I've updated a site with the latest tooltips, but now when the page is "refreshed" in IE 8 or Chrome (probably all browsers) a message flashes up "Empty Tooltip"please see tinyurl.com/6g6aujq
its usually when the page is refreshed, but sometimes the first time it loads also.
I found another thread with the same problem and changed all the tooltip types from auto to image but still the message pops up.
Help! - this was and has been working for ages...

Hello Peter,
Your code seems a bit distorted.
the scripts for the tool tip are before the head tag, you have 2 empty script tags in the head tag...
See to make your code similar to following :

thanks for the advice - I've changed to be like your example and it still produces the4 "empty tooltip" on page refresh, BTW the only time I add javascript is via your tools onto an existing bought templates which has some javascript. I notice sometimes when I run your extenstions they add in the code into the design view instead if the code view, which produces weird code... not sure if that has anything to do with this problem
but anyway the page www.tail-crate.com/index.php still produces the emptytooltip with the re-aranged code and removed empty javascript tags
I thought all I need to do was press a few buttons on the extension.
have I missed something? it was working in the previous version of tooltips..

ok - when the page is newly displayed the error "empty tooltip" does not appear. it only appears when the page is refreshed, indicating some variable is not being reset or it may be using existing values whne running? is this possible? some of your javscript is not initialising correctly when the page is <ctrl><f5> ?

I gave up with this company - the add-ons only really work in their environments - if you have Dreamweaver with other add ons or you go back and modify an existing site, the adds ons play up. the support is always = "its something you have done" attitude - BTW - the Online Page don't buy it. its never worked and support just says - its works here, when they look at your code - its "your code looks wrong please redo it" yet the code is only ever created by the add ons so how can I do that?!

Hello David,
Can you please provide a link to your page?
Hello Peter,
There is no way the extensions to work only on "our environment" as "our environment" is as any other "environment".
About the:
- the support is there to check your website/code and as long as there is a problem on your side you can't expect the support to tell you "There is no problem."
Please give us and our developers some credit for basic intelligence - you understand that at the time of the release the product has passed the tests.
About the Online Page Editor - i cannot agree with:
. If you are having problems and one of the support guys told you that there is a problem in your code then there is a problem in your code. Please be a little more detailed in describing your problems than "It does not work" as this is not a big help for us to resolve your uissue.

Teodor, the website I'm working on is a confidential project on behalf of a client, which is not yet ready to be publicly announced. Is it possible to send you the address privately rather than stating it on the forum?

ok, check the start of this thread..check the lack orf replies to mine and Nicolas. I got no reply so gave up on the tooltips and used someone else's solution it was a site that needed to go live some 6 months ago
DMX add-on's generate the code, there is no user generated code, dreamweaver generates the template, I add content and insert your add-on they don't work - which is sort of ok as you can't be expected you to test every environment, but no replies to forums (see above) I can't wait ..
the next problem was www.dmxzone.com/forum/topic/51534/?newsId=18529 again about 9 months ago - it was new so probably had problems but it didn't work in my dreamweaver environment and the support didn't really give me give me confidence so again, heard nothing back from the site export. again - found another solution.
- I would be interested to see the solution to the empty tips

there is no resolution - I gave up and stopped using the extension, support never acknowleges a problem and so never fixes it.

I have reviewed your PDF documentation and followed the documentation like a tutorial and I also get the Empty Tooltip message at the top of the page.
Also my tool tip only displays at the top of the page. I have a very simple html page that doesn't work.

Hi All
To make you tooltips work correctly ,if you are using a LAMP server and a styles folder named "styles" .
Change "Styles" with "styles" on line #8 in ScriptLibrary/dmxTooltips.js
