26 Sep
Posted by Ray Cheung as License Free, Tooltips
Bubble Tooltips are an easy way to add (via a bit of CSS and javascript) fancy tooltips with a balloon shape to any web page. They operate this way:
- A check for DOM support is performed
- If found, the title and href attributes of links are extracted from the page and they’re injected into a DOM structure
- When the mouse is rolled over a link, the related tooltip (styled with CSS) is displayed
Requirements: Internet Explorer 5.0+, Opera 8.5+, Safari 2.0+, Firefox 1.5+

Sweet Titles Fading Tooptips is not a knock-off from NICE Titles nor is it trying to improve on Dunstan’s revised attempt. And it most definitely isn’t ripped from one of those event-handler infested scripts from Dynamic Drive . No. It’s none of those. Instead he had two goals for this script.
- Make the code cleaner and much more condense – with in fact – less code
- Improve the tooltip effect

Prototip allows you to easily create both simple and complex tooltips using the Prototype javascript framework. If you also use Scriptaculous you can even add some nice effects to them as well. You can easily create fixed or offset tooltips with blinding or fade in/out effect. You can also define Hooking for the tooltips which allows you to place your tooltips anywhere in relation to your target elements. The concept is simple, you define two corners that you want to ‘hook’ to eachother. One on the target element, the other one on the tooltip.

Cloud Zoom is a jQuery plugin comparable to commercial image zoom products such as Magic Zoom. Compared to the popular jQZoom plugin, Cloud Zoom is smaller, has more features and more robust compatability across browsers. It has been tested on IE6+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari.
You can add a tint of any colour to the small image. The intensity of tint is fully customisable. Zoom position can be inside the smaller image, useful if you would rather not obscure any other content. You can also apply a subtle soft-focus effect to the small image. Best of all, Cloud Zoom is completely free.

Javascript Annotation Plugin Adds & Saves Image Annotations

Posted by Ray Cheung as License Free, Tooltips
ZURB has released the latest application called Verify, which allows you to collect user feedback through interactive tools. A lot of these tools require the user to annotate an image so they came up with a single plugin they could use for the entire app.
JavaScript Annotation Plugin makes it dead simple to add and save image annotations. Here’s how it works: The first parameter to annotatableImage is a function implemented by you and defines the element that will be added when you click. In the example below that function is called blackNote. Simple right?

Image-free CSS Tooltip Pointers with Polygonal CSS
14 May
Posted by Ray Cheung as License Free, Tooltips
A while back, Tantek Celik released A Study of Regular Polygons, which used a little-known CSS trick to create non-rectangular shapes such as triangles and pentagons with nothing more than an ordinary HTML element.
The tooltip widget design, fairly common in websites these days, uses a small triangular “speech bubble” pointer that is typically created quite easily with a background image. However, filamentgroup wanted to keep jQuery UI widgets entirely themable, and using an image for that purpose wouldn’t fit with the flexibility jQuery UI requires.
How to solve this problem without any need for images? That challenge led filamentgroup to the experimental approach using polygonal CSS, developed Image-free CSS Tooltip Pointers.

A few days ago, Ben Nadel programmed a little proof-of-concept for Flickr-style photo tagging using jQuery. He did it as an exploration in mouse-based event binding. He took a step further and packaged the jQuery code up into a jQuery plugin (phototagger.jquery.js), build a light-weight ColdFusion persistence layer (drop-and-run, no database required), and turned it into an official project: jQuery Photo Tagger.
jQuery Photo Tagger comes in at about 1,000 lines of code. As such, you can either check out the project page or try the online demo for yourself. Please note that you have to hold CTRL key when clicking mouse to create hotspot.

TipTip detects the edges of the browser window and will make sure the tooltip stays within the current window size. As a result the tooltip will adjust itself to be displayed above, below, to the left or to the right of the element with TipTip applied to it, depending on what is necessary to stay within the browser window.

How to Build the New Visual Annotations with CSS3
14 Jan
Posted by Ray Cheung as License Free, Tooltips
ZURB has taught us How to Build the New Visual Annotations. The solution was not technically too complex. With Notable, they have embraced the concept of graceful degradation: they take advantage of new CSS techniques that degrade cleanly to older browsers.
The note overlays are composed of two main elements, an outer border div and an inner overlay div. The trickiest piece, and most fun, was actually the gradient on the border. They didn’t want to use a canvas knockout so instead they used border-image, which is a really versatile but slightly tricky CSS property.
The basic gist of border-image is that you can set an image of your choosing as the overlay for the border of an object, but the truth is quite a bit more complicated.

