[Seaside] Tooltip in Seaside 2.8 Not Working

Sun Aug 26 22:36:08 UTC 2007

Hi,
I went through Ramon's screencast to rectify the mistake I had committed
yesterday while uploading. Now I have uploaded version 11.

In the tooltip package, you need to click on the paragraph or anchor for the
tooltip to be displayed. I am now tweaking around to have tooltip on any
element, when the mouse is hovered on it.

I figured out you have 2 ways of doing it.

a) Using CSS :

But, I couldn't achieve this as this is done in pure html and I am not aware
of equivalent smalltalk/seaside code for this. What is the equivalent of the
following html

<p>
  Some filler text...
   <a href="#">Link text<span>Tooltip text!</span></a>
  ...Some more filler text...
 </p>

b) Using Javascripts.

one of the best google result is
http://www.nickstakenburg.com/projects/prototip/

I tried to explore it. Since, my javascript background isn't that strong, I
couldn't figure out on what would be equivalent seaside code.

Well, as a matter of fact, there is already tooltip used in one place. In
inPlaceEditor, we have "clickAndEdit". I am presently going through
controlsJs, but not much progress either.

Nowadays, almost all frameworks have a default tooltip attribute, cant we
have one in Seaside. I can help out in this. Either using CSS or Javascript.
Though Seaside website (www.seaside.st) has tooltips on almost all anchors
which display the anchor name itself which I think is mere redundancy.

Regards,
Rajeev
