anchor.js

Enhanced Anchor tag.

Functions

OAT.Anchor.assign(anchor, options)

Modifies anchor element so it acts like Enhanced Anchor: when activated, it displays some additional data in lookup bubble. The lookup bubble is an instance of OAT.Win object - so it can be styled the same way: use predefined OAT.Winstyles or use its own via template. Options are the following:

• href - String, url of requested data. When false,anchor inherits this value from the href attribute.
• connection - OAT.Connection object
• datasource -OAT.DataSource object
• *result_control* - "grid", "timeline" or "form". Default is grid. Use false for common window.
• content - node to be inserted (for example,OAT.Dom.text() can be used for raw text).
• status - string to be inserted into status line
• title - string to be in the title area of the window
• activation - "hover", "click", "dblclick" or "focus"
• width , height - dimensions of lookup window (false is like 'auto' in CSS)
• elm - anchor node (use when other than current)
• newHref - new 'href' attribute of theanchor, defaults to 'javascript:void(0)'
• type - Window style type (default OAT.WinData.RECT). (See OAT.Win for other types.)
• template - custom type data. (See OAT.Win for details.)
• visibleButtons - default "cr". (See OAT.Win for details.)
• enabledButtons - default "cr". (See OAT.Win for details.)

OAT.Anchor.close(element, recursive)

Closes selected a++ window. The main point of this method is that it can be called from anywhere, so we do not have to use the close button of the window itself.

• element - any element inside the a++ or the a++ container itself.
• recursive - (optional) if the anchor is inside of another window, close all parents recursively.

Example

var options = {
        title:"Title text",
        content:OAT.Dom.text("Content text"),
        status:"Status text",
        result_control:false,
        activation: "hover",
        type:OAT.WinData.TYPE_MAC
}
OAT.Anchor.assign("elementID", options);
