tooltip problem, migrationfrom RF3 to RF4.

[liuliu]

hi,

I am migrating a project RF3 to RF4. we have a tooltip in a data table who is in a rich:tab. In RF3, use attached=false on tooltip, we can reduce the html code generated by JSF/RF. but in RF4,

If a tooltip is defined outside the target element, it must be nested in an <h:form> component. And we need wrap the tab in a h:form too, so i have a nested form.

how can i do the same thing in RF4?

thanks in advance.

Where did you read about this requirement?  Can you post some code describing what you mean?

hi,

I did some more test. it looks like the attached="false" does not work.

here is a test code :

<a4j:outputPanel id="first" style="height:600px" layout="block">
        <rich:panel id="panelId1" onclick="#{rich:component('toolTipId')}.show(event);" onmouseout="#{rich:component('toolTipId')}.hide();"/>
        <a4j:outputPanel id="holder">
            <rich:tooltip id="toolTipId" attached="false" followMouse="true">
                This is a tool-tip.
            </rich:tooltip>
        </a4j:outputPanel>
</a4j:outputPanel>

i can wrap the tooltip in a outpoutpanel holder, without this outputpanel, the tooltip is shown when the mouse enter in the outputpanel first.

with this outputpanel, it works noramly, but the followMouse does not work.

Your rich:panel component is empty.  How do you expect it to have physical space where you can click or mouse in/out from?

[liuliu]

empty rich:panel has a physical space due to the padding of his default css.

Can you post a simple project (preferably maven-based) I can use to try this out?
