Unique Features

• Checks for hover intentTesting for hover intent makes it so that tooltips don’t open the moment your mouse happens to cross an element with a tooltip. Users have to hover over the element for a moment before the tooltip will open. This provides a much smoother user experience.
• Tooltip queuingThe tooltip queue makes it a fundamental rule of the system that there will only ever be one tooltip visible on the screen. When the user moves their cursor to another element with a tooltip, the last tooltip will close gracefully before the next tooltip opens.

Features

• Straightforward implementation
• Simple configuration
• Supports static tooltips as well as tooltips that follow the mouse
• Ability to let users mouse on to the tooltips and interact with their content
• Mouse follow tooltips are constrained to the browser viewport
• Easy customization
• Works with keyboard navigation
• Smooth fade-ins and fade-outs
• Smart placement that (when enabled) will try to keep tooltips inside of the view port
• Multiple instances
• Works on any type of element
• Supports complex content (markup with behavior & events)
• Small footprint (only 6kb minified)
• Actively maintained

• Tooltips that behave like they would in desktop applicationsTooltips should not flicker or be difficult to interact with. Only one tooltip should be visible on the screen at a time. When the cursor moves to another item with a tooltip then the last tooltip should close gracefully before the new one opens.
• Fade-in and fade-outThe tooltips will have smooth fade-in and out cycles instead of abruptly appearing a disappearing. The fade effects will not conflict with any other effects in the document.
• Check for hover intentTooltips should not suddenly appear as soon as your mouse happens to cross the object. They should only open when the cursor hovers over an element for a moment indicating that the user is actively focused on that element.
• Support multiple instancesHave various kinds of tooltips in one document, each with their own settings and content, even with different tooltip divs and styling. All while still preserving the one-tooltip rule and behaving like one instance.
• Totally portableThe plugin does not require any other plugins or extensions to function. There will be no dependencies other than the core jQuery library. The plugin does not require any images, all layout will be entirely CSS based.
• Easy to useDespite all of the complexity involved (timers, animations, multiple instances) the plugin will be dead simple to use, requiring little to no configuration to get running.
• Easy to customizeTooltip layout and functionality should be simple to modify for your own personal touch. Layout should be done entirely with CSS and the plugin will not attach any inline styles other than to control visibility and positioning.
