Lawrence,
You could include our SimileAjax API in your HTML like so
<html>
<head>
...
<script
src="http://static.simile.mit.edu/ajax/api/simile-ajax-api.js";></script>
...
add this script
<script>
function showBubbleOnElement(elmt) {
var coords = SimileAjax.DOM.getPageCoordinates(elmt);
var bubble = SimileAjax.Graphics.createBubbleForPoint(
document, coords.left, coords.top, 400 /* width */, 300 /*
height */);
bubble.content.innerHTML = "blah blah blah";
}
</script>
and hook up onclick event handlers
<span onclick="showBubbleOnElement(this);">Synopsis</span>
Cheers,
David
