
little more dynamic.
So we're back to square one.
The text has to be a certain color and it has to allow hover text.
I may get desperate and use the hard-coded js file. However, it still
doesn't solve the problem on how to get the hover to work on trim
fields.
Thank you again for taking the time.
Michelle

Re: Hover text on Trim fields - Is it Possible? Any Takers?
Unfortunately there is nothing for mouse-over that I am aware of. The
closest thing is Lose Focus or Gain Focus. Workflow can fire when a
field has focus (i.e. the user clicks on the character field, box, button,
etc.). Or when the field has lost focus ...
Also ... If have added help text to a field there is an arrow with a
question mark on the user tool. If you click that and click on the field
all of the help text you enter on the field will show up in the user tool.
Good luck.
Thanks,
Sean

Re: Hover text on Trim fields - Is it Possible? Any Takers?
Hi Michelle,
I've done something similar using a borderless View field. I then use an
active link to set the field to contain something similar to the following:
span title=Brie is tasty cheeseTEST/span
This works under both mid-tier and the WUT.
Hope this helps.
