[hobbit] tooltips

[Gore, David W (David)]

In regards to the hobbit snapshot:
 
They say a picture is worth a thousand words.  If the list server allows
it, I have attached an image of my bb2.html page.  bb2 is our primary
view and, as you can see from the image, tooltips pushes all the hobbit
columns out of the view to the right.  
 
Tooltips are the text you see when you hover over items like the
smiley's in hobbit?  I suppose it has always worked well for the little
smiley gif icons, just not so well for the bb2 host links where it seems
to add the tooltip to the hostname rather than create floating text.

	Re: the tooltips issue:

	 

	Isn't it useful to make this an option whether they should be
displayed on the bb2 page or not?

	 

	I really like the tooltips but I agree with David that they will
clutter your bb2 page so that this page is not longer usable...

	I am running 4.2.0 with the allinone patch.  I do have a
suspicion that external server side scripts could contribute to the
stale alerts.  In my case, specifically a script that ssh's to a remote
host and executes a shell script on the remote host.  It may also happen
in conjunction with these errors in the logs, which someone else
recently reported:

	 

	page.log.1:2007-11-05 16:20:53 hobbitd_alert: Got message 14425,
expected 14424

	As soon as the issue with tooltips is resolved, I will be moving
our primary hobbit to the snapshot release.

	 

	
	The snapshot, seems much
	better, but with tooltips and host descriptions pushing our
display to
	the far right of the screen we cannot use it right now.
