Is it possible to add images to JToolTip ? I have used HTML to achieve
the same, but the image does not get loaded. I am using java 1.5 and
the code belongs to an application

Following is the code i used ,

button_object.setToolTipText("<html><img src = \"logo.jpg \" >");

All other( i mean most of the ) HTML commands works with ToolTip
including <ul> <li> <br> etc But image does not get loaded.Could
somone please help.
When i run this code ( HTML code alone) in the browser it seems to work
fine

thanks in advance

I haven't tried their examples, but maybe it'll help you.

Hi Natasha ,

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. It worked out. I had be looking for an
answer for quite some time.

The code should have been

String imageName = "file:logo.jpg";
button_obj.setToolTipText("<html>This is an image <img
src="+imageName+"></html>");

Thanks again for your timely help.

with regards
justin
