How to get the Cursor hover description displayed in Portal PowerApp?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 555

In my Portal PowerApp Form, I have a label:

Pennsylvania Agency or Commission/PASSHE Bureau.

I would like to show the description: Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education when my cursor hovers over the word PASSHE.

 

I have tried both of the formula listed below. But when the form is published and viewed on the Portal, it does not work! Instead, it just shows the way I had typed it in the Label of the control box as shown below.

 

Pennsylvania Agency or Commission/<abbr title="Pennsylvania's State System of Higher Education">PASSHE</abbr> Bureau

 

Pennsylvania Agency or Commission&#47<abbr title="Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education">PASSHE</abbr> Bureau

 

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thank you,
SueA

    Hi @SueA 

     

    • Go to Your Basic Form
    • Click on Additional Settings
    • Add below code in Custom JavaScript
    $(document).ready(function() {
    	$("#logicalname_label").html("Pennsylvania Agency or Commission/<abbr title='Pennsylvania&#39s State System of Higher Education'>PASSHE</abbr> Bureau");
    });

     

    Please replace "logicalname" with your field logical name.

     

    If this doesn't work, please share the screenshot of your field and inspect element of your field?

    Hi @SueA ,

    Can you give little bit more idea does your Web page is custom page or you are using the Entity Form (basic Form)?

    Thanks,
    Manoj.

    @SueA did you enable tooltips on the Basic Form configuration?:

    I was able to resolve this issue. Sharing here:

    I needed to insert a One column Section and use the SECTION LABEL to place the formula below:

     

    Pennsylvania Agency or Commission&#47<abbr title="Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education">PASSHE</abbr> Bureau

     

    And it worked!

     

    Before I was trying to use the label of the control box. For some reason, the control box label is not intuitive to the HTML code.

    Thank you all for the help. I learned a lot along the way.

    Regards,
    SueA.
