Start off by including jQuery as well as the aToolTip plugin
Initiate the plugin
// initiate the plugin after DOM has loaded
$(function(){
// basic usage
$('a.normalTip').aToolTip();
// fixed tooltip
$('a.fixedTip').aToolTip({
fixed: true
});
// on click tooltip with custom content
$('a.clickTip').aToolTip({
clickIt: true,
tipContent: 'Hello I am aToolTip with content from param'
});
// on click tooltip that has callback functions
$('a.callBackTip').aToolTip({
clickIt: true,
onShow: function(){alert('I fired OnShow')},
onHide: function(){alert('I fired OnHide')}
});
// List of all parameters and their default values:
$('a').aToolTip({
// no need to change/override
closeTipBtn: 'aToolTipCloseBtn',
toolTipId: 'aToolTip',
// ok to override
fixed: false, // Set true to activate fixed position
clickIt: false, // set to true for click activated tooltip
inSpeed: 200, // Speed tooltip fades in
outSpeed: 100, // Speed tooltip fades out
tipContent: '', // Pass in content or it will use objects 'title' attribute
toolTipClass: 'defaultTheme', // Set class name for custom theme/styles
xOffset: 5, // x position
yOffset: 5, // y position
onShow: null, // callback function that fires after atooltip has shown
onHide: null // callback function that fires after atooltip has faded out
});
});
