dbminter Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I was wondering/thinking of a possible addition. You know those windows that appear when the mouse floats over whatever it is the programmer wants them to? How there are those for the free space on disk, etc. I was thinking about one that appears when the mouse hovers over the drop down list that contains the target the drives. And then a dialog of attributes about the drive. Like the currently installed firmware version. And, well, I can't think of anything else. Mostly, I was just thinking about the firmware version as something to appear in a hover window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 The firmware version is displayed in the info box on the right db. and I believe what you're referring to is a 'tooltip' or 'hint' window?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 Hmmm. I somehow missed that the firmware was displayed there... wow. I'd toss these gabapentin if I didn't depend on them, in terms of a psychological, physical, and emotional dependency... oh, pill bottle! I STILL love thee, despite thy new smell of rocket fuel! Tooltip! That's the word! Yes, believe it or not, I really DO have a computer science degree. Well, technically, it says Mathematical Sciences on it... something else I worked hard for and didn't get. Oh, well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lfcrule1972 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Tool tip ? Are we talking about the small text box that appears over a pic on some websites (incl. mine) that contains relevent info... ? I think it's ALT Image or similar ?

LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Yes mate, they're known as tooltips or hints. ALT is just the HTML tag name. It's an 'alternative' to the picture version for people that don't have pictures displayed - or are blind, use a screen reader and therefore need a text representation of what it shows.

lfcrule1972 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Really I didn't know about screen readers - sooooooooo in theory you could have the screen reader say rude sentences which wouldn't be visible to most of the visitors ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbminter Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 I really DO have a computer science degree I never claimed I was taught anything I needed to make it in real world. Either in computer science or life itself. Actually, I believe I have lamented the first fact many times before. And, well, probably the second, too. #39;( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
