All -- I've been working on a simple tooltip widget and thought I'd release it into the wild. It builds on the features found in Prototype 1.5.0 RC0 and Scriptaculous 1.6.1.

You can demo it here:

Hi,- I am looking for a clean and secure way for an ActiveRecord instance to delete itself. Say I have a User model in my app. Then the destructive action would be /users/user_id/destroy. If this action is not secured by a filter like: (*) before_filter :check_administrator_role, :only => :destroy then any user could potentially log in and start issuing: /users/1/destroy /users/2/destroy .
