Show and Hide Tool Tip v1.0 
for Macromedia's Dreamweaver
============================

About
=====
These actions let you make popup sections of HTML code appear in
response to events in an HTML page.  Most people will have seen
something similar as tool-tips under MS Windows.

I've written the code to make it function as near as identically
on both IE and NN.  Also, I spent a lot of time getting the
Dreamweaver UI as user-friendly as possible.  

Installation
============
Place the action files (Show Tool Tip.htm & Hide Tool Tip.htm)
in the Configuration/Behaviors/Actions folder of your
Dreamweaver installation directory.

Note, if you did not download the action files as part of
the ZIP archive you will have to rename them to their original
names ("Show Tool Tip.htm" & "Hide Tool Tip.htm") from
showtooltip.htm & hidetooltip.htm.

Use
===
The action dialog will display a list of the available layers
to use as the layer which will show the tool-tip.  You've basically
got to choose which layer to use for the tool-tip (must be inserted
by Dreamweaver before assigning the action) and to type in what
text you want to appear in the "tool tip" (although if you don't
type anything in you'll just get an empty tip!).  The rest is
optional.

You can put whatever HTML you want in the tool tip, carriage returns
are converted to <br> tags so if you want text to wrap normally just
type in and let the line scroll to the right of the text box. (You
should see what I mean when you use it).
 
I've designed the action with the Dreamweaver 1.0 Behavior
Development Kit specs so it works in both 1.0 and 1.2a (although
scroll bars appear in the action dialog in 1.0) but I'd recommend
using 1.2a so that the inserted action code is surrounded by the HTML
comment tags.

There are two actions, "Show Tool Tip.htm" (for onmouseover) and
"Hide Tool Tip.htm" (for onmouseout) to get the showing/hiding on
mouseover and out.

More
====
I've included a demo page just to show some of the different types of
tooltip, changing text size, color, font, bold, bgcolor, bordercolor,
border thickness, etc.  Hope you find it useful. It's available at
http://www.arrakis.es/~andrewc/downloads/archives/tooltipdemo.htm

As ever, comments, suggestions, etc should be sent to me at the
address below.
