I have a component of my site that is jQuery. I would like to use like a tool tip to walk the end user through the process of navigating this component. I have tried to modify the qtip plugin to do this. A link will be clicked that will bring up the 1st tooltip which will contain a link taking the user to the next tool tip. I was able to find a modal window, that allows me to do this, however I was unable to figure out how to have the window pop up in a specific place like the tool tip. I was also unable to close the previous window when the next one opened.
Update:
Found the solution. http://craigsworks.com/projects/qtip2/tutorials/advanced/#stepbystep The answer was burried the whole time! :)

I have unfortunately stumbled on the issue where, on iPad, a pop-up menu summoned by way of :hover does not disappear from the screen when the user touches an empty area of the page.
The problem is the same described here:
Hover Behavior on Desktop vs iPad
The menu is part of a template I bought, namely:
http://html.realia.byaviators.com/
But... wait a minute... it WORKS on the template's home page? And only on that page -- it doesn't work on any other page of that same template.
I was able to track the behavior down to the point where I found that the reason why it works is the following: initializing a Google map makes the menu behave properly. Just the simplest of maps, with the default options.
Now my question to the experts is: what is that Google does in the map initialization code in order to fix the :hover behavior?
Thank you very much in advance for your help!
Well, can't tell what is that Google does, however the solution is documented in mobile Safari developer's reference.
For a click event to be generated on an area of the document, there must be a click handler attached. For example, clicking on a div will generate a click event only if an onclick="void(0)" handle is presente:

I'm kinda new to rails so forgive if this is a stupid question.
The scenario is:
I got my events controller with a index view that shows all events on the page. Now, what i want to achieve is: User clicks on one of the events, lightbox comes up showing all info about about that one event, with all the other events still behind the dark background of the lightbox. User closes the light box and process repeats. Pinterest is a good example of what i'm trying to do.
At the moment, i got these 2 views working properly. User clicks on the event and is taken to the show action.
So i'm wondering if what i'm trying to do is RESTfully achievable(without too much hacking around) in rails(3.2.8) and if so, would appreciate some insight as to where i should start from.
Thanks a lot.
As far as I understand what you want to achieve, it has nothing to do with actually rendering 2 views at the same time. What you're describing is simply making an ajax call with lightbox that opens up an URL that renders another view in the shown DIV or IFRAME (whatever lightbox uses)...
Depending on which version of Rails you use the implementation of this looks a bit different. But actually what you have to do is simply include LightBox2 in your Rails app, by simply adding the appropriate JS and CSS files and then supply the necessary class at your link_to calls...
Hope it's clear what I mean.

I am trying to create tabs at the bottom of the screen, which has to be there through out the application and a list needs to be displayed above. Please help...
Go to this below link:
Advanced UI Components
Here you can get one zip file. In that see the UIExamplePillButtonScreen and understand it. If you want the tabs for all screens then
Write the code in one class(Ex: TabPannel.java) which extends Field and add this to any screen like:
setStatus(new TabPannel());

Enough.
I want the edit action of a specific controller to be handled in a window that floats above the main application window (not a new browser window). I can't find anything online that provides info on this, how does one go about doing this. I hope floating window is the correct term for this.
you'll have to use javascript as it's a client side user interface issue that you're dealing with. try jQuery with plugins like ThickBox to help you load the form onto a modal windows through a floating div
and personally i felt loading the form page in an iframe in the floating div will be an easy solution to what you are trying to achieve
hope this helps =)
I am using the new BrowserField2 in BlackBerry OS5 to display HTML content in my app. There are 3 options available for navigation through links in that content.
CURSOR navigation uses a block cursor and actually moves through the characters of the page. Not very useful for me.
POINTER navigation uses a mouse like pointer that you move around the screen and hover over elements. This could work but there is a bug however in that the browser field captures navigation and never lets go so this mode is effectively broken if you share a screen with any other managers. Once your focus enters the browser field you cannot move focus back out and into neighboring fields. RIM has acknowledged the bug but has no work around.
NONE which is for custom navigation but they offer no explanation as to how you would do this.
What I ideally want is to simply have trackpad movements move the focus through the links and highlight them. Then a click would activate the link. I assume I would select the NONE option above and implement my own focus navigation but I am not clear how this can be accomplished with the new APIs.
Is anyone familiar with the new browser2 component could give some guidance?
Thanks!
There's a workaroudn to getting back the focus out of the BrowserField using the NAVIGATION_POINTER.
I found it in this thread:

"farahh" posted this:
I found out a hack..
with the navigation set to pointer mode, a click outside the browserfield manager invokes Manager.invokeAction(int). I used the getFieldWithFocus to verify which field has focus and then switch the focus to something else.
Cheers.

PD: i havent found out how to get the behaviour you want, i need that as well so if you got it working please let me know, its kinda urgent in my project =(
I actually reverted back to the older browser1 (OS4) component because the navigation problems in browserField2 (OS5) were a deal breaker for me. Luckily the OS4 browser does everything I need in terms of functionality and it has the exact navigation behavior I need and there are no focus problems mixing it with other views.
