Is there a way to create info bubbles in wicket. I would imagine for instance a ? as a small round image and when hovered-over, it would pop out a bubble with some text/images/stuff in it. A bit like a ModalWindow actually but which would be shown and hidden by hovering on a question mark and which would appear nearby the question mark. Is there a known component to do that or do I have to create my own modal window which is reacting to hovering states ?

  • If you end up rolling your own (as Visural's doesn't work with IE out of the box), I recommend qTip2. Rolled my own with that and am quite pleased with the results. – jbrookover Jun 24 '11 at 17:37
  • Why would it need to be a modal window? Can it not be just a `
    ` with absolute positioning?

I am a happy user of jQuery and for tooltips (that may contain any HTML content) I use jQuery Tools : http://flowplayer.org/tools/tooltip/index.html

You can wrap the jQuery in a component with a header contributer, together with and the (html?) tooltip and the question mark.

  • Thanks for the tip, it's looks nice ! Have you tested it on IE ? As jbrookover suggested that it doesnt work on it ... – Sephy Jun 27 '11 at 08:45
  • No i havent, i dont have ie on my OS but if you have just locate to the demo site and try it if does not. However, that sound very unlikely to me. – fmucar Jun 27 '11 at 10:19
