Popup widths and attributes

posts: 6

I am trying to modify the way the tiki overlib popups.

To do this. I have had to spend the day learning both overlib and smarty popup.. and I still cant' figure out how to simply

1) Change the width of the tooltip

When i do {popup Text="foo text foo" width="200" height ="100"} the height is set just fine, but the width is not set. I have even tried changing the width in overlibjs, and that doesn't work either.

I realize I can call a custom tool tip variable with a TPL as content, but i'd like a simpler solution. Is this just a bug? Tiki templates have "width = -1" in many places. Changing this does nothing.

Can someone explain this to me, and why I can't set the width?

2) Is there some tiki style sheet for overlib I am missing, or does the entire default suite of attributes have to be set in Overlib.js?

I would like to remove that hideous thick border on the right side of the default tool tip. It seems to be the border color, and I can change it, but why is it a bar on the RIGHT side at all? What is that for? It makes no sense, and I'd like to be rid of it in default behavior.

Any clarification greatly appreciated.

It could simply be browser related.

Try in other browsers maybe?
