This posting is an update to the now archived help article given by
David in Jan 2006.
It points us in the right direction. He reminds us that mouseover tool
tips although supported by Internet Explorer are not natively
supported in Publisher web publications.
My requirement was to mouse over a picture that showed tool tips in a
window.
Frontpage explains it nicely that all you do is rightclick on the
picture select properties and key into the Alt tag text. Well that is
nice but it dosent work in Publisher because you dont have a
properties tag to click on. Not beaten by the obvious I clicked on the
Format Picture link and volioa choose the web tag and you can key in
the text. Got this beat!
Only one problem that when you publish, there is the alt information
BUT ITS STILL WONT DISPLAY ON MOUSE OVER.
So to get to the meat, thought I would publish my code that displays
mouse over picture tool tips.
Select HTML fragment.Then code:
<a title="The best bathrom water saving SHOWER HEADS in the business.
Click here."
href="http://www.everlastingcomputing.com/index_files/
ShowerHeads.htm">
<img src="http://www.everlastingcomputing.com/menupics/shower.gif"
border="0" ></a>
If picture displays too large just add height=123 width=123 after the
border statement.
I also noticed that if you add an alt= tag after the href then mouse
over tool tips will display that instead of the title.
Kind Regards
