Hi folks,
Trying to replicate HTML <a> links within a LiveCode field. The docs
describe 'set the textStyle to link' to create the link <a/> tag
itself and 'set the linktext to <uri>' provides the 'href' parameter.
But is there an equivalent of the HTML link title parameter at the
field/text level? There doesn't seem to be a linkTitle property -
and Tooltip is an object-level property.
Indeed, are mouse-hover tooltips within a field supported as a
native feature?
This topic comes up on the list once in a while.
Don't confuse HTML and the htmlText as being equivalent.
The htmlText is a subset of tags that mainly relate to formatting and
linking. These are not robust or complete. You might search the
archives for threads that dealt with these limitations.
I can't find and don't recall ever seeing and hover link or tooltip
inside a field in either Hypercard, Supercard, Metacard, Rev, or
Livecode. If you want text displays that are compliant, the
RevBrowser is the tool to use.
By the way, i don't recall ever seeing
<a title="some hover text">
so it is nice to pick up a new trick :-)
