In my opinion Prototype and Scriptaculous aren’t widget libraries (except Scriptaculous has a quasai-widget; the auto-completer). However to create a pop-up like Netflix or google, is incredibly easy.

 

<html>

           

            <head>

 

                        <title>SimpleUgly PopUp Test</title>     

                        <script type="text/_javascript_" src="">

                        <script type="text/_javascript_" src="">

</head>

<body>

            <input type="button" id="button" name="blar" value="blar">

           

            <div style="display:none;width:500;border:1px solid black;" id="popUpContainer">

                        <div id="title" style="border-bottom:1px solid black;">

                                    <span id="title" >My PopUpTitle</span>

                                    <span id="close" >X</span>

                        </div>

            <div id="content" >blablalba<BR>bla<BR>bla</div>

            </div>

           

<script type="text/_javascript_">

            new Draggable( "popUpContainer" );

    Event.observe( "button", "click", function(){$("popUpContainer").style.display="block"});

    Event.observe( "close", "click", function(){$("popUpContainer").style.display="none"; });

</script>

 

            </body>

<head>

 

The ToDo List:

1)       add fade in/fade out effects from scriptaculous

2)       attach an IFRAME and div combo the document.body and have them “mask” the underlying page.

3)       Add better CSS to the dialogue to add rounded corners (possibly remove the title text)

I need to have a toolip-like object which has dynamic content in it.  I plan on using scriptaculous with an ajax call to retrieve the content, but I would like to make the popup/tooltip/balloon text look as nice as possible.  Does anyone have any examples or anything useful to create a popup like the ones that Google and Netflix have?  I’d like to have one which must be “X’ed” out of, not simply disappearing after mousing off of the object.  I googled around some, but didn’t find anything super easy to use.  I was surprised that I didn’t find anything built into Prototype/Scriptaculous to help with the Dom work.  Ideas?  Thanks for any help.
