16:12 rch   owen: hi - are you around ?
16:12 owen  Yup
16:13 rch   was wondering what the issue was with jquery ?
16:13 rch   i have need for some more javascript stuff...
16:13 rch   btw, the sweet Titles thing is very nice
16:14 owen  I'm sure it's possible to put together a good jquery system to do the thing we're trying to do. I was just trying to find something pre-made so that a lot of time wouldn't go into it. The jquery system I showed you relied on storing the popup text in an external file, and that wasn't a very flexible way to do things.
16:14 owen  I
16:14 rch   ah, right.
16:15 owen  I'm fairly new to jquery, so I don't have confidence that I could whip something together in a short time.
16:15 rch   you have an opinion on jquery v yui?
16:16 owen  Jquery is so lightweight, I'm attracted to it just for that. On the other hand, YUI has a lot of stuff built in that makes it very useful
16:17 owen  To be honest I haven't done enough with either one to really be able to make a judgement
16:19 rch   yeah, i'm looking for more of a cut-n-paste solution than to learn jquery (or yui)...  too bad sweetTitles can't do what i need...
16:19 owen  It can't?
16:21 rch   I need to pop up a full marc record
16:21 owen  Oh, you're talking about something different. I thought we were still on title tooltips.
16:22 rch   ah, no... the tooltips are great as they are...
16:22 rch   but it would be nice to have the same code handle this, since it's for same site.
16:22 owen  What are the requirements?
16:22 dewey the requirements are listed on koha.org/support/free.html
16:23 rch   i just need to hide/display the full marc on z39.50 search.
16:23 rch   there's an issue with that script, though, that makes it a little weird.
16:24 rch   the axynchronous zoom search forces several pages to load... so divs are defined multiple times
16:32 owen  I'm not sure I understand the problem... I'm picturing the z39.50 results list, and a button or link or something that says 'view MARC' ?
16:32 owen  And you'd like that click to open up a window that shows the contents of the MARC record?
16:34 rch   yep. tho' i'd rather have all the marc data in the searchresults page and show/hide div.
16:35 owen  You could have the click show/hide a div that uses AJAX to dynamically load the MARC as needed
16:35 owen  I'm not sure what would be involved in styling the data you'd be retrieving
16:36 rch   well, i can get it _as_formatted, and put it in <pre> tags, which works
16:36 rch   or as xml and apply xslt, which is too hard for me right now, but would be cool.
16:37 owen  Agreed on both counts.
16:37 rch   but i was looking for js library to add some nice style to the hide/show bit.
16:38 rch   tho, frankly, i'm having more trouble with the basic hide/show than i expected...
16:38 rch   too bad the documented ESCAPE="JS" doesnt' actually work in html::template :(
