I would like to provide my users with additional information through Tool tips which work inconsistently for me. If I want a cell in a Table that either requires no input or displays a value from another cell or displays the results of a calculation cell what do I have to do? I select the Accessibility tab, add a tool tip text and then have tried all sorts of combinations of selections for the Screen Reader Precedences - tool tip, custom text, name, none. The cells range from protected to calculated- read only, text, text fields and numeric fields.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Tool tips are a function of accessibility to support screen readers and follow accessibility guidelines, for example, Section 508 in the U.S. If a field does not have to be filled I believe the general accessibility practice is too exclude the field from a screen reader. Thus, fields that are not "user entered" do not generate tool tips.
Here's what I have done in the past. The question mark icon is an image field with a button laid over top. The button has no visual properties.
When you hover over the image you get a tool tip.
When you click the button you get help using xfa.host.messageBox.
The script on the button is as follows:
// form1.page1.helpBtn::click - (JavaScript, client)
var msg = "Please complete the table by..." + "\n"
+ "and then..." + "\n"
+ "to complete." + "\n";
xfa.host.messageBox(msg,"Table Help",2);

Ya this is quite a nice idea but the drawback is: "Warning: JavaScript Window" appears in all the alert boxes. Is there a a way to hide that text? Do keep me posted. Thanks!
