Greetings All,

Regarding the post by Guido on Nov 23, 2006 about adding a zIndex property to deal with ensuring topmost order, it helped me immensely. I use a java menu within the content of my page to help users navigate all the content, and the HelpBalloon worked great in IE, but in FF and Chrome the HelpBalloon was hidden behind the screens java menu. The menu was “QuickMenu” by OpenCube.

So using the prior post I modified HelpBalloon.js with the following, and now HelpBalloon lays nicely ON TOP of any existing java elements:

_draw: function()
{
Element.setStyle(
this.container,
Object.extend(this.options.balloonStyle, {
‘position’: ‘absolute’,
‘display’: ‘none’,
‘zIndex’: 300
})
);

Hi Beau - just added some functionality to the Ajax Stars script so that you can select half-stars. Did it really quickly so I’m sure it could be optimised further, but if you’re interested in seeing the code send me an email and I’ll flick it through.

Hello,

I am using version 2 of the help balloons. One of the behaviors I would like is for the help balloon to stay up whenever the cursor is over the anchoring icon, as well as over the help balloon. I’ve set an autoTimeOut, and that is working well when the cursor is in the balloon. But the time out is not being re-queued when it is over the anchoring icon, but not in the balloon. Some of our users are confused by this behavior.

Anything you can suggest to help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I too would like to include this in some work I’m doing for the Fedora Project but I need to know what License it is released under. Any idea when we’ll have that?

I really need to get on the ball and add licenses to each of the widgets. I’m probably going to use LGPL for the most part, unless there’s some major reason anyone would need MIT instead.

Beau,
Love the stuff you’ve got here - I need to use atleast 2 ‘widgets’ in a commercial project. What’s your license?

I too am inquiring about licensing. I would like to use the help balloons in a commercial website. What do I need to know regarding the copyright etc.
