Newbie to th forum and did some searching, but could not find an example.
I have a Hotspot that represents a “?” I was planning on using it to create a “Help” type of text box that user can click to view information expected in nearby field.
Just not sure how to code or what command to use in the Click portion of the Button.
Thank you for any and all input.
Subject: For use in Notes, or on the web?
In Notes, you select the text, and choose Create - HotSpot - Text Pop-up. For example, this is how it is used in the Domino Directory to explain the fields in the server documents:
Note that you can display help for a field in the Notes status bar, but most users will miss it. Starting with Notes 6 you can also add Field Hints that will show the user an example of what to input.
Finally, you can create your own help system so that when users hit F1, it will take them to specific help about your application. Look in Domino Designer’s Help DB for “OpenHelpDocument @Command”.
For the web I add a “?” graphic, and then use javascript’s alert function in the onClick event.

Thanks for the input
While waiting that is the way I figured it out.
Subject: Hey Alan, what tool do you use to get that cute “tear” effect on your graphics?
I love that.
Subject: SnagIt from TechSmith. After Notes, it is by far my favourtite software.

Hi guys,
This looks like it will work for me. One problem. My client will be doing this in the client on his side. the problem is that you cant access the code events for onclick without designer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
One more thing, I’m using this app in the client and in the web, so I assume i would need to leave the Hotspot pop-up text there and get him to insert the alert code if possible for the web.
