Hi Sergey,
How to show a description of each column header When we pass the mouse over it?
I have several pages and projects with a lot of columns that i have to abbreviate the title of each column to a point not even my self remeber whisch one is what.
So, it would be extremelly usefull and nice to be able to do that as one more feature of the PROPERTIES of a column (Header).

Thanks
J

Alberto,
to add a description for the column header add title parameter to the <a> tag of column header.

You can do it in the HTML mode on the Visual Editor tab.

Here is a sample code:

<A class=blackshade title="Your Description" href="TableName_list.asp?orderby={$order_dir_FieldName} FieldName">FieldName</A>

Thanks Jane, I will try sounds doable though.
Now I was thinking that, since we have in the Step 6 of 12 the chance of entering the label in the same place we could do the same to show the mouse over description we are talking about. Would be really powerful feature as other tools already do.
Thanks a lot
