Insert line breaks into a long string to fit a length : Minimizing the risk of cutting a word unexpectedly

jQuery Ajax Tooltip


This is very much based on the Coda Popup Bubble example for jQuery that’s been going around with a few important differences:

  1. The information is requested via AJAX, so you don’t have to include all of this extra information in a hidden div. This keeps your markup smaller for grids with tons of names in it.
  2. When you mouse over another name, the previous one will disappear. If you tried this with the original Coda example, you’d end up with a weird streaking animation since there’s a delay before the div is hidden.
  3. Works in IE (just turned off the fade animation)
