how to make a post-it type note ?

[Roman Ziak]

Is there somewhere a coherent example or available production code for
something similar to intelliTXT:

Point on the highlighted words and you get the bubble.

I assume it's a absolutely positioned DIV element.

Another question is how to make corners round without CSS3 ?

Thanks

No bubble whatsoever, and no script errors (yet 336 warnings, CSS warnings
and errors not included) with Firefox 1.5.0.1/Linux. The site is
exceptionally slow here if uncached, probably due to the Web counter, many
iFrames and completely broken source code.

A pretty good example of how not to do it.

One approach that I recommend against, is (mis)using tables, particularly
table cells with images, for layout. Another one, that does no harm like
that, is trying proprietary style properties, implemented e.g. in

(The relevant call is at the end of the `body' element, it uses wrapper
code from dhtml.js.)

I got the post-it working using DIV. Preview on:

No round corners or anything fancy so far. Just basic absolutely
positioned DIV and XMLHttpRequest to get the first post in the topic.
