Read only fields and tool tips

[Keith]

Hi

Tool tips don't seem to display on Read Only fields.  Has anyone come across this?

Tooltip on read-only String fields sees to be working fine here. Tested in FF, Chrome and IE.

Not enough info in my Post 

The fields are 'Display' so as to allow them to look like Read-Only fields (via a style) but be bypassed after Tab and Enter.  The discussion on this was in:

Display fields don't have a tip as far as I know - but I'd need to see the HTML you are displaying to confirm that.
"Display fields" are just plain HTML, not input fields.

BTW the concept of a "tip" is very mouse related. And many devices are now out there that don't have mice. So tips (and right-clicks) are very limiting anyway.

Hi Bruce

The 'Tip' characteristic is active for a field of type 'Display' - see attachment.

I originally created the tips when the fields were 'String' and then changed the Type but Tip is available if you are creating a Display field.

yeah, the Field tab is constant for all the field types.
But not all settings are necessarily used for each field type.
