set title but do not show onMouseOver

crmpicco · November 1st, 2005, 08:21 AM

Code:

<input type="radio" name="<%=id%>" value="<%=id%><%=j+1%>" title="<%=j%>" onMouseOver="style.cursor='hand'" >

is there a way to have the title set on this object, but not show it on mouseover?

the title is used for js processing.

Hi Picco,

You could store the title in a temporary variable while the mouse is over the radio button...

Code:

<input id="myRadio" type="radio" title="my title text" onmouseover="window.temp = this.title; this.title = '';" onmouseout="this.title = window.temp;">

HTH,

Chris

i dont think that would work, i am looking for something to attach onto the radio button. would the accesskey work? picco

Works fine for me.

Yep, you could use accesskey if you wanted, but it's not what a user would expect, so IMHO would not be the best way to do things (ditto for using title for non-standard behaviour).

Cheers,

Chris

cool, cheers.

i was looking for

functionname(this.id, this.name, this.value, this.accesskey)

is that poss?

Yes, it'll work, but you'll need to use this.accessKey rather than this.accesskey

HTH,
