Show cell value contents in a tool tip database grid

Post by blakenielson1 »

In a database grid one of the columns displays dynamic content that may exceed the the column width. When I mouse over the column I would like to display the cell contents in a tool tip or is there a better way to do this?

The biggest problem with tooltips is that they don't work on touch devices such as phones, tablets, etc.

If that's not an issue in your environment, then a tool tip may be a good solution.

What would the JavaScript do? Can you show the code that sets the value of the dynamic column?
