jQuery.popover

Hi!

I’ve been busy with many things, of which one is school, but also some other projects, so excuse my absence in writing here.

Recently, I’ve accepted an offer to build a small web application, of which I won’t go into detail. In any case, it needs to look good: professional, clean and have plenty of AJAX drag-and-drop, fancy confirmation boxes and whatnot. While building the application, I needed something comparable to the iPad’s “popovers”, as they’re called. You probably know what they look like. If not, look just above.

I did not come across a jQuery plugin that perfectly fit my needs, so I decided to write my own jQuery plugin. Funnily enough, it’s called jQuery.popover and it allow for easy popover creating and manipulation. It’s completely style-able with css, and I’ve provided an example stylesheet which should get you up and running.

One thing it doesn’t do at the moment is reposition itself, i.e. when you resize the page, it does not yet follow the element it was linked to. However, as I need this plugin for a project myself, it won’t take long for me to go integrate it. Implemented in v1.0.4

The plugin’s hosted on github at the following url: https://github.com/klaas4/jQuery.popover. Please check it out and fork it if you wish. You can directly download a zip-file with this link.

This plugin is released under the MIT License. You can find a demo and the documentation here. Let me know what you think by commenting below!
