Full Discussion: Tool Tip on a Perl CGI script
Top Forums Web Development Tool Tip on a Perl CGI script Post 302218069 by cbkihong on Thursday 24th of July 2008 09:39:03 AM

Depends how you would like to get the tool tips to appear, and on what kinds of elements. There are mostly two ways I can think of: plain HTML or Javascript/DHTML.

For instance, on many HTML elements you can use the 'title' tag attribute and many browsers will render its value as a tool tip. However, in the past I have used this on image and anchor. Not tried on other elements.

Otherwise, some people may use some Javascript/DHTML that dynamically creates a floating object containing the text at the given mouse location (as captured by the onmouseover event listener). However, this requires the browser with Javascript enabled and the script may be browser-dependent (to some extent). The javascript library listed is an example.

This does not have much to do with Perl, so it is not at all surprising that you are unable to dig anything up in the Perl docs.

DESCRIPTION

       Simple DHTML renderer for Data::TreeDumper.

       Thanks to Stevan Little author of Tree::Simple::View for giving me the idea and providing some code I could snatch.

EXAMPLE

       Check dhtml_test.pl for a complete example of two  structure dumps within the same HTML file.

OPTIONS

   Style
       CSS style is dumped to $setup->{RENDERER}{STYLE} (a ref to a scalar) if it exists. This allows you to collect all the CSS then output it at
       the top of the HTML code.

	 my $style ;
	 my $body = DumpTree
		       (
		       ...

		       RENDERER =>
			       {
			       NAME => 'DHTML',
			       STYLE => $style,
			       },
		       ) ;

       {RENDERER}{NO_STYLE} removes style section generation. This is usefull when you defined your styles by hand.

	 my $style ;
	 my $body = DumpTree
		       (
		       ...

		       RENDERER =>
			       {
			       NAME => 'DHTML',
			       NO_STYLE => 1,
			       },
		       ) ;

   Class
       The output will use class 'data_tree_dumper_dhtml' for <li> and <ul>. The class can be renamed with the help of {RENDERER}{CLASS}. This
       allows you to dump multiple data structures and display them with a diffrent styles.

	 my $style ;
	 my $body = DumpTree
		       (
		       ...

		       RENDERER =>
			       {
			       NAME => 'DHTML',
			       CLASS => 'my_class_name',
			       },
		       ) ;

   Glyphs
       Data::TreeDumper outputs the tree lines as ASCII text by default. If {RENDERER}{NO_GLYPH} and RENDERER}{NO_STYLE} are defined, no lines are
       output and the indentation will be the default <li> style. If you would like to specify a specific style for your tree dump, defined you
       own CSS and set the appropriate class through {RENDERER}{CLASS}.

   Expand/Collapse
       Setting {RENDERER}{COLLAPSED} to a true value will display the tree collapsed. this is false by default.

	 $setup->{RENDERER}{COLLAPSED}++ ;

       If {RENDERER}{BUTTON}{COLLAPSE_EXPAND} is set, the rendered will add a button to allow the user to collapse and expand the tree.

	 $setup->{RENDERER}{BUTTON}{COLLAPSE_EXPAND}

   Search
       If {RENDERER}{BUTTON}{SEARCH} is set, the rendered will add a button to allow the user to search the tree. This is a primitive search and
       has no other value than for test.

Bugs
       I'll hapilly hand this module over to someone who knows what he does :-)
