Re: [ovirt-devel] jQuery?

----- Original Message ----- I'm not sure this is the only way. gwtbootstrap3 could do the same thing, after all its code becomes JavaScript in the end. I think there is no real difference (conceptually) between bootstrap.js vs gwtbootstrap3, each one can use JavaScript to implement widgets like tooltips. In the end it boils down to styling DOM elements with CSS classes, so Bootstrap CSS framework is the lowest common denominator. Hm, I assume you mean this: http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#tooltips these are jQuery plugins, apparently bootstrap.js builds on top of jQuery to ease the work with DOM elements. For example: $('#example').tooltip(options) will register mouse listeners on given element that control the tooltip. Anyway, the tooltip behavior is just JavaScript + setting CSS classes, not really related to jQuery. However, I found this: https://github.com/gwtbootstrap3/gwtbootstrap3/blob/master/gwtbootstrap3/... so it seems that gwtbootstrap3 _does_ support things like tooltips. EDIT: see my comment below, Tooltip.java depends on jQuery, you're right. You are correct. So gwtbootstrap3 requires jQuery. I didn't know this, just realized this now after looking at Tooltip.java code. So gwtbootstrap3 is just a thin GWT wrapper to bootstrap.js which implies the need for jQuery. (Originally I thought it's not just a thin wrapper.) Considering above, I'm OK with adding jQuery to GWT UI host page. BTW, we could do this via <script> in GwtCommon.gwt.xml which will cause the script to be automatically injected into GWT compilation (permutation) output, so we wouldn't need to modify host page HTML. However, question is, how/where to maintain jQuery script file(s).
