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.

dojo.require("dijit.form.DropDownButton");
dojo.require("dijit.TooltipDialog");
dojo.require("dijit.form.TextBox");
dojo.require("dijit.form.Button");

dojo.ready(function(){
    var dialog = new dijit.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 button = new dijit.form.DropDownButton({
        label: "show tooltip dialog",
        dropDown: dialog
    });
    dojo.byId("dropdownButtonContainer").appendChild(button.domNode);
});

<div id="dropdownButtonContainer"></div>

A TooltipDialog may be popped up from any node.

dojo.require("dijit.TooltipDialog");

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

    dojo.connect(dojo.byId('thenode'), 'onmouseenter', function(){
        dijit.popup.open({
            popup: myTooltipDialog,
            around: dojo.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:

dojo.require("dijit.form.DropDownButton");
dojo.require("dijit.TooltipDialog");
dojo.require("dijit.form.TextBox");
dojo.require("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>
