right now i have a web app that has a repeater (rather large) with a literal for one of the columns. this literal is a number based on the amount of entries and on load has javascript added to it that displays row specific information built from a database when you hover over it. the problem is that every time the page loads, every tooltip is loaded. i want to only go to the DB and get this info when they hover over that literal. so onmouseover of this literal would trigger an event that builds the tooltip and displays it as before.
i've searched this forum (which by the way isn't efficient) along with some good old Google hunting with no luck. can anyone point me in the right direction? oh yeah, i also would prefer not to use some random 3rd party tool. =)
This is fairly easy. Follow this tutorial:http://ajax.asp.net/docs/tutorials/ConsumingWebServicesWithAJAXTutorial.aspx except that in the 'OnComplete' javascript function that fires when the web service returns, have it fill whatever container you're currently using to display the tooltip (mostly this ends up being the title attribute of one element or another).
I'll check it out and see how it goes. Thanks for the reply =)
