Trying to be creative with tooltips
Poster: Shap5202

We have a 'please wait' type of icon we display when the system is processing a request. Since tooltips can handle HTML... i wanted it to be that when you submit a request, basically a tooltip follows the mouse around (followtip=1) with the wait icon.
Already have a javascript method that gets called any time the url changes. So i can detect that. Basically it's like i want to show the tooltip on body mouseover. But that doesnt work quite right
If i move the mouse all the off the browser then back on, it seems to pick up the tooltip. But at this point I'm just trying random things. any thoughts?
Code:
script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
function bodyMove(){
if(enterPressed == true){
showtip('<img src='wait.gif>', 1);
}
}
</script>
<body onmouseover="bodyMove()">
function bodyMove(){
if(enterPressed == true){
showtip('<img src='wait.gif>', 1);
}
}
</script>
<body onmouseover="bodyMove()">
The enterPressed variable being a global js var set when a request is submitted.
