Hi,

Works fine for me, generated html looks okay, and it's trying to fire the ajax_showTooltip and ajax_hideTooltip functions (as in I get an error because it can't find the functions)

hi mike,
this is just a simple part of the program. the statement has been given in a cgi script and it shud work but it isnt :(.Shall i send the whole script to u?

Hi,

I printed that line out using a little perl script:
-----------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use CGI ':standard';

print header;

print qq{<a href=\"\" onmouseover=\"ajax_showTooltip('demo-pages/js-calendar.html',this);return false\" onmouseout=\"ajax_hideTooltip()\">Info</a>};
-----------------

Which outputs this to the browser:
<a href="" onmouseover="ajax_showTooltip('demo-pages/js-calendar.html',this);return false" onmouseout="ajax_hideTooltip()">Info</a>

This code is correct and works fine, so as long as you see that when you view source from your browser, there is nothing wrong with that particular code.

If the onmouseover is not working, it's most likely a javascript error which you should see in your browser, use Firefox to see javascript errors better.

You don't need to escape double-quotes in a qq string, which is basically the whole point of using qq:

print qq{<a href="#" onmouseover="ajax_showTooltip('demo-pages/js-calendar.html',this);return false" onmouseout="ajax_hideTooltip()">Info</a>};

Try using a full url here:

http://www.example.com/demo-pages/js-calendar.html

or a relative URL:

../demo-pages/js-calendar.html
