Tooltips using jQuery
March 1st, 2013 - No Comments »

In this snippet I am going to show you how to implement a nice Tooltip using jQuery. It is very simple

Step 1: The Scripts

Add the following code in between your < head > < / head > tags.

<head>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" />
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>

<script>
$(function() {
$( document ).tooltip();
});
</script>
<style>
label {
display: inline-block;
width: 5em;
}
</style>

</head>

<head>

$(function() {

$( document ).tooltip();

});

</script>

<style>

label {

display: inline-block;

width: 5em;

}

</style>

</head>

Step 2: The HTML Content

Add the following code in between your < body > < / body > tags. You can edit the content to suit your needs.

<body>

<p><a href="#" title="That's what this widget is">Tooltips</a> can be attached to any element. When you hover
the element with your mouse, the title attribute is displayed in a little box next to the element, just like a native tooltip.</p>
<p>But as it's not a native tooltip, it can be styled.</p>

<p>Tooltips are also useful for form elements, to show some additional information in the context of each field.</p>
<p><label for="age">Your age:</label><input id="age" title="We ask for your age only for statistical purposes." /></p>
<p>Hover the field to see the tooltip.</p>

</body>
