Cellsrenderer and Tooltips

[GrantLetourneauParticipant]

I’m using cellsrenderer and want to set a tooltip. I saw this thread:

http://www.jqwidgets.com/community/topic/grid-tooltip/

Which said “As you are using custom cells rendering, you can provide a tooltip by setting the title attribute to the returned HTML string.”

I don’t understand where I would set that.

What would I change in this simple code:

var rend_test = function (row, columnfield, value, defaulthtml, columnproperties) {
	var formattedValue = replace("abc","xyz")
	return '<span style="float: ' + columnproperties.cellsalign + ';">' + formattedValue + '</span>';
};		
......
$("#jqxgrid").jqxGrid(
{
	enabletooltips: true,
	columns: [
		,{ text: 'ColName', datafield: 'SomeField', width: 75, cellsrenderer: rend_test }
......

Hi GrantLetourneau,

May be your string should be:

	return '<span title="' + formattedValue + '" style="float: ' + columnproperties.cellsalign + ';">' + formattedValue + '</span>';

But that would just change what shows up in the actual cell, not in the associated tooltip, right?

Or would that keep the original tooltip? I’m curious about that “title” item mention in the previous post, because it seems it can be used to create custom tooltips for each cell.
