Here is the scenario: a User will see a list of company names, each wrapped in an tag. He is able to see dynamic information and as he hover over each name and then make a request.
So Given a list of companies, each wrapped in an tag.
When the cursor hovers over an tag
Then a "pop-up" appears that contains an -based, dynamic content.
Given the pop-up When the User clicks on the "submit" button in the pop-up Then the form (based on the framework" is submitted and ajax displays "request succesful"
So, because I am using a php-framework, I'd like to use iframe to contain the form.
Some challenges:
When the cursor is no longer hovering over the tag, the hover disappears. How do I keep it operating?
How do I make it appear in an so I can have full form-submission and POST-ing dynamic values through the URL?
How do the "popup" disappear when the cursor is no longer on either the -tag or the pop-up itself?
Can I do it without loading a bunch of 's onto the page, because the list of companies could be long.
