Re: [Gmod-ajax] JBrowse details box customization

[Colin <col...@gm...>]

The mouseover on the track panel uses the HTML title attribute, which is
just a built in browser thing for mouseovers that doesnt allow having HTML
inside it. It would need a fancier mouseover thing to allow HTML in it

You can use track.shortDescription instead of track.metadata.description to
put something in the mouseovers that is not in the About this track popup
