<DIV><SPAN class=463114214-23062008><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>One
example is worth a lot. Thanks! I was using the wrong terminology
like 'title' or 'alt' like I used in the Mapmorph app. I think the "How
To" gallery is great but I did not see an example for this. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=184111714-23062008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>With a group you can specify a tip attribute like
this:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=184111714-23062008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2><group title="Misc." expand="true" tip="Information
about this folder goes here"></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=184111714-23062008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>With the layer you can specify a tip, help icon or
metadata icon. The tip is a maptip versus the help and metadata icons
are hyperlinks to another webpage. Here would put all three on a
layer:</FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=184111714-23062008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2><BR> <map title="USGS Gaging
Stations" default="true" tip="This layer is visible at a 1:1,500,000
scale"><BR>

into the javascript code and add the behaviour you want or hire a developer to
add the functionality you want to the GeoMOOSE base code.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=235390114-23062008><FONT face=Arial size=2>I want to use
maptips to help users know how to better use the web site. In particular
I want a maptip to briefly describe the folder or contents. I probably
could link to a help page from the table of contents but not finding
examples. Any suggestions?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
