Tooltip question

[ODAN]

I have an application that was developed in ASP.NET/C#. On one of the pages,
we are using tooltip to display the description of the textboxes. Wehn you
move your mouse over a textbox the tooltip appears with a full description
of the textbox on which you have your mouse. By default the tooltip display
for 10 seconds and then disappear (according to Microsoft). Is there a way
to make the tooltip display indefinetly. I have I searched the MSDN it says
the duration property can be set to -1 to make the tooltip display
indefinetly but it doesn't tell me how to do that with regards to the
application. Please help!

Thanks!

You should connect to the ToolTip behavior library tooltip.htc

See MSDN example
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d.../author/behaviors/library/tooltip/tooltip.asp

It contains a link for downloading the library.

Note however that HTC are for IE-only, and might cause other problems
(we had tons of memory leaks due to a certain HTC component, because
HTCs link the CSS engine and the JavaScript engine, thus increasing the
risk for circular references).

I think that to program a tooltip control in ASP.NET should be fairly
easy, using floating DIVs, so I would rather consider making such a
control rather than using the IE-only HTC solution.
