Plugin options

The plugin configuration options are the following:

• message
  • the hint message
• isSuccess
  • whether to display a success message or an error message
• slideUp
  • the slideUp animation delay (ms)
• delay
  • time (ms) the hint is meant to be shown. Set this to 0 if you don't want the hint to be disposed
• id
  • the hint id html attribute
• class
  • one or more classes to add to the hint

Usage

There are two ways of using hinter. The first one is configuring and displaying the hint at once. Ex:

$('body').hinter({ message: "Scary spooky error message", isSuccess: false, id: "hinter-2-spooky" });

The second one is configuring the hint options through the nice chainable methods. Ex:

$('body').hinter().success().message("Nice friendly message!").delay(6000).show();

Or you can mix both. Ex:

$('body').hinter().config({isSuccess: false, delay: 3000}).message("An error has ocurred =[").show();

TODO

Add more configuration options to the plugin.
