Hi Gurus,

We have a requirement, where we need to display the values of value prompt as a tool tip, when we do a mouse hover on the values of value prompt list box. We are using Cognos 10.2.2 and model is relational.

When I googled, I found the below script, but it always displays a static tool tip "My value prompt tool tip message.", but I wanted to display value of list box value prompt as a tool tip when I do mouse hover instead of static text.

<div id="VP_myPrompt">

</div>

<script type="text/javascript">

   var oContainer = document.getElementById("VP_myPrompt");
   var oPrompt= oContainer.getElementsByTagName("select");
   oPrompt[0].title = "My value prompt tool tip message.";

</script>

Can some one, please let me know if you guys have any suggestions/inputs.

Thanks & Regards,
XYZ

Thanks All,

I got the solution below is the java script code I have used to get the tool tip pop of values on mouse over on value prompt.

Follow the below steps:

1) Use a div tag to give a name to value prompt as below and place to the left of the value prompt.

<div id="my_list">

2) Close the div tag as shown below, place the this tag on the right of the value prompt.

</div>

3) Place the third HTML item after the closed div tag and paste the below script.


<script>

{
   var get_myList = document.getElementById("my_list");

   if (get_myList != null)
   {
      var target_list = get_myList.getElementsByTagName("SELECT")[0];

      if (target_list != null)
      {
         var arr_items = target_list.getElementsByTagName("OPTION");
         
         for ( var i = 0; i < arr_items.length; i ++ )
         {
            arr_items.title = arr_items.value;
            
            
         }
      }
   }



};
</script>


It works fine with Congos 10.2.2.

Hi Gurus,

I have a question here, the below java script work fine, but the java script displays the use value of a value prompt. But my requirement is to display display value of a value prompt.

Can you guys please let me know, how to get the display value as the tool tip value on mouse hover instead of use value!


Thanks & Regards,

Change: arr_items.title = arr_items.value;
To: arr_items.title = arr_items.text;

Thank you very much bdbits.

Suggestion has worked. This is what I wanted.

small correction in my code, we need to arr_items.title = arr_items.text; instead of arr_items.title = arr_items.text;.


Your help is much appreciated.



Thanks & Regards,
