Extension talk:Balloons

Documentation
This extension works quite nicely sometimes, but not always in accordance with the documentation, at least not on my wiki.


 * 1) The style parameter controls the text in the browser panel, not in the balloon as the documentation suggests.
 * 2) Some but not all CSS styles seem to work.
 * 3) Wiki tags (some at least) will work if the title=MyElement +   system is used. This allows placing regular wiki image tags in the balloon, and even DPL lists.
 * 4) The width parameter doesn't seem to work at all.

Perhaps I haven't understood the documentation, or there is something wrong with my installation. I've tested the balloon extension on Firefox and Google Chrome.

Thanks for this useful extension.

 * 2) examples?
 * 3) Good to know!
 * 4) This was a bug -- it is fixed in version 0.3

-- I'm sorry it did not work for you and I'd like to help but you need to provide some details like error messages, etc. Contact information would also be helpful. Almost all failure reports turn out to be the result of typos and not following the documention, so code samples and implementation details are helpful in diagnosing the problem.

Balloons in Demo Show Error
Hi, in your demo an error shows up during the second iteration of mousing over the hyperlinked text and images. The error message displays line invalid argument on line 342 character 16. Has this been fixed?

Thanks.
