A tooltip is shown when a user hovers the mouse cursor over the element and disappears when the mouse cursor out that element.
But I have got a requirement where the tooltip keeps open until the user closes it. Is there a way to implement this in RichFaces?
Thank you,
Himalay

That's not a "tooltip". It's more like a dialog which is opened by hovering a cursor.
By and large, we don't want tooltips that hang around indefinitely, since they clutter up the screen and may block input. However, you should be able to get the effect you want by using a however JavaScript event to make a <div> containing the "tip" visible and put a clickable area within that for a close box (I'd appreciate "ESC" key closing as well, myself).
The closest thing actually built into RichFaces that I can recall is their Dialog capability, but that will block input to the underlying page and fuzz out the background as well (except in IE).
However, there may be something more suitable and I just haven't noticed it.

Our business doesnt seem to like the modal/dialog as compared to tooltip. But thanks for the idea.
