Drawing a quote box with css

I recently searched El Goog for a way to drawing a quote box with only css and came across several ideas. Nicholas Gallagher had the simplest, and most compatible approach found during my quick surf, in his article titled “Pure CSS speech bubbles.”

Essentially, his quote box, or speech bubble, came down to the following simple CSS code (there is no HTML or JS involved) and even works in IE; nice!

.triangle-border.left {
    margin-left: 30px;
}
 
.triangle-border {
    border: 5px solid #5A8F00;
    color: #333333;
    margin: 1em 0 3em;
    padding: 15px;
    position: relative;
}

Hi,

I was able to make this lib work with jQuery 1.2.6 by making only this one-liner change:

?View Code JAVASCRIPT
    //this.element.hover(this.options.onHover); 
    this.element.hover(this.options.onHover, this.options.onHover);
