Infobox

Infobox (A simple Javascript based tooltip)

Infobox-sample1 - Infobox-sample2 - Infobox-sample3(from wikitext and css)

• To ceate Bubblehelp infoboxes, as seen in knoppix.org.
  • The tips are Javascript based and processed on client side. The tips are created only when you hover your mouse over the text marked with tips. This recipe allows javascript to be directly inserted in wikipage. When used it posses same security risk similar to Jscm Recipe. For more details Read the README file carefully.
  • This package should be tested first in local or intranet before you are confident on how it works.

NOTE: Some of the potential uses of Infobox  Site wide or group wide tips can be set.  Page wise tips can be set.  Comprehensive glossary terms can be defined using this recipe. Thus, can be used where terms on pages needs additional explanations but the page design does not permit the explanation to be inserted there itself.  Infobox's can be used to explain terms in any other language. Thus helping in creating a multilanguage page.  Infotips page can be shared among users or easily copied on to a new/different website/page.  Multi-language infotips pages can be maintained by different users.  Link tips can be created using simple wiki text.

Notes and Comments

• More refinement could be done, i.e security wise.

  • I used the js file from knoppix.org. It is covered under GPL. I wrote a wrapper .php file to make it work under PmWiki.
  • Further refinement from others are welcomed.
