vTip Featured on Ajaxline

vTip has been featured on AjaxLine’s 30 Best jQuery Plugins for May 2009! It’s nice to see people are appreciating and using them across the web.

We’ve just release version 2, which includes a minified version of the code bringing it down to 0.7KB, and 1KB in total with the images and CSS.

jQuery UI Tooltip Plugin

UPDATE: There is now a dedicated page: jQuery vTip.

We’ve looked around for a nice jQuery tooltip plugin and failed to find one that suited us, and we specifically wanted jQuery UI integration so the styling is done using whatever theme you are rolling.

To use it attach a class of vtip to any element, and give it a title. For example, <a href=”test.html” class=”vtip” title=”This is the tooltip!”>Link</a>.

Here’s the code, feel free to use it and drop us a backlink if you care:

/**
Vertigo Tip by www.vertigo-project.com
Requires (kind of) jQuery UI, and (definately) jQuery
*/

this.vtip = function() {
    xOffset = 5; // x distance from mouse
    yOffset = 20; // y distance from mouse       

    $(".vtip").hover(

        function(e) {
            this.t = this.title;
            this.title = ''; //stop the actual title showing

            $('body').append( '

' + this.t + '

' );
            $('p#vtip').css("display", "none") //hide it
                       .css("position", "absolute").css("opacity", "0.9").css("padding", "10px") //style
                       .css("top", (e.pageY + yOffset) + "px").css("left", (e.pageX + xOffset) + "px") //position
                       .fadeIn("fast"); //show it
        },
        function() {
            this.title = this.t; // set the title back

            $("p#vtip").remove();
        }

    ).mousemove(

        function(e) {
            $("p#vtip").css("top",(e.pageY - xOffset) + "px")
                       .css("left",(e.pageX + yOffset) + "px");
        }

    );            

};

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    vtip();
})
