Tool tip is not working!!

[srinivas1506]

Hello

I am trying to get some tool tip text or bubble help text on my fields of my_form, i went to Object Pallette ==> Accessibility ==> Here i entered some text on the tool tip box and i selected tool tip option for Screen Reader Precedences drop-down, not working. Then i put come text on Custom Screen Reader text and selected the custom text option from the above said drop-down, i removed the binding (i mean, there is no finger pointing symbol on the accessibility tab), i tried by selecting the CAPTION, also selected NONE.... nothing is working!! All the time./Always am getting OBJECT NAME!! Actuually i want

CAPTION / Description / Label of the object as Tool tip

After checking these forums, i put the code as "this.assist.toolTip.value = this.rawValue; " in EXIT event, but, i want caption, not value and i can not put this JS for each and every field, bcz i have tonnns of fields, tedious, in worst case i will do that

Pls. let me kow how to get it done?

Thank you

Are the fields read-only?

Yup, your guess is correct, but i guess its happening with editable/open fields also, let me double chk pls.

1) So, as per you, what i am doing in my original post is correct to get tool tip? or do you have any other suggestins pls?

2) So, READ ONLY fieds will not hold/carry the tool tip? if still badly if i want, pls. let me know the alternative

Thank you

Yes, you are doing it correctly but as far as I know you can't get tooltips with read-only fields.

Here's one idea:
