[Seaside] JQWidgetBox Bubble Tips

[Nick Ager]

Hi Robert,

Quick answers with (if afraid) minimal investigation:

For some reason the tip doesn't like to appear relative to where it's set
> when scrolling either.

Scrolled tips work for me on Safari I haven't tried other browers. Have a
look at the original version - http://www.uhleeka.com/demo/bubbletip/ - does
that work after a scroll? That will isolate the problem to either the
Seaside integration or the jQuery plugin. If it's jQuery plugin at fault,
check to see if a later version available. Do they mention the scroll bug in
their bug list? Feel free to update Query-Widgets to a later version.

Just out of curiosity, how come when I load html I need to have an id for it

I guess the id is required by bubbletip library but I'm not sure (I don't
remember doing anything clever with the integration). If you want to
investigate examine the html and javascript created by Seaside with a tool
like firebug.

As I'm sure you've noticed there are many ways of displaying tips -
http://localhost:8080/jquery-widgets/bubbletip for examples.

I discovered tipsy after integrating bubble tip.  At the time I found tipsy
it appeared to be under more active development and thought it might have
been a better choice. If tipsy isn't in the JQuery-Widgets repository I
doubt anyone has integrated it. Feel free to integrate it though.
