Hover Detail style popups

I'm just thinking this one out loud right now.

I was wondering if on my Visual Force page that I have created with custom objects and my desired custom layout. A Hover Detail style interface much like what salesforce uses in the sidebar for recent items when 'hover detail is enabled'.

Any points in the right direction would also be very much appreciated.

So basically I have a visual force page with all of my PageBlockTables... listing information I want in the layout that I'd like... now on some of those records I'd like to hover over the 'name' or the 'id' and trigger a "hover detail" style popup that will show some extra details that I can also choose to view / edit


Any thoughts?

I think you can just copy the code in our hovers and then in your page generate this with apex tags or html or javascript.

This is something I would be interested in learning as well but right now I'm working on another big project and don't have the time to go experimenting. So patske, if you figure this one out please report back.

I pasted this in a VF page and it sort of worked but the hover showed up over the sidebar and not the link itself. The Ids could probably be pulled from a getter method in a controller.

Code:
<div class="leadBlock" onblur="MRUHoverDetail.getHover('00QS00000015RXb').hide();" onfocus="MRUHoverDetail.getHover('00QS00000015RXb').show();" onmouseout="MRUHoverDetail.getHover('00QS00000015RXb').hide();" onmouseover="MRUHoverDetail.getHover('00QS00000015RXb').show();"><div class="mruItem" id="mru00QS00000015RXb"><a href="/00QS00000015RXb" class="leadMru" accesskey="1" title="[Alt+1]"><img src="/s.gif" alt="Lead"  class="mruIcon" title="Lead"/><span  class="mruText">Tom Johnson</span></a></div></div>
 
Thanks,
Jason

Thanks for the help guys.

I ended up just using this code from the hoverover details on page layouts.

Code:
        <apex:column headerValue="Name"><div id="HoverDetail"><a href="/a0ST00000007eD7" id="lookupa0ST00000007eD7" onblur="LookupHoverDetail.getHover('lookupa0ST00000007eD7').hide();" onfocus="LookupHoverDetail.getHover('lookupa0ST00000007eD7', '/a0ST00000007eD7/m—retURL=%2Fa0ST00000007eD7&isAjaxRequest=1').show();" onmouseout="LookupHoverDetail.getHover('lookupa0ST00000007eD7').hide();" onmouseover="LookupHoverDetail.getHover('lookupa0ST00000007eD7', '/a0ST00000007eD7/m–retURL=%2Fa0ST00000007eD7&isAjaxRequest=1').show();">Object Name</a></div></apex:column>

 
And made a minipage-layout on my custom object. It served my purpose.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction TechNrd.... I saw that your code did popup the hover detail on the sidebar... not sure why that is but I found the other type of hover details that uses the little speech bubble instead of a highlighted bar, it does the trick.

Hi Pat,

 

I am facing a similar kind of requirement where i have to Display a list of Records let say Opportunities related to Account when i hover on the Event Object Related to field related to Account.

 

Assume Event detail page is overridden with the VF where some fields including "Related To" field is included ,so i mean if Event is related to Account,when i hover on the the related to hyperlink instead of Account Details i should get the list of Opportunities associated with that account and when i mouseout it should go off.

 

Could you please guide me on this.

 

Thanks...:)
