JQuery PopBox Balloon UI Inspired by Highrise
- xyzzyb 14y agoThat looks fine, but how is it different that the plethora of alternate implementations of that particular UI widget? e.g. Bootstrap's popover: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/javascript.html#popovers http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/javascript.html#popovers
- talmand 14y agoBecause having just one of everything is boring and eventually stagnates?
- xyzzyb 14y agoAbsolutely. I just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing some new twist that this tool was providing.
- crazybuddha 14y agoBootstrap is a hover pop-up, mostly used for read-only. This is more like a click pop-up both read-write. User can click, fill in a form and submit.
- bicknergseng 14y agoAlso pretty easy to recreate using qTip2 http://craigsworks.com/projects/qtip2/ http://craigsworks.com/projects/qtip2/.
- behanpsean 14y agoI saw qTip, but looked too heavy. Prob. took as much time to write the plugin as to read the qTip docs.
- bicknergseng 14y agoNo arguments there. But I suppose if you want a tooltip framework that also bizarrely functions as modal dialogs, hover menus, alerts, notifications, ........., and maybe even tooltips, qtip2 would probably cover your bases. Either way cool plugin.
- chrisrhoden 14y agoIt also doesn't really look fine. The shadow doesn't follow the pointy bit, which looks especially bad with such a huge drop shadow. Does this even work across browsers?
- behanpsean 14y agothe css shadow isn't required.
- corkill 14y agoThanks pretty cool!
- jcampbell1 14y agoI had never seen this css border trick for drawing triangles. It works in IE7+. Bootstrap uses the same technique.
- behanpsean 14y agoYes, it's quite nice. The idea came from here http://jonrohan.me/guide/css/creating-triangles-in-css/ http://jonrohan.me/guide/css/creating-triangles-in-css/
- webXL 14y agoReally? Maybe that's because you've never asked in the form of a URL: http://cssarrowplease.com/ http://cssarrowplease.com/
- behanpsean 14y agoAwesome!
- jcampbell1 14y agoYours is actually better because it works in IE7. I really hate these sites that don't tell you what browsers are supported.
- mrgreenfur 14y agoreally awesome. love simple tools!
- hokua 14y agowhats the license?
- behanpsean 14y agoMIT (just added to README)
- overshard 14y agoThere are a bunch of ways to do this already, and this requires jQuery. The only way I could see this as being interesting is if it has no dependencies. I really wish people would stop developing with jQuery as a dependency...
- behanpsean 14y agoIt may not be interesting, but it may be useful to some folks.
- petetandon 14y agoGreat start behanpsean!!!, have a look at beautytip for more ideas to add : http://archive.plugins.jquery.com/project/bt http://archive.plugins.jquery.com/project/bt
- behanpsean 14y agoThanks. I will!
- leovinci 14y ago> Inspired by Highrise don't know what highrise is, but that sort of ui component has been around longer than 37thingy.
