Skin File ToolTips

Unread post by matt harris »

HI

We are using the HMSkin_Blue.hmskin skin file which has Orange & Green navigation buttons in the top right hand corner.

Is there away of adding ToolTips to these buttons?


Thanks
Matt

Hi Matt,

To do this you need to edit the topic page template. Make a copy of the skin in your project folder then open it with Help & Manual and in the Project Explorer on the left navigate down to Configuration > HTML Page Tempolates > Default in the skin. Locate the following block of code and make the additions shown in red (change the text as you like, of course):

<IF_PREVIOUS_PAGE><a href="<%HREF_PREVIOUS_PAGE%>"
onmouseover="document.images.prev.src='btn_prev_h.gif'"
onmouseout="document.images.prev.src='btn_prev_n.gif'"
><img name=prev src="btn_prev_n.gif" border=0 alt="Previous page" title="Previous page"
></a></IF_PREVIOUS_PAGE><IFNOT_PREVIOUS_PAGE><img src="btn_prev_d.gif" border="0"
></IFNOT_PREVIOUS_PAGE><a href="<%HREF_PARENT_CHAPTER%>"
onmouseover="document.images.main.src='btn_home_h.gif'"
onmouseout="document.images.main.src='btn_home_n.gif'"><img name=main src="btn_home_n.gif" border=0 alt="Return to chapter overview" title="Return to chapter overview"
></a><IF_NEXT_PAGE><a href="<%HREF_NEXT_PAGE%>"
onmouseover="document.images.next.src='btn_next_h.gif'"
onmouseout="document.images.next.src='btn_next_n.gif'"><img name=next src="btn_next_n.gif" border=0 alt="Next page" title="Next page"
></a></IF_NEXT_PAGE><IFNOT_NEXT_PAGE><img src="btn_next_d.gif" border="0"></IFNOT_NEXT_PAGE
