I have a calendar at www.cacheriver.net (http://www.cacheriver.net). When doing a mouse-over on a date such as June 17 (which contains a "[more...]"), I would like the popup to be semi-sticky, so that use can go in and click the [more...] hyperlink.

I have tried setting the Sticky setting to ON, but that makes the popup behavior too sticky, where it is possible for the user to invoke a popup, but leave the calendar area and the popup does not close. It seems witht the Sticky setting ON, that the only way to close a popup is to mouose-over another date that has a popup, or explicitly click on the X, which I feel makes to cumbersome for the end user.

I am seeking a behavior in between, which I think I used to have.

I believe that I have always used the calendar with the Sticky setting OFF, and had the desired behavior, but when I upgraded to latest version (6.3.20) a few weeks ago, I can't seem to get the semi Sticky operation that I used to have.

In a nutshell, I am seeking a semi sticky situation only when a popup contians a [more...], and then only to the extent that the mouse is over the date or the popup. If the user's mouse leaves any of those thwo areas, I would like the popup to close.

There have been no changes to the sticky function in a couple of years (or at least since it was first implemented)...

You do have a good idea, but I don't know if or when it can be implemented... I think it's either on or off for all, I don't think it's possible to select individual mouse-over pop-ups to be sticky while other aren't...
