<!--

// Welcome to Tipster! Before you start, make sure you've read and agree to the
// "Conditions of Use" in the HTML document below.


// This script is object orientated.
// It works by creating "tip objects", each of which corresponds to a DIV in the page below.
// Each object contains a 'template' used for formatting tips, and settings for that object.
// Here are some examples to get you started:


// First, create a new tip object, and pass it its own name so it can reference itself.
var docTips = new TipObj('docTips');
with (docTips)
{
// Next, we set the appearance and style of the tips displayed by this tip object.
// Each tip object must have a string called 'template' that contains some specially-formatted
// HTML to write to its DIV. This example has two nested tables, a border and a background.
// The special bits are the %2%, %3% and so on halfway through. These correspond to values we
// set in the tips.tipName arrays later: %0% is the X value, %1% is Y, and %2% onwards are
// whatever other info we have in there (width, text etc...). This example sets the width %2%
// of the table, and inserts some content which is the text %3%.
// You might want to put extra information in the tip arrays, and use %4%, %5% onwards in the
// template for tip headers, footers, customisable colours etc... see the next tip object for
// another example.

template = '<table bgcolor="#0d0d0a" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" width="%2%" border="0">' +
'<tr><td><table bgcolor="#0d0d0a" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" width="100%" border="0">' +
'<tr><td class="tipClass">%3%</td></tr></table></td></tr></table>';

// Next, you can list one or more named tips to call later on in your page. This is useful if
// you want to show the same tip several times in the page, or on several pages.
//
// We organise tips in arrays like so: tips.tipName = new Array(X, Y, width, text, ....);
// The first two parameters, X and Y, are the distances of the tip from the mouse cursor position
// if they're set as numbers. If they're strings ('in quotes'), the script calculates them as
// expressions and ignores the mouse position. They are the only compulsory parameters.
// You can also use the 'page' object included with this script for fancy positioning
// effects. Functions include 'page.winW()' and 'page.winH()' to get the window area dimensions,
// and 'page.scrollX()' and 'page.scrollY()' for the current scroll position, so you can align
// your tips however you want... see the examples below.
//
// Alternatively, you can also create tips inline later in the page like so:
// <tag onmouseover="tipObjectName.newTip('tipName', X, Y, ....and so on....)">
// This automatically creates and shows a new tip (just give them random names).
// Make sure you don't use HTML formatting inside HTML tag event handlers for your tip text.
//
// And if you don't want to do *that*, see below for an optional function that can convert
// TITLE="..." attributes into tips automatically.


// This 'mysite' tip will show 75px left of the cursor and 15px below. As you can see %2% is
// a width of 150px, and %3% is a text string, according to our template above.

this.tipStick = 0.2;
this.fadeInSpeed = 50;
this.fadeOutSpeed = 1;
this.showDelay = 50;
this.hideDelay = 550;


tips.downsdesign = new Array( -75, -100, 150, 'DownsDesign made our site awesome');

tips.bug = new Array( -75, -100, 150, 'Eww bugs are gross Let us know and we will squish em');

tips.lost = new Array(-100, -100, 150, 'Just in case you get lost');

tips.staff = new Array( 50, -10, 150, 'Aint they purdy');

tips.survey = new Array( 50, -10, 150, 'How are we doing?');

tips.nospam = new Array( 50, -10, 150,  'Only good stuff no spam we promise');


// This next tip uses a formula to position the tip 110 pixels from the right edge of the screen.
tips.formulae = new Array('page.scrollX() + page.winW() - 110', -20, 100,
'This tip is always on the right edge...');
tips.format = new Array(5, 5, 150, 'That means <i>italics</i>...<br /><hr />...etc');


// Finally, you can set some optional properties to customise the behavious of this object.
//
// How much of a delay do you want between pointing and action? Defaults are:
//showDelay = 50;
//hideDelay = 200;
//
// False will hide tips instantaneously. Fading only works under IE/Win and NS6+.
//doFades = false;
// You can change the minimum and maximum opacity percentages, defaults:
//minAlpha = 0;
//maxAlpha = 100;
//
// How fast the transparency changes (between 1 and 100), higher means faster fades.
//fadeInSpeed = 20;
//fadeOutSpeed = 20;
//
// Tip stickiness, from 0 to 1, defines how readily the tip follows the cursor. 1 means it
// follows it perfectly (the default), 0 is a static tip, and decimals are 'floating' tips.
//tipStick = 0.2;
//
// IE 5.5+ select box fix. This will enable tips to appear over <SELECT> elements in the page.
//IESelectBoxFix = true;