Show Your Links as a Drop Down List with Pluralink
04 Nov
Posted by Ray Cheung as License Free, Tooltips
Pluralink is an amazing javascript plugin to arrange multiple links in your text. Here is how it works. Suppose you have to include 3 links in a text. What you usually do is that you list it one after the other in a single line which gives a feeling of repetition. For example, if you want to link to google, yahoo and bing in a single line, you will write as “the three top search engines google, yahoo, bing contribute …”.
But with Pluralink you can show all your links as a drop down list from which the user can choose any of those. It gives a nicer look as well. You can download either the pure pluralink version or the wordpress plugin version for free.

A few months ago, James Padolsey introduced a cool greyscale technique for non-IE browsers. His technique inspired SohTanaka to come up with a workaround with a similar effect.
Greyscale Hover Effect with CSS & jQuery relies on CSS Sprites and a few lines of jQuery, but requires a bit of preparation before it can be implemented. It is not recommended for large scale projects and probably best for displaying portfolio pieces.

Get a Closer Look with AnythingZoomer jQuery Plugin
22 Jul
Posted by Ray Cheung as License Free, Tooltips
You have a small area. You mouse over it. An area pops up giving you a zoomed in closer look. AnythingZoomer is a jQuery plugin that does it.
It’s flexible in many ways, in that the “small”, “large”, and “zoom” areas are all pretty easy to customize via CSS. It’s inflexible in other ways, in that it doesn’t “automatically” work by cloning content or anything like that (which is arguably more flexible), and the HTML structure is fairly rigid.

Create a Content Rich Tooltip with JSON and jQuery
13 Jul
Posted by Ray Cheung as License Free, Tooltips
Today we’re going to break the mold of the traditional tooltip. This tutorial will demonstrate how to build tooltips that are powered by jQuery, with information pulled from a JSON array. Here’s a look at the final result that we’ll be looking to make:
Our page will have two links. When a user hovers over a link, it will trigger the top banner to change its background image and text based on the entry in a JSON array. See the Demo
We’ll be using a pack of background images in later steps. You can grab those here.
New File: I have called my HTML file ‘json-tooltip.htm” for this tutorial
Our example’s HTML is pretty self explanatory. We’re just blocking out a banner to contain the tooltip information, and then placing all of the normal content below.
Pay special attention to what’s going on with link anchors with a class of “tooltip” though. This is the class that will designate which links are tooltips. Also, you’ll notice that the “rel” attribute contains a number. This is the number we’ll use to associate a specific tooltip to an anchor link. This will become clear in a few steps. (more…)
Replace Your Default Tooltip with Pretty (mb)Tooltip

A New jQuery plugin: imgPreview allows your users to preview an image before clicking on it and, out of necessity, will preload the image so when a user does click through to it there is no waiting time.
The image preview shows up in a tooltip-like box appearing alongside the user’s cursor when hovering over a link. The plugin is entirely unobtrusive; it does not require any hooks to target specific links (no non-semantic classes); it will automatically detect the anchors that are linking to images and will only apply the preview effect to them.
Additionally, it allows for quite a high level of customisation with Callback functions as well. You can also specify a thumbnail prefix for images. So, it won’t take too long time to load larger images.

Peter Higgins has created Dojo Zoomer. It is divided into 3 panels. By hovering over the image on the left panel, right panel dynamically displays the cropped portion of the image, so that you can focus explicitly on the portion of the main image that interests you. You can see a list of thumbnails at the bottom panel which is enhanced with a paging/switching mechanism with dojo.fx and some onclick events as well.

We have published a post about Prototip a while ago. It was a lovely script that allows us to create simple and complex tooltips easily. Now Prototip 2 has just released with a lot of new features and it looks truly stunning. It is easy to customize. You have complete control over tooltip positions. You can also have rounded corners, speech bubble effect, special close button and custom style for the tooltip easily.
However, Prototip 2 is not free… A small fee is required for non-commercial use. The script can be used on a Single Domain for $3 and unlimited use for $15. I know it is sad that Prototip 2 is not free for us, however you can get this amazing script for as low as $3 is really worthwhile.

Easiest Tooltip and Image Preview is one of those tooltip-like bubble popups that appears when you roll over link or a thumbnail. What this script does is adds an element to the body when you roll over a certain object. That element’s appearance is predefined with css (positioned absolute and styled) so all we need to do is fill the element with content, calculate mouse position and make it move accordingly. When cursor is moved over he object, element moves with it and when cursor roll out, the element is deleted. Easiest Tooltip and Image Preview is powered by jQuery.

Coda is one of the new web development tools for the Mac – and it’s popular amongst designers and developers. Panic (the developers of Coda) are also known for their sharp design. Now, we can have a fancy popup bubble tooltips with jQuery. Remy Sharp from jQueryforDesigners has showed us how to re-create their ‘puff’ popup bubble shown when you mouse over the download image. In essence the effect is just a simple combination of effect.
This effect could be perfected by changing the initial reset (popup.css()) code to read from the trigger element and approximate it’s position. In the example, jQueryforDesigners has hardcoded it because he only has one on the page – but you may want to use this effect several times across your page.
