Question

I have the jQuery plugin Tooltipsy to generate a tooltip for a link. In this tooltip I have other links to related objects. I would like it to pop up just above the initial link and stay if I move the mouse to it to click a link. Is this possible? Does anyone know how to do it?

Answer 1

I didn’t manage to get it to stay open and couldn’t wait any longer so I changed to another tooltip plugin called simpletip that provided the functionality that I needed.

Simpletip could not get the title attribute from the links by itself so this is the code I used to achieve that. EDIT: I changed the code to take data-title (HTML5 compliant) instead for title so that I didn’t have to block all titles from default showing:

$(".order_tooltip").simpletip({
    fixed: true,
    position: 'top',
    onBeforeShow: function(){
        this.update(this.getParent().data('title'));
    }
});
