dijit/TooltipDialog — The Dojo Toolkit

Authors:	Bill Keese, Nikolai Onken, Marcus Reimann
since:	V0.9

Introduction ¶

The dijit/TooltipDialog displays a tooltip that contains form elements (like a dialog).

Although both Dialog and TooltipDialog are modal, TooltipDialog can be closed by clicking anywhere on the screen, whereas for Dialog you must click on the [x] mark of the Dialog.

A TooltipDialog can only be opened as a drop down from another widget, usually dijit/form/DropDownButton.

Examples ¶

Programmatic example¶

The first example shows how to create a TooltipDialog and DropDownButton programmatically.

require(["dojo/ready", "dijit/TooltipDialog", "dijit/form/TextBox", "dijit/form/Button", "dijit/form/DropDownButton", "dojo/dom"], function(ready, TooltipDialog, TextBox, Button, DropDownButton, dom){
    ready(function(){
        var myDialog = new TooltipDialog({
            content:
                '<label for="name">Name:</label> <input data-dojo-type="dijit/form/TextBox" id="name" name="name"><br>' +
                '<label for="hobby">Hobby:</label> <input data-dojo-type="dijit/form/TextBox" id="hobby" name="hobby"><br>' +
                '<button data-dojo-type="dijit/form/Button" type="submit">Save</button>'
        });

        var myButton = new DropDownButton({
            label: "show tooltip dialog",
            dropDown: myDialog
        });
        dom.byId("dropDownButtonContainer").appendChild(myButton.domNode);
    });
});

<div id="dropDownButtonContainer"></div>

A TooltipDialog may be popped up from any node.

require(["dojo/ready", "dijit/TooltipDialog", "dijit/popup", "dojo/on", "dojo/dom"], function(ready, TooltipDialog, popup, on, dom){
    ready(function(){
        var myTooltipDialog = new TooltipDialog({
            id: 'myTooltipDialog',
            style: "width: 300px;",
            content: "<p>I have a mouse leave event handler that will close the dialog.",
            onMouseLeave: function(){
                popup.close(myTooltipDialog);
            }
        });

        on(dojo.byId('thenode'), 'mouseover', function(){
            popup.open({
                popup: myTooltipDialog,
                around: dom.byId('thenode')
            });
        });
    });
});

<div id="thenode">Move the mouse over me to pop up the dialog.</div>

Declarative markup¶

As usual you can create the TooltipDialog and DropDown button widget declaratively using the data-dojo-type attribute. When created declaratively the DropDownButton node has two children, one for the label of the button, and the other for the drop-down widget that’s displayed when you press the button.

Here’s one displaying a TooltipDialog:

require(["dojo/parser", "dijit/TooltipDialog", "dijit/form/DropDownButton", "dijit/form/TextBox", "dijit/form/Button"]);

<div data-dojo-type="dijit/form/DropDownButton">
    <span>Register</span>
    <div data-dojo-type="dijit/TooltipDialog">
        <label for="name2">Name:</label> <input data-dojo-type="dijit/form/TextBox" id="name2" name="name2" /><br />
        <label for="hobby2">Hobby:</label> <input data-dojo-type="dijit/form/TextBox" id="hobby2" name="hobby2" /><br />
        <button data-dojo-type="dijit/form/Button" type="submit">Save</button>
    </div>
</div>
