Re: How do I do this in HTML

I'm currentloy working in text editor based HTML. Got a style sheet goin'.

My copy of Dreamweaver 3 stopped working at 30 days. No plans to buy an upgrade. Gonna miss 3. Attention and $$ is being drawn by CNC, right now. A program called Mach3.

Get a lot of help from w3schools.com, but I don't know the right question to ask their site.

You forgot to ask your question.

Since you don't use Dreamweaver, check out StackOverflow -- a tech forum for code developers by developers.

When I put my cursor ion a tab that represents my HTML program, I get the message "local or shared file" in a bubble. What is the code to take control of this and put my owbn message in there?

What program are you working with? This post would be better in a product-related community, and it can be moved if you let us know.

Note that the Community Help forum is for help in how to use the Adobe Communities. Product questions should be posted in the associated product community.

I have no idea what this means. You have not provided any context. Regardless, I have moved & merged this post in Community Help forum with your other one in Dreamweaver. Maybe if you post a screenshot and tell us exactly which OS and software you are using, we can assist you.

OK.

You have a browser open. IE, Chrome, Firefox, they all behave closely. You have set in your settings that you want to have one browser window open, and, if you want additional web sites open, each gets its own tab on the top of the browser window. I hope you understand what I am talking about so far. Currently, my tabs read, "Ameriprise", "Machsupport Forum", "Ebay Shopping Cart", "Customized Menu", "Re:How do I do this in HTML-Adobe Support Community". If I close a web site's window, that tab goes away. When I put my cursor on a tab, a small window, like a speech bubble in a cartoon, appears. It is that bubble, or mini window, or message block, or firble or whatever the proper term is, that I want to control. Grrrr. Why is this so HARD? Why can no one get this?

The content that displays in a browser tab comes directly from your HTML document's <title>.

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>My Awesome Website: Unique Page Title</title>

Great. Thanx. That much I know. Now, for the NEXT level. How do you control the baloon, or window, or text bubble, or whatver its name ibs that appears when your cursor touches the tab? (I think if I knew its proper name, I could find the code.)

Browser tooltips on open tabs are styled by the browser and vary by the maker (Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Edge). Web developers have no control over the browser UI and that's how it should be.

EGAD! I think you've got it! Now, to see if I can control tool tips in tabs. Thank you! Tooltip helps me ask the right questions.
