Install
npm install html5tooltipsjs or
bower install html5tooltipsjs Simple usage
The simplest way to tie a tooltip to a specific UI element is to add a data-* attribute to an element's HTML code.
<span data-tooltip="Refresh"></span>Add extra attributes to customize a tooltip.
<span data-tooltip="Refresh" data-tooltip-stickto="right" data-tooltip-color="bamboo" data-tooltip-animate-function="foldin"></span>Customization inheritance
To customize multiple tooltips with less of code, add a data-* attribute to their shared parent element (or document body).
<body data-tooltip-animate-function="foldin"> <div data-tooltip-color="bamboo"> <span data-tooltip="Build"></span> <span data-tooltip="Refresh"></span> <span data-tooltip="Delete"></span> </div> </body>Advanced usage
You may use a JavaScript constructor to abstract from your view layer.
html5tooltips({ animateFunction: "spin", color: "bamboo", contentText: "Refresh", stickTo: "right", targetSelector: "#refresh" });There is an extra feature in html5tooltips.js that allows to show extended text in the tooltip, when user focuses on input field and editable element. You can use plain text or HTML formatting.
html5tooltips({ contentText: "Not less then 8 symbols", contentMore: "Use lower and UPPER case letters, num<span style='color:red'>6</span>ers and spec<span style='color:red'>!</span>al symbols to make password safe and secure.", maxWidth: "180px", targetSelector: "#password" });Define multiple tooltips by passing an array of tooltip objects to the Javascript constructor.
html5tooltips([ { animateFunction: "spin", color: "#FF0000", contentText: "Refresh", stickTo: "right", targetSelector: "#refresh" }, { contentText: "Simple to remember", contentMore: "Check that your login name is not used by anyone else.", stickTo: "left", maxWidth: "180px", targetSelector: "#username" } ]);Styling
To modify tooltip presentation, simply apply styling to it's root element .html5tooltip-box. Properties background-color, color, border-radius, box-shadow, font-family and font-size will propogate to the tooltip text container and pointer.
.html5tooltip-box { background-color: #2A2A2A; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 0 0 1px rgba(255,255,255,.15), 0 0 10px rgba(255,255,255,.15); color: #F7F7F7; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; }For Single Page Applications
