Summer '11 New Features - part 1 (Javascript Remoting)

JavaScript remoting was released as a Developer Preview in Spring '11. In Summer '11, JavaScript remoting now supports additional return data types. Also, references to the same objects are no longer duplicated in the response. Javascript remoting is the process that provides support for some methods in APEX controllers to be called via Javascript.

This is an interesting feature and it'll be a good move to the interactive and fast user interface creation in visualforce. I have mentioned about javascript remoting one of my previous post. There is a nice example about Javascript Remoting.

Displaying pop-up summaries on hover in visualforce

What if I want to make a summary pop-up window when a user hovers over a link in a visualforce page. This Feature is easy in standard salesforce pages, mostly because it happens automatically. But not in visualforce pages. I have seen most of example for pop-up in salesforce were created using the output panels with some embedded styles.   Here I'm posting a pop-up example which show the details of a partuclar record on a mouseover using the Hover links similar to those used in standard Salesforce links.  /*visualforce page*/ <apex:page controller="PopupTest"> <apex:form > <apex:repeat value="{!accounts}" var="acc"> <br/> <a href="/{!acc.Id}" id="{!acc.Id}" onblur="LookupHoverDetail.getHover('{!acc.Id}').hide();" onfocus="LookupHoverDetail.getHover('{!acc.Id}', '/{!acc.Id}/m?retURL=%2F{!acc.Id}&isAjaxRequest=1').show(
