Does anyone know how to display and customize a tooltip on a drill down link? Basically I want to produce the following HTML:
<a href='url' title='Link Tooltip'>Link Text</a>


Thanks in advance!
Josh

Add 

 ALT='Link ToolTip',


to your drilldown syntax.

Unfortunately I don't know of a way to do that via the GUI - I think you have to add it by hand. If there is a way, someone please let us know.

ChannyS,

I'm not a big fan of GUI anyway. The ALT worked like a charm. Any idea how to add a field to the ALT?

What do you mean by adding a field? What is it you are trying to accomplish?

Let's take this procedure for example:

 
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR MODEL SEATS
BY COUNTRY
END


The first record is:
ENGLAND JAGUAR V12XKE AUTO 2

If I put a drill down on MODEL (JAGUAR in the this case) I would like to display JAGUAR in the tooltip.

Hopefully that explains it.

That's a good question. I don't know of any syntax to reference a field in the ALT attribute. You could use an amper variable but I don't know how you would set the value of the amper to be the value of the field at that line. I'm sure some of the gurus on this board could probably provide some good techniques.

Here is the syntax for the WF stylesheet
 TYPE=GRANDTOTAL,
TARGET='_self',
JAVASCRIPT=void(0),
ALT='ALL SKUs',
FOCEXEC=app/asdasdwewefw.fex(.....),$

I wish that worked here. I get nothing, no difference with or without that (previous post by Don).
By "Here", I mean in the HEADING: 
-* This is the heading line:
"<0>^<0> Report Title..."    

-* This is the drilldown:
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=1, OBJECT=TEXT, ITEM=1, size=10, STYLE=BOLD, COLOR=BLACK, TARGET='_blank', ALT='I want this text to display.',
    FOCEXEC=IBFS:/WFC/Repository/[domain]/[folder]/[FexName].fex
    (FIELDname='this' YEAR=&YEAR MONTH=&MONTH_NO),$

It seems to work for drilldowns on TYPE=DATA, but not TYPE=HEADING.

I tried other options to, Ref: Bootstrap Tooltip Plugin
1) "data-toggle='tooltip' title='Hooray!'"
2) "ALT='Yea!'"
  * These don't even show up Frowner !

I opened a case on this as it seems not to work in IE.
