Google/Netflix Like Tooltips

I need to have a toolip-like object which has dynamic content in it.  I
plan on using scriptaculous with an ajax call to retrieve the content,
but I would like to make the popup/tooltip/balloon text look as nice as
possible.  Does anyone have any examples or anything useful to create a
popup like the ones that Google and Netflix have?  I''d like to have one
which must be "X''ed" out of, not simply disappearing after
mousing off
of the object.  I googled around some, but didn''t find anything super
easy to use.  I was surprised that I didn''t find anything built into
Prototype/Scriptaculous to help with the Dom work.  Ideas?  Thanks for
any help.

RE: Google/Netflix Like Tooltips

In my opinion Prototype and Scriptaculous aren''t widget libraries
(except Scriptaculous has a quasai-widget; the auto-completer). However to
create a pop-up like Netflix or google, is incredibly easy.

"mask" the underlying page.
3)       Add better CSS to the dialogue to add rounded corners (possibly remove
the title text)

I''m curious - does this work OK on IE? Last time I tried this tooltip,
it
didn''t work properly on IE. I can''t recall what the problem
was.

RE: Re: Google/Netflix Like Tooltips

There is a note on the website which says: The following is a Netflix
copycat. Note: Does not work properly in IE properly, as it uses 24bit
pngs, which IE doesn''t support (by default:)

Because of this I did not use the "Netflix" style tooltip, just the
normal style.  In addition to the above note, I did have some issues
with it (not IE specific though).  

I didn''t like the idea of having to add a bunch of divs on my pages. 
So
I needed to dynamically create new tooltip divs.  My problem was when I
attempted to dynamically add the tooltip via the
Tooltip.add(''idOfActivator'', ''idOfTooltip'');
function he describes on
the website it didn''t work correctly.  However, when the div had the
"tooltip" class defined everything worked fine.  So this was my work
around (just the important stuff):

className = "tooltip for_" + startDiv.id;
Element.addClassName(outerDiv, className);

// make it a new tooltip, do normal setup
Tooltip.setup();
	
// move the tooltip to the cursor location
Tooltip.autoMoveToCursor = true;

//show the tooltip
Tooltip.toggle(startDiv, event);


That way you are using the class name to create the tooltip, however it
is still dynamic.  Did you have any specific issues with it in IE?

script.aculo.us effect to update elements

Hi,
perhaps I am overseeing this but it seems that there is no easy way to set
up a queue with two effects (fade and appear) and in between exchange the
content.
So I have an application with static layout and just want to animate the
exchange of the content from the main div.

So I wrote my own effect. The nice thing is that this is now queue able.

Effect.Updater = Class.create();
Object.extend(Object.extend(Effect.Updater.prototype,
Effect.Base.prototype), {
  initialize: function(element) {
    this.element = $(element);
    var options = Object.extend({
      duration: 0.001,
      newContent: ''''
    }, arguments[1] || {});
    this.start(options);
  },
  loop: function(timePos) {
    if(timePos >= this.startOn) {
      Element.update(this.element,this.options.newContent);
      this.cancel();
      return;
    }
  }
});

So I can now put this to the method I pass to onComplete of Ajax.Request

function reload_content(ajax){
  el = $(''content'');
  new Effect.Fade(el,{queue:''front''});
  new
Effect.Updater(el,{newContent:ajax.responseText,queue:''end''});
  new Effect.Appear(el,{queue:''end''});
}

Is there a better way to accomplish this? If not, then I might contribute
this when I figure out how the version control system works :)

Re: script.aculo.us effect to update elements

Nice effect... although I''m more inclined to call it a control or
widget
than effect. Perhaps you can also make it support passing in an array of
values to allow for non-ajax updates. For instance, "new Effect.Updater(el,
{newContentArray: [''foo'', ''bar'',
''blah''], queue: ''end''});"

RE: script.aculo.us effect to update elements

I must say I like your approach.

I was looking for something similar for my website a week or so ago and rolled
my own solution which is nowhere near as elegant.
(code at http://www.josephbauser.net/javascripts/application.js example use
at... well the main site. If you do check it out, please be gentile
it''s very much a work in progress ;)

I definitely over thought the solution (forgot about Element.update for one).

Well done. :)

Joe

Subject: [Rails-spinoffs] script.aculo.us effect to update elements


Hi,
perhaps I am overseeing this but it seems that there is no easy way to set
up a queue with two effects (fade and appear) and in between exchange the
content.
So I have an application with static layout and just want to animate the
exchange of the content from the main div.

So I wrote my own effect. The nice thing is that this is now queue able.

Effect.Updater = Class.create();
Object.extend(Object.extend(Effect.Updater.prototype,
Effect.Base.prototype), {
  initialize: function(element) {
    this.element = $(element);
    var options = Object.extend({
      duration: 0.001,
      newContent: ''''
    }, arguments[1] || {});
    this.start(options);
  },
  loop: function(timePos) {
    if(timePos >= this.startOn) {
      Element.update(this.element,this.options.newContent);
      this.cancel();
      return;
    }
  }
});

So I can now put this to the method I pass to onComplete of Ajax.Request

function reload_content(ajax){
  el = $(''content'');
  new Effect.Fade(el,{queue:''front''});
  new
Effect.Updater(el,{newContent:ajax.responseText,queue:''end''});
  new Effect.Appear(el,{queue:''end''});
}

Is there a better way to accomplish this? If not, then I might contribute
this when I figure out how the version control system works :)
