Coda Popup Bubbles

A jQuery Coda ‘puff’ popup bubble

Jorge Mesa writes to ask how to re-create their ‘puff’ popup bubble shown when you mouse over the download image.

In essence the effect is just a simple combination of effect, but there’s a few nuances to be wary of.

To create the puff popup bubble effect, we need the following:

  • Markup that assumes that JavaScript is disabled. It would be fair to say that the popup would be hidden from the CSS.
  • The hidden popup, correctly styled for when we make it appear.
  • jQuery to animate the puff effect on mouseover and mouseout.

The biggest trick to be wary of is: when you move the mouse over the popup, this triggers a mouseout on the image used to trigger the popup being shown. I’ll explain (carefully) how to make sure the effect doesn’t fail in this situation.
