Tooltips not working in HTML5 extension panel

Hi,

I am trying to show some tooltip against the elements in my HTML panel. I am using the 'title' attribute for showing the tooltips. They show up when I open the HTML in a browser but are not displayed when it is opened as an extension panel in any of the Adobe apps e.g. Photoshop, Illustrator etc. I am using the CC version. Is anything amiss? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Tooltips currently only work on Windows. Please refer to the following link to see how to support Tooltips on Mac using JavaScript: Tooltips - jQuery CSS Tooltips - Bootstrap Tooltips

Kind regards,

Lea

Lea,

I've been able to get basic default tool-tips working in a Mac HTML panel extension (in InDesign CC 2019) but all the other features mentioned in your suggested:

Tooltips - jQuery CSS Tooltips - Bootstrap Tooltips​

don't work on the Mac. I'm specifically interested in allowing longer (more verbose) tool-tips in my small palette and the suggestion about:

.tooltip-inner {max-width: 650px; !important; }

works great on Win, but causes tool tips on the Mac to stop working altogether. Seems to me Adobe may have still not completed support for certain HTML/Javascript isms on the Mac side. Any new suggestions?

Thank you!!

Steve

Now, in theory (ntroducing CEP 5.2 – now available), it should work.. but if I write title = "This is my tooltip" in .html doesnt work

I'm not able to see it either with CEP 5.2.  Not sure what I'm missing.

Hi,

I confirm button's tooltip as title attribute doesn't work on Photoshop (OSX) CC 2014 - it looks like a bug...

Thanks for the confirmation David. I was wondering whether I am doing something wrong. I checked with both CC and CC 2014 versions. Doesn't seem to work with either of them.

Regards.
