The DOMTT tooltip library

[Colin Walls]

I have been using this for a while and it is very impressive.

I have a problem with using it on IE 5.5 where I am trying to add a tooltip
to an image. When I mouse over the image I get an "Object Error", no more
information. Has anyone seen this, and if so did they manage to get around
it and how?

Not even a line number?

Has anyone seen this,

Hundreds (likely thousands) of times.

and if so did they
manage to get around it and how?

Yes, by debugging.

Using what?

"The DOMTT tooltip library" as (sadly?) written only in the Subject.
Google shows <http://www.mojavelinux.com/cooker/demos/domTT/> almost
immediately (using Firefox' Location Bar ), but providing it should
have been the job of the OP, indeed.

Use the MS Script Editor included free with MS Office 2002 and above,
for debugging Internet Explorer (IE).

This subject is of great interest to many JS developers, as there is no
obvious, low cost way to do sophisticated debugging in
IE6 other than to use the debugger described below, which is horribly
documented otherwise. I feel debugging is an important aspect of
projecting the useability of the language and needs to be made more
clear for new users.

This is a page that describes how to install and use the MS Script
Editor to debug Javascript in Internet Explorer ( IE ). It has a
powerful debugger built into it that works really well for developers
supporting IE5+. This debugger/editor included with most versions of
Microsoft Office.

..NET programmers may have better tools (VStudio) but this comes in
really handy for anyone developing with JSP and PHP and other dynamic
scripting languages which embed javascript, as well as any HTML page
using Javascript in Internet Explorer that needs a (almost) free
debugging environment.
