Peter, I don't know if you own nsIWidget or whether Chris owns nsIWidget, but the tooltip API isn't complete and needs work before tooltip support oin Gecko (and Apprunner in general) can be implemented. The plan had always been to use the native platform specific code for tooltips, but that support was never fully implemented (e.g., there's no way in the nsIWidget API to specify the tooltip text). Kevin wanted to have tooltips be XP and use Gecko to render the tooltips, but that support was never implemented. I don't really care which approach we adopt; although I think it's easier for version 1.0 if we use the platform specific code As a client of the tooltip code I just need one or the two approaches implemented. For reference, bug #1358 is the Gecko bug for displaying tooltips for elements like IMG

We already have a Tooltip task on our schedule. I think we are intending an XP implementation, since some platforms don't have native support. reassigning to mcafee as p3 for m7. Chris, we still don't have a task breakdown for this.

Reassigning to hyatt per Friday's meeting.

The feature is on and enabled. Individual tooltip and popup bugs can be assigned to me. Closing this one out. See the back button in navigator.xul for an example of a working tooltip.

David, I need to hook up tooltips for IMG elements, but I don't see any layout or xpfe code that actually displays a tooltip Can you point me at some sample code, or tell me what classes to use? Thanks
