In FrontPage 2000, you will need to manually insert the:

Alt=”tool tip text value here” attribute in the

tag in HTML view. The

tag for each of the hot spots in HTML should look something like:

To make it available for Firefox users you may want to add:

Good luck

Hmm, thanks for the reply… I must not have conveyed my intents clearly since after following your advice I was prompted to add a URL to the hotspot

What do I need to do in order to get “tool tips” to appear over different parts of a picture? Do I make the requested URL refer to the same page?

Thanks for being patient with me and, say, if you know of a site or a page that does what I’m trying to do, perhaps I could peek at the code (?)

I’ll have a look around but could you refine to:

This could trick the browser to think there is a link.

In the meantime I’ll hunt around for you.

At first I couldn’t see why I needed a URL, but now I see new possibilities!

The ‘alt’ stuff will do the trick, so thanks for hanging in there with me!

No problems

I began to doubt myself, so ran off to check……yep this should work

Try it with the additional title=”whatever” and all us Firefoxers will be very happy so that we can see what you intend.

Thanks again and, yes, I’ll add the ‘title’ part.

Say, I’ve tried the “percent-zero-A” to get an empty line/line break in the tool tip, but all I see is the % 0 A all together.

What did I miss?

I don’t think there is a way, unless you try this:

These are hard carriage returns. I am running out of time before my New Year party but it “may” help. It will show in the alternative text if the image is shown but I am not sure if the tooltip will show it.

Have a look at this post 537,025 and associated links that I asked recently which talks about a similar problem
