The screenshot above shows the type of tooltip I'm referring to, which appears in Chrome and other browsers when hovering over a marker. Yes, this is a browser-originated UI element that presents the content of the "title" attribute for any element in the HTML. My own code is not explictly setting a role:tooltip, so the Google Charts visualization code must itself be inferring this role for the third column that is being returned from the Google Spreadsheet data source. In a Map visualisation, the data format is tightly constrained to three columns (plus a fourth for choosing from predefined named marker styles) - according to the API docs: *"Data Format * * Two alternative data formats are supported:* 1. *Lat-Long pairs - The first two columns should be numbers designating the latitude and longitude, respectively. An optional third column holds a string that describes the location specified in the first two columns."* and: *"To create an additional marker set, add an ID to the icons option and set your marker images. Then, add a column to your Data Table, and set the ID of the marker set you wish to use for each row in the Data Table"* I have previously tried to assign the role:tooltip to a fourth column returned by the JSON from the data source, but this had no effect. Further clues would be most welcome. Cheers Simon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Visualization API" group.
