Thanks Jaque, Jim and Richard for the insights - you've given me the necessary ingredients for a workaround.

I'm surprised that such measures are necessary for a net-aware development environment - and I can't find any requests on the QA forum to address this issue.

So, I've added this feature request in the QA forum to add 'Messages and pointer cursor over hyperlinks in fields'  http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=9609
Best,
Keith..
