HTML ALT or DIV tabs equivalent for buttons?

[kiwiora]

Due to the nature of my new layout, i have used buttons rather than words. As some button pictures are perhaps a tad difficult to decipher, is there a feature available, much like the ALT code (DIV of old) in HTML that will allow you to have a little yellow pop-up (label) explanation on links.

Another example of this feature is your standard hover tag that comes up in most msn products.

Cheers

Search the forum for "tool tips" (I think that's what they're called).

There is no way to accomplish the rollover effect without a plugin. The common answer is to assign a field on the layout for the "tip" and on each button's script, check for a modifier key so that if the user holds down shift (for example), instead of running the regular script, it will put some text in the "tip" field.

Check "www.nightwing.com.au" Ray has an example of tool tips using function keys. He has an example that you can download.
