This command reference lists the command you one use to control scrolling in coolTip. This module introduces the simplified scrolling procedure that Fote Macrides first introduced in his code set (See http://www.macridesweb.com/oltest/ Fote has removed this type of scrolling from his command set in favor of the more rigorous Followscroll plugin). Read the core module documentation for more information about other ways to customize coolTip.

Remember that commands are always in uppercase (case-sensitive) and can have none or up to two parameter values.

To include these support modules just include the following statements in the HEAD section of your document:

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" SRC="cCore.js"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" SRC="cScroll.js"></SCRIPT>

You only have to make sure that the cScroll.js module is loaded after the core module.

SCROLL example

When used on a command line, indicates that a coolTip should follow any scrolling of the document in the browser window. Default value is to not scroll (0). This command switches the current state of the associated default variable to its opposite state. On some browsers, you may not see the popup scroll as you move the scroll bar with your cursor unless you move it back into the browser window, where it will appear to jump into place. This occurs because it is being set by a command in the ctMouseMove routine. The FOLLOWSCROLL command, on the other hand, causes the popup to follow the scroll bar because it sets up a function which is continually called after FOLLOWSCROLLREFRESH milli-seconds to reposition the coolTip. Of course, this adds more code to be downloaded. Use this command if you're concerned about code size.
