Dynamic HTML ToolTip that loads OnHover/OnMouseOver

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 =)

Dydfunctional behavior of the control HoverMeuExtender

Hi

With the ajax control HoverMenuExtender
i have a problem.

After have launch the page in Internet Explorer
with the onmouseover event on the linkbutton (as opportunely setted)
appears the popup.

The dydfunctional behavior is that
justlaunch the page,
little moments after than it opens the tab,
all the popups relative at the controls HoverMeuExtender
they open for some moments and then they close.
The effect isunpleasant.

Happen at you too?

Here are some sample codes about ajax:HoverMenuExtender for your reference.
<div>
<ul>
<li>
<asp:LinkButton runat="server" id="lnkParent" text="Parent Menu Item"/>
</li>
<asp:panel runat="server" id="pnlChild">
<ul>
<li>Child Item 1</li>
<li>Child Item 2</li>
</ul>
</asp:panel>
<ajax:HoverMenuExtender ID="hoverMenu"
PopupControlID="pnlChild"
TargetControlID="lnkParent"
PopupPosition="Bottom"
runat="server" />
</ul>
</div>
Wish the above can help you.
