Toggling Balloons Externally
Use the show and hide methods to toggle the balloons externally:
<script type="text/javascript">
var hb5 = new HelpBalloon({
title: 'Non-Ajax Balloon',
content: 'This is an example of static '
+ 'balloon content.'
});
</script>
<button id="btnShow" onclick="hb5.show();">Show</button>
<!-- Prototype Event.observe method -->
<button id="btnHide">Hide</button>
<script type="text/javascript">
Event.observe('btnHide', 'click', hb5.hide.bind(hb5));
</script>
