delay hide on mouseout?

**nevdev** · 12-01-2006, 01:04 AM

1) Script Title: Cool DHTML Tooltip

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...tmltooltip.htm

3) Describe problem: Just wondering if the "delay hide" feature on mouseout can be incorporated into this tooltip (as I see it is with another tooltip variant)?

Sure. Below is a modified version of the script that supports a delay before the tooltip disappears:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">

#dhtmltooltip{
position: absolute;
width: 150px;
border: 2px solid black;
padding: 2px;
background-color: lightyellow;
visibility: hidden;
z-index: 100;
/*Remove below line to remove shadow. Below line should always appear last within this CSS*/
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(color=gray,direction=135);
}

</style>
</head>

<body>
<div id="dhtmltooltip"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">

You should change 200 to the desired delay (in miliseconds).
