MouseOver text in kiosk mode - Mozilla

What type of object is the mouse over text

[Demaestro]

I have designed an internal web based app for a client which has several work stations set up to use it in Kiosk mode to prevent unwanted surfing and use of the computer.

I recently added in some code that will have a description display when you mouse over the image. I naturally used the title property on the <img> tag. It works for me and the admins who aaren't using the Mozilla kiosk mode. However when viewing the page in kiosk the mouse over text will not appear. Now I am doing stuff like having pop-up windows and file download boxes open behind the kiosk window so that they don't interfere with the users view but were required for some of the functionality of the app.

I have done searching on the net and can't find anything on this subject.

Can someone answer what type of object that little "thingy" (for lack of a better word) is? Is it considered a 'window' by the browser and so is affected by the logic that popups open behind the kiosk window?

Any input would be greatly appriciated.

I believe the thingy you're talking about is called a "tool-tip"

Thanks Ted!

Now I have to find out what about my kiosk mode setup is stopping this from displaying. Sigh...
