Hi all, I''m looking for a library that''s capable of doing something similar to Google''s "popup cloud" effect on Google RSS Reader. Here''s a screenshot I took with the effect taking place: http://stevefink.net/popup.png I know there is lightbox out there, however the overall affect doesn''t render how I see fit. Is it possible to do something similar with prototype or script.aculo.us? Perhaps another library if someone more experienced doesn''t mind chiming in on? I ultimately want to allow a user to input data into a form directly in this popup, and then I''ll use server-side calls for further processing. Thank you kindly for any insight.

this was posted a while back. I''ll c/p it here - this was not by me, I am not affiliated with the following nor am I trying to take credit for it. staaky <nickstakenburg-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> to Ruby I made a simple Effect.Tooltip for scriptaculous the other day. Showed it to madrobby and came to the conclusion that something like this might be better as a seperate class, instead of using the Effects framework. I''ll just toss in the Effect for now. Maybe it can help to build that class one day. http://www.illustate.com/playground/scriptaculous/tooltip/ - staaky On 7/11/07, Steve Finkelstein <sf-C0mP0LgZqWJbRRN4PJnoQQ@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > > Hi all, > > I''m looking for a library that''s capable of doing something similar to > Google''s "popup cloud" effect on Google RSS Reader.

Brian - Thank you for the reply. I should have been more clear. I need to be able to throw a form into this "popup". So the tooltip won''t work as it''s content that''s not interactive with the user. The idea behind this is so a user can click a forgot password/username anchor and have a low-overhead inline popup appear with a form for input. Thanks again! - sf Brian Williams wrote:> this was posted a while back.

sorry, but i''ve not seen anything like what you want. There is something like http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex8/dhtmlwindow/index.htm but no framework. I''d be interested in one too.

You could use the xilinus prototype windows library and build a custom theme. You can find it at http://prototype-window.xilinus.com/. You can put virtually anything in a window...the only things that I''ve found that don''t work are webpages with frame-busting code. If anything, you might find that this library is overkill for what you are trying to do. I use it on my home page (http://bgok.net) to show images, other webpages and video in a javascript window. I use a standard theme, but building themes isn''t difficult if you have a good graphics/image program like photoshop, fireworks or gimp.

I''m pretty sure I remember someone on this list creating a bubble tooltip widget some time ago - and I believe (as all good tooltips should) it allowed plopping any arbitrary HTML inside (e.g. the form you''re looking for). I''ll post a link here if I find it. I could be imagining it - but I almost can swear I''ve seen one here.

Thanks Ryan, looking forward to hearing back. BTW, something similar to http://www.netlobo.com/div_hiding.html would be great.

Good lib though.Google for how Google Maps does the location pop -- with cloud effects, a directed tail, multiple sizes, and a shadow. They do it all inside a translucent PNG, apparently with the tail and shadow painted on. That all alpha-channel blends into the map, providing all the visual cues. In a day or two, the shadow will deform correctly with the underlying topology...

Hi You can do it with PWC ( http://prototype-window.xilinus.com/. ) there is a tooltip add-on to do it. Tooltip content can be filled by ajax or url, so if you want to check if you user is logged in, it''s pretty easy. And Mila76 has done a theme that looks like the PNG you sent (http:// mila76.it/js.html, move your mouse on "Ajax Tooltip") but you can do your own. Seb On Jul 11, 2007, at 11:01 PM, K.
