FOCUS friends:

Has anybody had any experience with a hover or mouse-over function in a text document? We see that this option is valuable in a graph. Specifically, we want to return a translation when hovering over a two digit code.

Thanks in advance,
Sandy Kadish

For $20 I can sell you an example of how to that in an HTML report, but it won't help with a graph.

For graphs, you may be able to play with the Java settings. You will most likely need the Perspective for Java Programmer�s Manual, I'm not sure if it's on the IBI site.

-*-- Hover / Mouseover example using html title --------------------------------
-*-- (Note that this has been tested on IE 5 and 6 only)

-SET &TITLE_MSG =
- 'Country';

DEFINE FILE CAR
CONTINENT/A10 =
IF COUNTRY IN ('FRANCE', 'W GERMANY', 'ITALY', 'ENGLAND') THEN 'Europe' ELSE
IF COUNTRY IN ('JAPAN') THEN 'Asia' ELSE '???';
MOUSEOVER/A255 =
' CONTINENT | '''>' | COUNTRY | '';
END

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
MOUSEOVER AS '&TITLE_MSG'
MODEL AS 'Model'
BY COUNTRY NOPRINT
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
END

We do this the same way, just directly:

SUM DOLLARS AS
'< span title="Big bucks &TODAY">dollars< /span>'

You can drop &vars right in to the title, if you like. We learned this from Mikel, on this board. Thanks Mikel.
