Adding HTML Tooltips to HTML Reports

[Heidi Thomson]

Hi,

We are starting to document our models using the HTML output and have a feature enhancement for the template.

What we would like to be able to do is add tooltips to the diagrams so that when you hover over an element on a diagram, the notes associated with the element appear.  With the current #IMAGE# tag, I can't see a way of adding these tooltips without doing some complex post processing of the HTML output.

Is this possible?
Thanks,
Heidi

Hi Heidi,

Not sure if its possible by creating and editing an HTML Template i'm afraid, but i'd like to also request this as a feature ! My boss has asked for the feature so ill be looking at the template option - if i come up with anything ill let you know.

Regards,

Jon.

I've had a good look at this now - and despite my lack of html/css/javascript skills i'm pretty certain that this can't be done without a change to the actual html generation within Sparx...it looks like the #IMAGE# tag not only adds the image, but also adds a <map> section to the html with associated <area> code this is where i'd add onmouseover code to display a tooltip containing the notes of the associated model element - but i think only Sparx could do this ?

Regards,

Jon.

Hi Jon,

Yes, this was my feeling as well.  I did wonder about doing some post processing of the HTML files but decided that was probably going too far.

Thanks,
Heidi
