Title Text and HTML Text are working, but not Body Text and Heading Text.
Click on Body Text or Heading Text calls an error message box "An unsupported operation was attempted."
Any idea how to work around it?
Hi Hrankov,
Sorry I could not get back to you sooner.
The Web Builder team seem to have fixed the problem with the rich text input in extensions - have you installed the WWB 8.2 update?
Unfortunately, the instructions text box at the bottom of the extension properties window seems to have disappeared.
Most disappointing if this is intentional.
I wonder if anyone else has found this to be a problem?

Yes, right, they fixed Tool Tips yesterday, but we still have problems.
Some other extensions still do not work on the same site with Carousel -
like Rocking and Rolling menu. We wil see..
Thank you.

Strodlee;

Just a quick question. Is there any way to add just images instead of text and also does it have to be GIF? Can it be PNG? I am building a bilingual site and it is none English.

Hi Bendigo.
Yes, you can have an image in the tooltip without text. Just delete the default text in the Body text entry.
Images can be bmp, jpeg , gif (even animated gif ), and png.

With PNG images, there may be issues in Internet Explorer with certain types of images with transparency when combined with fade-in, fade-out when you have a transparent background in the tooltip - ( Tooltip Box / Background transparent ).
As long as you have a coloured background in the tooltip, then that should not be a problem.
These behavours are not confined to the Walter Zorn tooltip though.

There are lots of posts on the web from people seeking solutions to problems with Internet Explorer and PNG images with reduced opacity or fadeing.
(black jagged edges, solid ugly black where a shadow should be). Not a problem in the other major browsers. Just Internet Explorer.
No, Internet Explorer still has not got PNG support right. Not IE 7, 8, or 9. - But there are some work-arounds.
Anyway Bendigo, I'm sure you know this already. - Just had to have a bit of a rant.

Hi;
Great stuff. Thank you for a detailed reply. Glad you got it off your chest :D

I seem to have an issue as I would like to use your extension with this by RZ

viewtopic.php?f=42&t=45904

and it does not work. Can I confirm that it is just image and test objects that it works with?

Hi Bendigo.
The WZ tooltip works on almost any object that has an id .
It usually won't work on an object which already has a mouseover event assigned to it. Could it be to do with that?
If you could let me know exactly what you want the tooltip to work on I'll see if i can work something out.

Hi Strodlee
I have also asked RZ to look into this. If you send me your email address via my website, I will send you the sample. Thanks again.

Strodlee, the issue has been sorted by RZ. It was a little trick that I had not thought about and it works perfectly. I will send you a link to the site once it is ready to go live. Thanks again for your efforts.

O.K. ,Thanks Bendigo.
I was just about to send you my solution, which was to change the id entered in the wz tooltip from: cmd_bio to: cmd_bio_icon .
But I'm not sure if I understood exactly what you were trying to do anyway. So it's good you got it sorted.
