I just wanted to share one quick and easy way to add a tooltip to a mouseover on a gridView.
To show you how, I created a simple .aspx page with the following code (NOTE: this page was created using a simple query from the core DotNetNuke database. You can replace with a simple select statement from Northwind or whatever database you wish. I just use DNN and that's what this site is for, so why not...)
Here is a very simple example to show you how easy it is to get started creating your own gridView mouseover tooltips.
************************************************
** First, create an .aspx page and drop a SqlDataSource on the page:
************************************************
id = "SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString=""
SelectCommand="SELECT [UserID], [Username], [FirstName], [LastName], [Email] FROM [Users]">
*****************************************************
** Next, drop a GridView control and hook it up to the SqlDataSource:
*****************************************************
"gvNotes" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True"
AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" EmptyDataText="There are not any notes on this account."
Font-Size="0.85em" GridLines="Horizontal" Width="100%" BorderWidth="0px" CellPadding="4"
DataKeyNames="UserID" HorizontalAlign="Center" PageSize="4" OnRowDataBound="gvNotes_RowDataBound">
"UserID" HeaderText="UserID" InsertVisible="False" ReadOnly="True"
SortExpression="UserID" Visible="False" />
"Username" HeaderText="Username" SortExpression="Username" />
"FirstName" HeaderText="FirstName" SortExpression="FirstName" />
"LastName" HeaderText="LastName" SortExpression="LastName" />
"Email" HeaderText="Email" SortExpression="Email" />
Columns>
"NumericFirstLast" PageButtonCount="5" />
"Left" VerticalAlign="Middle" />
"alternatingRow" HorizontalAlign="Left" VerticalAlign="Middle" />
"Left" VerticalAlign="Top" />

** Third, add the Javascript
