Facebook Style Tooltip JavaScript Library – Tipsy Native

Tipsy Native is a native JavaScript library for generating customizable, Facebook-like tooltips from element’s title attribute.

Features:

• Allows to dynamically updating tooltip text.
• Custom trigger events: click, hover, focus and so on.
• Custom animations.
• Custom fallback when there’s no title attribute provided.
• Tooltip text can be based on any attribute, not just title.
• Supports HTML content.

How to use it:

Include the Tipsy Native’s stylesheet and JavaScript files onto the webpage.

<link href="/path/to/tipsy.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="/path/to/tipsy.js"></script>

Tipsy.bindSelector('#example-1');

Bind the Tipsy Native to all anchor links which have ‘rel=tipsy’ attribute.

Tipsy.watchSelector('a[rel=tipsy]');

Tipsy.bind(document.querySelector('#example-3'), {
  fade: true

});

All configuration options with default values.
