Hi hcohen,
If you take a look at the sourcecode for the page, you can see the JavaScript/jQuery that actually controls this:
;(function($) { $(document).ready(function() { var counter=0; var renderedCssClass = "lia-panel-tooltip-tr-bl"; var fetchedElements = {}; $('h2.message-subject').each(function () { var item = $(this); var msgItem = item.parents('tr.lia-list-row'); var href = msgItem.attr('class'); var UidIndex = href.indexOf("lia-js-data-messageUid-"); if(UidIndex != -1) { UidIndex = UidIndex + 23; var msgId = href.slice(UidIndex, href.indexOf(" ", UidIndex)); } else { var msgId = "None"; } var tipWidth = 250; var itemWidthOffset = item.offset().right; var position = 'top right'; if ((itemWidthOffset + tipWidth) > $(window).width()){ position = 'top left'; } if (msgId!="null"){ var elementId = "lia_custom-tooltip1_" + counter + "_" + msgId; $("#lia-panel-tooltip").append("<div id='" + elementId + "' style='hidden'></div>"); $.ajax({ url: "${community.urls.communityPrefix}/restapi/vc/?restapi.response_template=message_infobox&msg_id=" + msgId, success: function(data) { $("#" + elementId).append(data); $("#" + elementId).hide(); } }); if (!$("#" + elementId).hasClass(renderedCssClass)) { $("#" + elementId).addClass(renderedCssClass); } var tooltipObj = item.tooltip({ tip: "#" + elementId, position: position, onBeforeShow: function() { $("#" + elementId).show(); } }); } counter++; }); }); })(LITHIUM.jQuery);
Basically, for each message subject on the page, it's performing a few actions:
- Determine the message id associated with the subject.
- Set up a tooltip for the subject
- Make an ajax call to a custom endpoint to get the tooltip contents
- Update the tooltip with the contents
- Create the actual tooltip object
The tooltip is using jQuery Tools Tooltip (http://jquerytools.org/demos/tooltip/index.html). So when a user hovers over the subject, the tooltip is shown rendering the content pulled in via the ajax call.
Hopefully this will help get you started in the right direction!

- Adam, is that how you all are doing it here in the Lithosphere? I'm noticing that it's in all of the (Li) forums that I've visited.

Hi Becky,
Indeed, the code above was taken directly from here on the Lithosphere. A few of our customers have implemented similar customizations, and their exact code may differ slightly depending on their needs.
Regards,
Adam
