Menu G5 Examples: Showing tool tips for menu items

 

The tool tip is a convenient way to show more information about an object when it's mouseovered. Just mouseover this paragraph and you will see the tool tip exmaple.

Though there are many scripts out there for you to implement the tool tip, it's actually as easy as to add the "title" proprety to a html element, which is a HTML 4 standard:

<p title="tool tip example">The tool tip is a convenient way ...<p>

Menu G5 now takes advantage of this browser built-in feature and enables it for the menus. If you have put some item descriptions in the menu content, and have a line of "var showToolTip=1;" in the path script, they will be shown as tool tips when the menu items are mouseovered (try "Contract" and "Tool Scripts -> Menu Scripts -> Menu G5").
