Hi Thomas, just checking to see if you have had time to look into the issue I mentioned above?

Hi Brian,

I checked your page gp.me3design.com regarding this tooltip problem.

Actually there are two issues:

First, it was not possible to meassure the content hight, as your tooltip content contains textnodes with break-tags. I fixed this with a workaround for now.

Second, the scrollbar-plugin must be called after the tooltip is shown. For this, I did a little proof of concept and put it on heroku ( http://gp-scroll.heroku.com - just temporarily, I will remove it later). See also some comments in the gist https://gist.github.com/902680 . Currently I'm not sure if it is really necessary. I'll keep investigating it.

I hope this helps for now.

Thanks for pointing to these bugs.

Regards,
Thomas

Hi Brian,

I just noticed that there is a bug in the scroll-plugin causing increasing nested elements within the tooltip. I'm going to fix this...

Hi Thomas,

Thanks a lot for looking into this issue. Looks like it's very close to being fixed. All in all it's working now thanks to all your mods, but the bug causing the increasing nested divs is an issue. Let me know when you get around to addressing it...

Best, Brian

Hi Thomas,

I really appreciate that you took the time to look into this issue. I got it wired up on the dev site: http://gp.me3design.com and it does work, but I'm concerned that every time the tooltip is called another hidden nested div is created to measure the contentHeight. I can see in the js that you have an alternative clone method that may or may not work. I did try un-commenting the clone method but it breaks the layout and doesn't work as written.

Would it be possible to add a contentHeight 'auto' or 'number' to the options to set content height explicitly? That way one could hard code the height and eliminate the calculations required to find the height. More of an issue in hidden elements.

I wish I new more about javascript so I could offer some legitimate help. Thanks again for looking at it.

Best, Brian

Hi Thomas,

Have you had time to look into the nested div issue?

Hi, sorry for my late response.
The nested div issue should be fixed. Could you please test?

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for all your work on this js. I have uploaded the new code on the dev site and the issue is fixed. Woohoo!
