Hint Box on Mouse Over Field Labels

[ganaxi]

Hi,

I am trying to add a hint that activates when someone mouses over a field label, something that is relatively common in html. However, it seems from talking to support that Caspio does not support that. Has anyone else dealt with that? and/or figured out a way to accomplish that? I want to still retain the sorting ability over the fields, so having an html block is not a reasonable option for me.

Thank you for your responses.

Hi,

As I understand, you want to add hints to the result's page column headers.

Insert following code into the footer of the results page.

<script type='text/javascript'>
var v_tables = document.getElementsByTagName('table');
if (v_tables[2]){
var v_masa = v_tables[2].getElementsByTagName('a');
for(v_i=0;v_i<v_masa.length;v_i++){
v_masa[v_i].onmouseover = function(){ 
this.title= 'INSERT_YOUR_HINT_TEXT_HERE';
}; 
}
}
</script>

This example for result page with enabled "Search Again" or "Download" or "Advanced sorting" features.

If you don't have any of this features in the datapage, then replace v_tables[2] with v_tables[1] in the code.

And replace INSERT_YOUR_HINT_TEXT_HERE with you hint text.

Let me know if this helps.

Hi ShWolf:

That did not work for me.

I think my earlier description may have been misleading. What I am looking for is to add 'Tooltips' to the labels of the Caspio Results Table (i.e., the Titles to the Columns), that activate on a mouseover, e.g., while also retaining the sorting ability. Something like what's talked about here for implementation in a basic HTML page,

But is not so easy with Caspio, I believe, as it is script-driven.

Thanks for you response, and please help if you can.

Hello ganaxi,

I'm happy to tell you that you can now add rollover hints in Caspio without custom JS coding. You may refer to the this link.
