Screen Tip No Show

1st I am a TOTAL newbie. I saw this program for the 1st time 2 weeks ago.
About HTML i know from nothing. I am a DB guy who got stuck with this website
nonesense by default.

I managed to make some buttons to link to different pages, they even work.
But i wanted a screen tip to pop up, like in Access. I did the screen tip bit
in the dialogue box but the text still shows the button label, not my tip
string.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
As long as you have saved everything it should work. You can only normally
view the screen tip in Explorer and not in preview. Put your cursor on the
link and it should show up, while viewing in IE. hope this helps
 
No, sorry no go. Here is the code for whatever it is worth.

<a title="Large and unusal shaped lot in upstate NY" href="RomeNY.htm">
<img border="0" id="img7" src="button31.jpg" height="33" width="100"
alt="Rome, NY"
onmouseover="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img7',/*url*/'button30.jpg')"
onmouseout="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img7',/*url*/'button31.jpg')"
onmousedown="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img7',/*url*/'button1A.jpg')"
onmouseup="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img7',/*url*/'button30.jpg')"
fp-style="fp-btn: Soft Tab 1; fp-font-size: 12; fp-font-color-hover: #00FF00;
fp-font-color-press: #FF0000" fp-title="Rome, NY"></a> </font>
 
Honestly not sure if the mouseover script would defeat the tag, but I don't
see one in the code anywhere. The screen tip is generally created with an alt
attribute. This is so visually impaired visitors can decifer your image with
a screen reader,

You could try adding this to the image tag alt="your text here" Works in IE,
but unfortunately, alt won't appear in NS and some other browsers, so I also
add title="your text here". Make sure to leave a space before alt / title
and after content.

The title tag over rides the alt (unless the image is missing) so...
Try this and see if that works 8)

<a href="RomeNY.htm">
<img border="0" id="img7" src="button31.jpg" height="33" width="100"
alt="Rome, NY" title="Large and unusal shaped lot in upstate NY"
onmouseover="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img7',/*url*/'button30.jpg')"
onmouseout="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img7',/*url*/'button31.jpg')"
onmousedown="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img7',/*url*/'button1A.jpg')"
onmouseup="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img7',/*url*/'button30.jpg')"
fp-style="fp-btn: Soft Tab 1; fp-font-size: 12; fp-font-color-hover:
#00FF00;
fp-font-color-press: #FF0000" title="Large and unusal shaped lot in upstate
NY"></a>

Applying the "title" to the image.....
