@cssprodigy – sorry…it’s only been a month since your comment :p

i updated the demo to handle an “AJAX::Url.html” (note the double colons instead of single). http://www.uhleeka.com/archives/mootools/1.2.1/tips-convert-v11/

it works as a really simple tip, but the built-in functionality of the Tips object is very limited compared to the 1.1 library. For example, you cannot put a link in your tip because you cannot mouseover the tip (it hides on mouseout of your element). Another example, when you set the “fixed” option to true, the tip is fixed to the top left corner of the calling element.

So, if you are looking for anything more advanced than what I have posted, you will probably want to find some sort of external library to do what you need.

Thanks!

Great script. I’ve been looking around for MooTisp for MooTools 1.2
I found this other one: http://www.e-magine.ro/playground/tipsx3/
Is it possible to use/add this functionality to the current script you have?
Thanks. =)

Managed to get the old script working with mootools 1.2
I’m not a js coder so there will probably be a few wrinkles here and there but it does seem to work :)

Wow, just wanted to say thanks for putting you free time into this. This definitely makes things a lot more clearer. It’s almost exactly what I want I’m only missing the old ajax functionality with: title=”AJAX:lipsum.htm” class=”toolTipImgAJAX”

But I’m going to try and figure that out myself. You’ve already done the hardest part :) thanks again.

I am implementing them the same way as in the demosite of (1.1). But if I use mootools 1.2 I get several errors shown by firebug. I have tried this: http://www.mooforum.net/solutions12/converting-mootools-mootools-t259.html but I’m probably doing things wrong.

There are just a couple changes you’d have to make, depending on the complexity of your 1.1 MooTips implementation.

Do you have a specific example or sourcecode in mind?

Hello

I was wondering if you could help me port the original mootips (mootools 1.11 : http://www.uhleeka.com/archives/mootools/1.1/mootips/ ) to be used with mootools 1.2

I am familiar with code in general, but not with javascript or mootools;
so I wouldn’t have any idea where to start.

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
