Tooltip for Datagrid Column Header

StephanieWidas — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 11:31:33 GMT

Greetings!
I used the example here - http://blogs.esri.com/Dev/blogs/arcgisserver/archive/2009/12/14/Add-a-Zoom-button-to-a-DataGrid.aspx - to set up a datagrid to display my results. This works great, but I would like to change the tooltip that displays when you hover over the column name. In the example, when you hover over the magnifying glass in the column header, a plus sign (+) appears. I would like to change this to something more meaningful - like "Zoom." I have searched and searched, but can not find where this is set. Does anyone know how I can change it?
Thanks!

well, in the posted example, if you look at the source code, down in the HTML section look at your table tag. specifically this line:

              <th field="ObjectID" formatter="makeZoomButton" width="25px">
                <img alt="+" src="zoom.png"/>
              </th>

the <img> tag... change the '+' in the alt attribute to 'zoom' and that should do it.

YES!! That was it. I knew it had to be something simple. One of the drawbacks of copying and pasting code from examples...I didn't even see that in there. Thank you!!!
