Hi,

I was wondering how to create an ajax balloon that contains a form (something similar to the google maps "Get Directions" balloon where you type your To/From address). I've looked at AjaxTags callout but that doesn't seem to allow forms. Any pointers would be appreciated!

Seems like a fairly straight-forward application of CSS unless you want to get too fancy. What have you done so far?

Ah, that's better than ajax frameworks. I do have a question about this approach though. So for each item, I have an input text box that I can click on to bring up this popup box. Whatever I decide in the popup box goes back into the originating input text box as text. My code for this is below. I pass the item id and populate that in the value attribute of <div>, so that when I close the popup, I would know which input text box to populate. I'm not typically a web guy, so I'm not as familiar with all of this, but it feels dirty for me to do this. Is there a cleaner way, or is this the right way?

Thanks!
