Opentip ======= [Opentip][opentip] is a free opensource Java-Script tooltip class. Features -------- It supports: - Stems (little pointers) - Automatic content download with [AJAX][ajax] - Different styles - Automatic repositioning of the tooltip if it's not in the viewport of the browser anymore - All kind of triggers (The tooltip can be triggered by mouse over, click, form submit,... everything you can think of really) - CSS3 Animations - Well tested, with over 200 unit tests As of Version 2.0 Opentip does **no longer depend on [Prototype]**. You can choose *any* adapter you want so you can work with the framework of your choice. Supported frameworks are: - Native. You can use this one if you don't use any framework. - [Ender] - [Component] - [jQuery] - [Prototype] > If you want to contribute, please read on in the [contribute](https://github.com/enyo/opentip/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) > file. If you are migrating from version **1.x** please refer to the > [migration section](#migrating-from-opentip-1x-to-2x) ### Build status Master [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/enyo/opentip.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/enyo/opentip) Develop [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/enyo/opentip.png?branch=develop)](https://travis-ci.org/enyo/opentip) Installation ------------ ### jQuery, Prototype, Native Just download `lib/opentip.js` and `lib/adapter.FRAMEWORK.js` and include them in this order. You can also take the already minified and combined files in the `downloads/` folder. ### Component The easiest and recommended way to install *opentip* is with [component]. Just add `enyo/opentip` as dependency in your `component.json` and rebuild it. Simply requiring opentip then activates the tooltips: `require "opentip";` ### Ender If you prefer [ender] as package manager just install it like this: ```bash $ ender build opentip ``` ### Bower Another package manager supported is [bower]: ```bash $ bower install opentip ``` * * * You should include opentip's CSS as well. It's in `css/opentip.css`. (Except for [component] of course which automatically bundles the css.) * * * If you want to work it with <=IE8, you have to include excanvas as well. Please refer to the [installation guide](http://www.opentip.org/installation.html). Usage ----- *Version 2.4.6* With HTML data attributes: ```html
Click me
``` or with the Javascript API: ```js $('elementId').opentip('Content', { showOn: "click", ...options... }); ``` For the complete documentation please visit [www.opentip.org][opentip]. Future plans ------------ - ~~Become library independant. I'm currently working on extracting all prototype functionality, so I can switch library easily. The next library I'll support will be jquery, and then mootools.~~ - Add more skins. - ~~Add cooler loading animation.~~ - ~~Implement unit tests.~~ If you have ideas, please contact me! Contribute ---------- Please refer to the [CONTRIBUTING](https://github.com/enyo/opentip/blob/develop/CONTRIBUTING.md) readme. Migrating from Opentip 1.x to 2.x --------------------------------- Those are the major changes you should look out for when migrating from 1.x to 2.x: - There's no `Tip` or `Tips` object anymore. Everything is done through `Opentip` - The recommend way to create opentips now is to call `new Opentip(element, content, title, options)`, or with the framework of your choice (eg, [ender]: `$("#my-div").opentip(content, title options)`) - The instantiation of new tips inside an event (eg: `onclick`, `onmouseover`) is no longer supported! This would create new opentips everytime the event is fired. - `Opentip.debugging = true;` does no longer exist. Use `Opentip.debug = true;` - Positions are no longer of the weird form `[ "left", "top" ]` but simply strings like `"top left"` or `"right"` - `stem.size` has been dropped in favor of `stem.length` and `stem.base` - Most of the design is now done in JS since the whole thing is a canvas now. - The way close buttons are defined has completely changed.
