Hello,
I am having an issue displaying tool-tips along with context menus over an image map in IE 8. I have a large graphic with an image map. I need to display a tool-tip like information when user hovers over certain areas of the image. Then, upon a *left* click on the area of an image, I need to display a context-like menu.
Here's in example of a "AREA" tag that I currently use to accomplish that:
<area shape="poly" coords="713, 288, 732, 311, 756, 330, 758, 362, 744, 397, 720, 417, 664, 404, 616, 414, 607, 382, 591, 345, 614, 306, 667, 278, 696, 255" href="javascript:void(window.FM_NavMapSubMenu.show ContextMenu())" title="Bla bla bla" />
All is great, except in IE8 the tool-tip doesn't disappear when the user left-clicks on the image area, and as the result the tool tip covers up the context menu.
One area I investigated was to use SmartClient's hoverHTML or prompt mechanism for tool-tips instead on HTML's native "title" attribute. However SmartClient version I am working with doesn't seem to have explicit support for hoverHTML or prompt , over certain area of an image, as defined by image maps.
I would highly appreciate any suggestion you might have.
As for smart-client version, my SmartClient Console doesn't seem to display it, neither could I find it anywhere in the code.
Many thanks,
Leo
