Javascript balloon-looking dialog - javascript

I have an HTML table. When the user clicks on some cell - I am displaying a JavaScript dialog (currently using jQuery), where user enters some information related to this cell.
So I am looking for framework, which would visually connect the dialog to the cell being edited.
Pretty much like balloon tooltip.
Anybody saw this? probably JQuery plugin?
Thanks
UPDATE: I am currently using qTip - it totally does what I wanted

Some years ago I used overLIB for this. You can style it to look like a standard tooltip - maybe this is what you are searching for.

Easy Way to Batch Edit in Angular UI Grid

Angular UI Grid currently allows for double-clicking on fields for editing, but you can only do this one at a time. Currently, I need a user to click on a button and then have all rows show the editable input fields. I was unable to find a solution online and am now posting a question here.
Anyone else have a current or easy hack for this before I have to start customizing the UI grid library (something I don't want to do yet)?
Thanks!
It is plausible to do this by providing a custom cellTemplate where that template is the editableTemplate, or quite a bit of the editable template. This would mean the edit widgets were shown at all times.
Having said this, the reason that ui-grid doesn't show all the widgets at once is performance. When you have a table you tend to render a lot of DOM elements, and slower devices cant' reasonably render and scroll that many DOM elements. You may also get issues with row virtualisation - you may end up with your editors pointing to the wrong elements in the data.
Is editOnFocus perhaps an option for you?
So what i did is, i used an ng-show directive on cell template to show and hide text box by setting an attribute on entity object of ngRow. By default edit will be false. when you press edit button its is made as true and the text box will appear.

styling the input box autocomplete

I was wondering if it's at all possible to style the autocomplete box that appears from input fields.
( I know This question is the same but that doesnt have a answer and since its a few months old i figured i made a new post about it)
That image is of my login screen with the autocomplete box being all square and bulky compared to my input field. If it's not possible to style the box i'll simply turn autocomplette off but if it's at all possible i would be very interested.
New screenshot:
Yeah you can't do that since it's browser based. Here's a great example in jQuery that uses autocomplete. I use it all the time for sites - super slick.
http://www.devbridge.com/sourcery/components/jquery-autocomplete/
You can't modify the browsers' native functionality. Your best option is to find a plugin that overrides the autocomplete drop-down functionality and modify the code and style to your liking. Please take a look at jQuery's autocomplete plugin. http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#custom-data

Using a forced suggestion mechanism using JavaScript and jQuery (ASP.NET MVC project)

Yesterday I discovered that jQuery is really powerful and can do amazing things with only a few (sometimes just one) line of code, amazing! I did some animating which went really well!
So I was wondering if the following is also possible/ simple to implement with jQuery (if not, please tell me what could do this):
Basically I want a suggestion mechanism for the webapplication we are creating. We are doing this using ASP.NET MVC 4. By suggestion mechanism I mean the user gets presented with a textfield, he can start typing and based on his typing topics (I have a model class Topic with a few properties) get suggested. The user can ONLY choose out of those topics, they can't define any by themself. So I would like to generate a list based on the input (with each key tap). If they click on an item, it gets added to the box and they can choose other topics if they would want to.
I do realize that this is probably rather difficult to implement, but it would be great if I could find a tutorial or example. Preferable with JavaScript or jQuery, but if that's not possible anything will do really!
If my explanation is not clear enough: I mean something similar to the StackOverflow suggestion mechanism for tags.
If you want suggestive text field, search for html5 datalist datalist
Also take a look at JqueryUI Auto Complete
However if the options are not too much, i would go with select menu instead of text field.

JQuery / Javascript popup box and form submission creation

I have a jquery/javascript question. For a site I am working on in PHP/JQuery I have the need to create a dialogue box with an ok/cancel button and a message and then submit a form based on if the user says ok or not. I know in javascript I can create a new window that links to a styled page and then I can do a select for if the user hits the ok button and submit the windows parent form using that but the last time I coded something similar to it I felt like it took a lot of lines of code and was wondering if JQuery supported dialogue box creation and if I could do some similar functionality using it (with hopefully less lines of code since everytime I use jquery instead of standard javascript it seems like it really reduces my codebase). If anyone knows of a resource to learn how to do this I would appreciate a link or a second of your time for some pointers.
Thanks!
I think you are looking for something along the lines of the jquery ui dialog.

Create Zooming Box

I'm trying to create a website and I've been trying to create something which will open new content when clicked on, somewhat like Facebook has on the pictures: You click, Get a window with the picture and text area for commenting. I'm specifically trying to avoid popups because I don't find them very neat.
Does anybody know how i could create this/ have any tutorials? Is this extremely complex?
Have a look at jquery ui:
http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/
You can not avoid a popup. The only difference is that using a javascript framework like jquery you can have a beautiful popup.
So use the jquery dialog box to display the image and textbox for commenting. Using ajax you can save the comment and exit the dialog box. The trick is to make good use of css and opacity on the dialog box.
