Hi there,
Great bit of code that I can really see being useful on my current project.

A question for the people here — has anyone got this working once a regular list has been converted to a Data View Web Part in SPD?

I have found that the tooltips do not appear and that a “Stack overflow at line 30″ error is intermittently thrown.

Anyone else discovered a workaround for this?

Many thanks
Ben

Hello Paul, hello all,
run into the same problem like Mark C. does. Repetetive hovering over the same list element decreases the number of shown informations, ends up in an empty box.

Refresh of webpage (F5) fix this for the next view, then again rows are reduced.

I am only interested to display one row, so I can get the informations about attachments (mainly name/title of attachment). This is the last row in my view.

So iI would aks for two tipps, if possible:

a) Can you show me how I can only address the Attachment part of my list?
b) Or can can show me to touch only some elements out of the list (remove all, add #1,#5,#x)?

Finally: Thanks for the script as is, I always have learned from this (and sometimes I understand more of the code behind as with this example)

Thanks a lot for your work!

Kind regards
Michael

Hi, love the solution but am struggling with one problem.

If I hover over my loadtip url at the top of the page it appears as it should at the top of the page but the further down the page I go it starts to appear next to my mouse icon where as I need it to start at the top of the page. Is there a way to control this behaviour?

Is it possible to point the tip to come up on a “name” not “title?

Hi AutoSponge,

Thanks for providing this useful script.

I’m attempting to use it to display the attached items on a list item and I’m getting some odd behaviour. When I define parameters to remove rows from the DispForm like SteveC in a previous post ( “tr:eq(0),tr:eq(2)”) the first time the LoadTip is displayed correctly. If I then close the tip and hover over the link again the LoadTip displays incorrectly.
(IE the list has five columns and I am displaying column2, column4, and column5 in the LoadTip, on the second display of LoadTip only column4 is displayed, after that nothing is displayed).

Is there a better way to define the selectors of removed rows from the target page?

Cheers,
Marc S

1st of all thank you for this script.

I have a problem with this one, I have document library with folder, it works perfectly when you put a file at the root folder of the document library but if you put the file in another level the script doesn’t work…
There’s a solution with that ?

Thank you very much.

Thanks for your reply, I’ve managed to solve the problem. It was a combination of issues, illegal characters in the URL string combined with the fact that overriding the target attribute using the function paramater doesn’t work, because a link is always issued a value in your if clause, no matter what the value sent in was or what the default target was.

Anyway, keep up your good work.

@Gus,

In the bind function (line 117), target is selected from the DOM based on the target type (SharePoint puts the link in different places). You want this to be dynamic so it gets the right ID value. The target option you can pass is an override, it will not pick the link up dynamically but always use the hardcoded override (think static page).

You probably just need to change links option to a[href*='DispForm2.aspx'] and if you customized that form, you’ll need to change the selector as well (targets the area of the page to be previewed).

Hi, I originally asked this question in the wrong post so I’ll reiterate here. We’re using the above script but need to set its target to a different support file, lets say DispForm2.aspx. Changing or hardcoding the target doesnt appear to be working, it still fetches the value of the old DispForm file. I’ve checked the target attribute in the fire_preview function and it does point to the new file we specified, however it doesnt work.

Any clue as to why? I did take your suggestion in your reply, but it did not work sadly.
