Showing try bot steps in an iframe on hovering the status bubble #91

Most of the times when you get a red bubble, you quickly want to know which step its failing for that bot. This results in opening the bot steps page and then opening the stdio of the step. This results in having multiple tabs open which is not necessary and clutteres the open tabs.

Instead of this how about having an iframe quickly showing the steps (just like crbug.com as attached screenshot) on hover? screenshot_2014-08-20-00-16-25

If hover would be too annoying, then we can have the click as an alternate trigger. Also clicking anywhere else would hide the iframe. WDYT?

I hate that hover thing in crbug, it's really annoying. I really wish there was an API so I could show a more minimal UI, but I suppose I could iframe the steps when you click.

Yeah using click is good way over hover.
