simple-callout
Advanced tools
A simple, style-agnostic callout box that can be shown and hidden from any position.
Install simple-callout with Bower
$ bower install simple-callout --save
Import it into the <head> of your page
<link rel="import" href="/bower_components/simple-callout/simple-callout.html">
Then use simple-callout in your project
<simple-callout arrow="top left">
<span>My callout contents</span>
</simple-callout>
To ensure that the content inside the callout is layered on top of the callout's arrow, always use elements rather than just text nodes (eg: <span>text</span> instead of text);
Simple callout relies on emerging standards, and you will need to include polyfills for cross-browser support:
<script src="/bower_components/webcomponentsjs/webcomponents-lite.js"></script>
