I want to add a feature to a page where I'm using SQLTABLE to display some of the columns of a db table.  I want to add tooltips to some of the columns I'm displaying. and I want to create those tooltips from columns I'm not displaying.  Is there a way to do that still using SQLTABLE, or do I have to do my own translation of rows into HTML?

The two ways of doing tooltips for table cells that I know of are the title attribute and span-and-hover technique.  The title attribute could be set with kwargs, but doing that wouldn't be row-specific.

Tanks a lot.

Once again, I'm interested in doing this.   I don't think the 'extra_columns' feature is what I want to use, and actually, the gloss I want to use is a column in the table I'm querying, so the most direct alternative is just to show that column, but a gloss seems much more appropriate.
