Folks,
Mac I.E. does not use "tool tips" over programmed buttons as does Windows
I.E., at least in Outlook Web Access (OWA).
As you hover the mouse over a button on the horizontal Toolbar of OWA in
Windows I.E., a tool tip appears to name that button.
In Mac I.E., you must look at the code displayed in the Status Bar of the
browser window. For instance, if you hover your mouse over the "Compose new
message button", the first horizontal Toolbar button of the Inbox, the
Status Bar at the bottom of the browser window will display something like
"javascript:parent.composeNEW(0)". A tad bit obscure, but it helps identify
that the button is used to compose.

Subject: Tic-Tech: pop up text in OWA
--- TIC-TECH message:
Does anyone not see the pop-up-text (I think I have the terminology correct)
when they are using OWA (Outlook Web Access) with an IMAC?
I am referring to the descriptive text you see when you put your mouse arrow
on say the reply icon.
When I use OWA from my pc at home I always see the text. I am wondering if
there is something that has to be turned on for it to work on the IMAC?
I was showing a novice user today how to use OWA on an IMAC and it was quite
challenging to understand what the icon does without descriptive text.
