[Wicket-user] Tooltips: A short tutorial (without contrib-dojo, 1.2 compatible)
Hi! I've asked so many questions on this list and got so many friendly and helpful answers, it's time to give something back. This Saturday I migrated a big web application from Wicket 1.1.1 to 1.2.1. I was using the contrib-dojo Tooltip class, which doesn't work with 1.2, so I had to find another solution. I found Igor's suggestions for tooltips at http://del.icio.us/ivaynberg/tooltip and chose to go with Sweet Titles. Sweet titles is great, but the problem is that it automatically attaches tooltips to all a, abbr and acronym tags (correct me if I'm wrong, but I am sure about the a tag). I didn't want that, though. I needed tooltips for checkboxes, and I needed to explicitly say which element should show a tooltip and which element shouldn't. So I altered the sweetTitles.js a bit and this is what I came up with: 1) Download SweetTitles from http://www.dustindiaz.com/downloads/sweet-titles.zip 2) Replace sweetTitles.js with the one I attached to this email. 3) At the moment the replacement sweetTitles.js should be able to add tooltips to the following elements: 'input', 'td', 'tr', 'textarea', 'select', 'span', 'div', 'a','abbr','acronym'. If that's not enough (or too much), edit the tipElements array at the top of the file. 4) Put the 2 JavaScript files somewhere into your package (ie org.example.app.javascript) 5) Either put the CSS file into your package as well or add the contents to a CSS file you already use in your application 6) Add this to the head section of the html file you want to use tooltips in: wicket:link script wicket:id=addEventJs/script script wicket:id=sweetTitlesJs/script /wicket:link 7) Add the JavaScript resources to your page: add(new JavaScriptReference(addEventJs, new PackageResourceReference(YourApplication.get(), YourPage.class, javascript/addEvent.js))); add(new JavaScriptReference(sweetTitlesJs, new PackageResourceReference(YourApplication.get(), YourPage.class, javascript/sweetTitles.js))); 8) Add the Attribute showtooltip to the element that should show a tooltip (only elements with this attibute will show tooltips): someWicketComponent.add(new AttributeModifier(showtooltip, true, new Model(true))); 9) Either add the content of the tooltip to the element in the html file, using the title attribute: input type=checkbox wicket:id=myCheckbox title=Hi, I am a tooltip./ ...or add dynamic tooltip texts using an AttributeModifier: someWicketComponent.add(new AttributeModifier(title, true, new Model(Hi, I am a dynamic tooltip.))); 10) There is no step 10 I hope this is helpful to somebody.
