Hello,

I display database result in an ASP page. One of the field I display in the 
result is Order_details. I want to use tooltips (or titles) to show the 
corresponding remark details of that particular order when a user mouseover 
on a value of Order_details. For example, the table I show in an ASP is as 
under:

ORDER DETAILS

A511001 (This will be hyperlinked to remark field. When a user mouseover on 
it, it will show the correspondng remark which will be in the same database 
as Order_details.

A511002 
A511003

Can somebody help?

Best regards,
Rutik

Hi

Yes - I think I know what you need.

Try http://www.bosrup.com/web/overlib/ - it's a tool tip JavaScript thing.

Because it's client-side, you can change the values of the tool tips on the
server side as such:

Response.Write("<a href=""javascript:void(0);"" onmouseover=""return
overlib('" & objRS("Help") & "', CAPTION, 'CAPTION IN HERE IF REQUIRED',
FGCOLOR, '#FFFFFF', BGCOLOR, '#003399', BORDER, 1, CAPTIONFONT, 'Verdana',
TEXTFONT, 'Verdana', TEXTSIZE, 1,STICKY, WIDTH, 200, HEIGHT, 235)""
onmouseout=""return nd();"">HELP</a>" & vbCrLf)

Don't forget that any apostrophes will need to be escaped:   '  =>  \'

You could easily write a replace function to do that:

strHelp = Replace(objRS("Help"), "'", "\'")

FYI, BrainBench use that tool tip component on their site
(http://www.brainbench.com) - well, they used to anyway!

Hope I've helped (and not mis-read your question and gone off on some stupid
tangent)

You can use the TITLE attribute of the <A>nchor tag.
