Thumbnail preview of an item by hovering my mouse over

Hi I need to see a thumbnail preview of an item (image, pdf, html etc) by hovering my mouse over it so I can easily see what the item is without having to load it fully. It should show preview in a pop-up window when I’m mouses over for 1 second and should disappear when I’m mouses off the item. If the preview cannot be shown in a browser window, then show a message like “Cannot display”.

For the pdf preview of html code (Icon with the label) is below:

<div id="ember8734" class="ember-view managed-object-tools-icon managed-object-icon-view container-view clickable" style="font-size: 20px">
<rs-icon id="ember8737" class="ember-view primary-icon managed-object-primary-icon icon" style="font-size: 20px">
<icon glyph="type_pdf" class="type_pdf" set="types" style="font-size: 20px;">
</icon>
</rs-icon>
<rs-icon id="ember8743" class="ember-view version-icon icon" style="width: 1em; height: 1em; font-size: 20px">
</rs-icon>
</div>
<managed-object-label id="ember8749" class="ember-view content-data managed-object-label-view managed-object-label-view managed-object-label data-view managed-object-label-view-core_component_data-view-mixin managed-object-label-core_component_data-view-mixin data-view-core_component_data-view-mixin">
<div core-role="primaryLabel" class="" data-bindattr-49="49">story.​pdf</div>

For all the item(html, pdf, image etc) Thumbnail-preview.js code is here:

    var childView = function (name, ext) {

Please provide me the suggestion for this. I’m new to the ember. If you need the further detail ask me in the comment. Your help will be more appreciate. Thanks in advance.

Seems like you are using a very old version of Ember. ContainerView was deprecated in 1.13 and removed in Ember 2.0, which was released in August 2015. If you have any chance, I would recommend to upgrade your code.

Thanks @jelhan. I’m using Ember 1.4.0 only. That only supporting to my project. Please provide any suggestion for this code.
