Extending dojo.widget.Tooltip (Dojo v0.3.1)

This example is for Dojo 0.3. For the same functionality with Dojo 0.9 see here.

If you take mouse over the link below, and you will see a tooltip. Contents are fetched by an asynchronous request. While the contents are being fetched, you see a loading icon. Default dojo tooltip does not provide a way of changing the text displayed while the contents are being fetched. After the contents are fetched, we use javascript to resize the tooltip to max-height and max-width (CSS can be used for max-height and max-width, but that does not work with IE). Visit my blog for more information or view source of this page.

this is a custom loading message. Please wait for a while.

Note: This page must be reloaded if you want to try the demo again. Dojo v0.3.1 is used.
