Select option box with prompts

b

Hi,

I have the following code:

<select id="users" name="user" multiple="multiple" class="multi-select" size="6">								
	#foreach ($user in $action.getAllUsers())							
		<option value="$user.name">$user.displayName ($user.emailAddress)</option>
	#end
</select>

and I want to make promts for user option. It means after I mark option there should be displayed description in something like "dialog box". How could I do this? Is there any atlassian helper, or helpful jquery opensource library?

Is the description in a dialog box very user-friendly? You'd need some option to say "don't tell me again".

In the behaviours plugin you can write text under the field where the errors would go, you don't have to use the plugin, but the code is like:

field.parent().find("div.jbhverror").remove();
var helpDivs = field.parent().find("div.error:last");

var bhvError = '<div class="error jbhverror">' + behaviours[fieldname]["helpText"] + '</div>';
if (helpDivs.length > 0) {
	helpDivs.prepend(bhvError);
}
else {
	field.parent().append(bhvError);
}

So you just need a handler for when the user clicks on one of the options. If I understood you right.
