   6. {
   8. var Url = "http://siteURL/sites/Ramesh/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/MyAnnouncements";
   10. var request = new Sys.Net.WebRequest();
   12. request.set_httpVerb("GET");
   14. request.set_url(Url);
   16. request.get_headers()["Accept"] = "application/json";
   18. request.add_completed(onSuccessFunction);
   20. request.invoke();
   22. });
   24. function onSuccessFunction(response, eventArgs) {
   25. var announcements = eval("(" + response.get_responseData() + ")");
   27. var newAnnouncement = document.createElement("div");
   29. for (var i = 0; i < announcements.d.results.length; i++) {
   31. announTitle = announcements.d.results[i].Title;
   33. _announID = announcements.d.results[i].Id;
   35. _announBody = announcements.d.results[i].Body;
   37. anniDiv.appendChild(newAnnouncement);
   39. var calloutLink = document.createElement("div");
   41. calloutLink.id = _announID;
   43. calloutLink.onmouseover = function() {
   45. curListUrl = this.id;
   47. }
   49. calloutLink.innerHTML = "<div class=\"ms-commandLink\" style=\"text-align: left;font-size: 14px;\"><b>" + _announTitle + "</b><br/><br/></div>";
   51. anniDiv.appendChild(calloutLink);
   53. var listCallout = CalloutManager.createNew({
   55. launchPoint: calloutLink,
   57. beakOrientation: "leftRight",
   59. ID: _announID,
   61. title: _announTitle,
   63. content: "<div class=\"ms-soften\" style=\"margin-top:13px;\">"
