The hint requires a button label. The way to hide the label is to select
"Center" for the 'Image Position Relative to Label:' appearance option. When
you do that, the button text is hidden, but it stays on the form view as a
mouse hover hint.

It has label, of course. And I can see hint in Remedy User, but MidTier
doesn`t want to show me my hint.

Anybody?

Alexander,

You did not mention what version of the web client your dealing with,
so this might be exactly what you need, or some variation on the
details should be able to get the job done.



At RUG there was a few javascript examples of how to do a few cool
tricks with the Mid-tier (v6.3). One of which was an example to add
"mouse over" stuff to fields.

Here is a very short snip of an example.

var tooltips={ 1: "This is the ticket number", 2: "This is the
submitter of the ticket" };
function setToolTips () {
for (var ids in tooltips) {
if (F(ids)&&F(ids).mInputNode) { // F(id).mInputNode is specific to 6.3
F(ids).mInputNode.title=tooltips[ids];
}
}
}

If your not wanting to hard code the "mouse over strings", but use the
field's label, then I would think there should be a way to do that
too. However, no explicit example was given for that.

Basically the tooltips array sets up the strings and field ID to
attach the strings to.
Then you need to add that javascript into the "right places" in the
Mid-Tier and likely add an active link on Display (or maybe Window
Open?) that would call the function setToolTips() with a client side
RunProcess action like
javascript: setToolTips();

HTH.

Hello,

Thank you for your answer.
I have MinTier 6.3 patch 13.

So this function was added into MidTier, and I called Run Process
"javascript: setTollTips ();" when open(and display) my window, which
contains button.

No tip (and no js errors)...

Does they says anything else at RUG about this problem?

Alexander,

Hum...

Ok.. My guess is that it is related to the ".mInputNode" part of the
if clause then.

Maybe you should simply the code a bit and see if the following would
do what your after?

// this will just test to make sure the field exists. (I think.)
if (F(ids)) {

That won't test the field exists - it will always return something (AFAIR)

Ok, I`ll try it later, but there is another problem.
The message has wrong charset: english hints looks great, but Russian
hint dispays incorrect.

Maybe I should change the charset somewhere?

Alex,

What character set has the page been provided with? You'll need to look at
the meta tags at the top...
