Show complete value of textfield

Report · Jul 24, 2006

I have a table that contains a number of textfields. Each textfield is
populated by data from the DB. Because I am limited by table space, a couple
of the textfields are not long enough for the user to be able to view all
the text contained in them without highlighting them and scrolling to the
end. This is not really what I want.

Can anyone offer any suggestions for a way that the full text could be
viewed in say a DIV when the user hovers over the textfield? Any suggestions
would be appreciated.

Sorted, I got some javascript 'Tooltip' code and it works perfectly.
