MoochCallout - The Simplest Javascript/CSS Callout on the Web.

Introduction

As a developer myself I was tasked with changing all popup windows into callouts. As any developer would do, I searched the web relentlessly, evaluating each method I found while weighing the pros and cons of each. I soon realized that all these methods are heavy and all I really need is a simple Javascript/CSS Callout, so I wrote one myself. Enjoy MoochCallout.

Explanation

The code is self expanatory with no bells or whistles to get in the way of functionality (a pet pieve of mine).

The core concept is as follows: A link has an onclick event that calls a javascript function, MyCallout_link_click. This function is specific to this callout because it will set the CSS class of the DIV with the ID MoochCallout_Container, to MoochCallout_Container. Each time the link is clicked the toggler funcion will alternate the class name from "none" to "MoochCallout_Contaner", esentially showing and hiding the containing DIV.
