Grid and mouseover/tooltips

[Warren Block]

With some fields truncated in a grid, it would be nice to show the full
value in a tooltip when the mouse is over it. Offhand, I think that
will take a calculated field. Is there an example anywhere? For that
matter, examples of general examples of grid use would be really nice.

Thanks!

alter the represent of the fields in the controller running the grid: it's the right tool for the job

e.g.

db.table.field.represent = lambda value, row : DIV("%s ..." % value[10], _title=value)

[Massimo Di Pierro]

You can use represent

db.table.field.represent = lambda value, row: SPAN(value[:10],DIV(value,_class='tooltip'))

and than JS

jQuery(function(){

   jQuery('.tootip').each(function(){

      var t = jQuery(this); 

      t.hide().css('position','relative').css('z-index','200');

      t.parent.mouseover(function() {t.fadeIn();}); 

      t.parent.mouseout(function() {t.fadeOut();});      

   });

});

Mind I did not try it.
