Fix seedling deployment range tooltips #74

Closed daviswx closed 8 years ago

daviswx commented 8 years ago

The tooltips in the seedling deployment range legends (below the maps) are currently turned off.

The JQuery code that handles the tooltip behavior doesn't support tooltips like these that are added after the page has loaded. I can modify this code to handle those, but then it introduces another problem: When the tooltips in the Projected Average map titles are clicked, it enlarges the maps as well as displaying the tooltips.

I can create a separate function to handle just the risk range tooltips, but I didn't have time to do this before the public rollout.

One other idea is adding a small asterisk next to the marker, like this: seed_deployment_risk_range_legend_asterisk

That would avoid the need for a tooltip icon, which can also clutter up the space below that legend a bit. But would it be obvious enough that people need to interact with it in some way (i.e., hover their mouse over it) to see an explanation?

I really like this asterisk idea. Instead of getting people to hover over it to see the explanation, would it be feasible to put the explanation right below like within each legend container?

Here's how it would look to have the explanations beneath the legends:

Seedling Markets tool seedling_markets_legend_explanation

Seedling Sources tool seedling_sources_legend_explanation

Hmmm it does seem a bit cluttered but maybe not too bad. I would be OK with this. What are your thoughts?

hadinon commented 8 years ago

One minor thing that I just noticed: the seedling sources text says, "...minimum/mean/maximum projected temperature" instead of "lowest likely / multi-model mean / highest likely". I'm sure this is on your radar to fix but just wanted to make sure!

Of all the options we've tried so far, I think I like this one the best. My only concern is that it may be a bit wordy, especially since it wraps to a third line on the Seedling Sources tool. I have updated the wording for that tool as suggested.

hadinon commented 8 years ago

Yeah, I agree. With the updated wording, it is no longer wrapping to a third line on the Seedling Sources tool so I'm going to close this. Please re-open if needed.
