This is probably the best tooltip script around today, the amount of detailing that went into this exceptional.
I think he has every right to ask a price for it. That also shows he has the intention to maintain it. You can't create the same thing for that price, unless you work for less then $0,25 hour.
Getting something like this working cross browser takes a lot of time. Even for commercial use, this is a bargain.
- chaostheory 18y agoi'm not saying he has or doesn't have a right to charge for something - just like MS charges for VS2008. I'm just saying that this doesn't cater to my self interest in the long run. I haven't seen any other tool tips this good in the open source world, but I'd rather use something good enough open source than use something closed; given history open source will catch up sooner or later
- aja2 18y agoDon't feel bad about posting it, I'm sure it caters other peoples needs, like mine. I've taken a look at his other scripts, great stuff, frequent updates. I don't think open source will be catching up any time soon.
- chaostheory 18y agofrequent updates yes... but you need $299 up-front to take advantage of it, unless you feel like continually giving $50...
- royty 18y agoFor unlimited use $295 is a good price. As a programmer, I couldn't code it for that. I think others using this on a commercial basis would agree.
- DougBTX 18y agoThese are JavaScript tooltips, it isn't some breakthrough technology. Your company won't collapse if the guy disappears. If his stuff is better than the open source stuff, go for it. You can always move to the open source code later. And think, by then it might have caught up with him, and you'll only have to update your code once, rather than each step as the open source code catches up (assuming it does).
