FancyTooltips expand beyond window width

    I’ve got a minor issue with FancyTooltips that has been bugging me.

    When I have a post with a long title or URL, the FancyTooltip bubble expands to encompass the entire title/url. This is a good thing, but because my list of Recent Posts is near the right side of the screen, the bubble often expands past the browser width. The result is a flicker where scrollbars suddenly appear so the user could look at the entire bubble if they wanted.

    Is there some way to change the FancyTooltip bubbles so they will not expand that far? Maybe just get it to align differently or something?

    You can see an example of the issue on my site if the post description doesn’t make sense.

  • You can try css settings in fancytooltips.css – that would be the place to start….

    And do what in the CSS settings though?

    Seeing as how the Java script file actually controls how the bubbles pop-up, I would think this would be more of a Java issue than a CSS issue.

    I edited the JS of the file and modified the url length.

    Look for if(!nStringMaxLength){ nStringMaxLength = 80; } in the code and change the length to your liking.

    Ahh, great. I’ll try that out right now. Thanks Cypher

    Alright, modifying that bit of code fixes the length issue. If I keep it too long(say, 40+ characters) then it still is a bit too large and expands the browser window though.

    But I can live with setting it lower. I don’t forsee any need or reason for it to be 80 characters anyways. This little workaround fixes the problem easily, so I’m happy.

    Thanks again, Cypher
