[tei-council] Popup bibliography references in the Guidelines

[Martin Holmes]

HI Peter,

It's not supposed to be a tooltip; it's a replacement for navigating to 
another page. You get a tooltip anyway from the @title element (although 
it's not complete, of course). If you'd like to replace the tooltip 
(i.e. title attribute) behaviour with some JQuery stuff, please go 
ahead; my objective was to get rid of the page-jumping.

I've avoided using JQuery interface stuff in my code; I just use the 
event binding a bit. But JQuery is there, so you could use it if you 
want to.

Cheers,
Martin

I can imagine situations (large screen, link text early on the left) where it’ll be hard to notice the popup at all and second you’ll have to go a long way with your pointer to close that popup again.
