Tooltip

Demo

Demos are largely unstyled to give developers a better idea of how the plugin can drop into a new or existing project.

<a href="page.html" class="tooltip" data-title="Tooltip Content">Tooltip Handle</a>

$(".tooltip").tooltip({
  direction: "top"
});

Using Tooltip

Main

tooltip.js
tooltip.css

Dependencies

jQuery
core.js

Basic

Tooltip will generate a tooltip based on the target element's data-title attribute. Tooltip can be configured to open in a specific direction by setting the direction key at initialization:

$("a").tooltip({
  direction: "top"
});

<a href="#" data-title="ToolTip Text">Tooltip Target</a>

Delay

A delay can be set to avoid accidental tooltips:

$("a").tooltip({
  delay: 500
});

Options

Set instance options by passing a valid object at initialization, or to the public defaults method. Custom options for a specific instance can also be set by attaching a data-tooltip-options attribute to the target elment. This attribute should contain the properly formatted JSON object representing the custom options.

Methods

Methods are publicly available to all active instances, unless otherwise stated.

defaults

Extends plugin default settings; effects instances created hereafter.

$.tooltip("defaults", { ... });

Parameters

destroy

Removes plugin instance.

$(".target").tooltip("destroy");
