Hi All,
there is a possibility to insert a tooltip on onmouseover on a table cell with a datasetrow data?
Thanks

I don't know how well it works for an entire cell, but you can make the data element or whatever inside of it have an onhover tooltip, using the onCreate script and the items helpText :

this.helpText = this.getRowData().getColumnValue("ly_revenue");

getColumnValue is the column name of the data element, if you are referencing a different item then itself (say a hidden one). If you are refrencing it's own value you could more simply say :

this.helpText = this.getValue();

It works fine in a regular table, not so well in a crosstab. I've been trying to figure out how to get it working in a crosstab (showing a different data value) for a while.

Hi,
i test you script and works, but i have a problem; i would see a tooltip with this html rich text:

<P align=left>Example Example <STRONG>Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example</STRONG> Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example.<BR><EM><U>Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example</U></EM> Example<FONT size=3> Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example</FONT> Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example.<BR><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99cc00">Example Example Example Example Example</FONT> Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example <FONT color=#ff0000>Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example</FONT> Example Example Example; Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example!<BR>Example Example <FONT color=#ff0000>Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example.<BR></FONT>Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example<FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #00ffff"> Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example</FONT> Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example Example </P>

If i put this in a "dynamic text" i see the correct formatted text, but in a tooltip i see the simple text with all tag.
There is a possibility to see also in tooltip the formatter text?
Thanks
