Instructions

With popup component you can assign a hint popup messages to other components by bringing cursor over component (if you know java script, with occurrence of mouse onmouseover and Onmouseout events). Popup can display simple text or contain other tags to display more sophisticated contents. When you want to assign a hint popup to a component you should surrender the target tag(s) within a popup tag with a sibling facet tag with attribute name="popup" the facet should contain whatever you want to display in popup. It can be a simple JSF compoent (which can contain other components) like first example; or if you want to display more sophisticated popup you should put them inside a panel as you can see in second example.
