anyone know a good way to do a caption popup on mouseover?
I have been using overlib (javascript library) to create popups on mouseover but it has issues with some browsers. I just need something simple and was wondering if any had any suggestions. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Re: anyone know a good way to do a caption popup on mouseover?
I needed something very simple and flexible, so I put this in my app.html.erb:
<div id="info_bubble">
</div>
this in app.js
function info(obj, msg){
if (msg) {
$(''info_bubble'').innerHTML = msg;
$(''info_bubble'').style.top = obj.y + ''px''
$(''info_bubble'').style.left = 30 + obj.x +
''px''
$(''info_bubble'').style.visibility =
''visible'';
} else { $(''info_bubble'').style.visibility =
''hidden'' }
}
this is app.css
#info_bubble {
opacity: .80;
filter: alpha(opacity=80);
position:absolute;
border:1px #333 solid;
visibility:hidden;
font-size:10px;
font-family: verdana;
color:#000;
font-weight:bold;
background:#85a5d6;
padding:5px;
}
and added the tag on the object :onMouseOver => "info(this,
''download'')", :onMouseOut => "info()"
it worked for me, but I have the bad habit to do everything in house.. :)

I did not try it on god-damn-IE.. =) you should modify the js part with code from this example http://www.codelifter.com/main/javascript/capturemouseposition1.html, the script was originally based on mouse position, but I thought it was annoying.. :) On Thu, Dec 18, 2008 at 3:01 PM, Scott Kulik <rails-mailing-list-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Scott Kulik wrote: >> cool thanks i''ll test it out this week! > > i just got it working. i like it because it''s so simple but is there > anyway to have the popup show up at the mouse pointer instead of a fixed > location? > > i dont know javascript very well offhand. > > also, it looks like it''s getting invalid argument on IE7 :( > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > > > >-- Emanuele Tozzato +1 (619) 549 3230 4955 Narragansett Ave Apt #9 San Diego Ca 92107-3157 http://mekdigital.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
