---++ Usage

To load the library into the current wiki page, add this somewhere on the page:

<verbatim class="tml">
%JQREQUIRE{"ui::tooltip"}%
</verbatim>
%JQREQUIRE{"ui::tooltip"}%

This will initialize all DOM elements with a =jqUITooltip= css class and add a jQuery-ui tooltip to it.

<verbatim class="tml">
<a href="#" class="jqUITooltip" title="This is the tooltip content">hover me</a>
</verbatim>

<a href="#" class="jqUITooltip" title="This is the tooltip content">hover me</a>

The plugin will also delegate the feature to all elements in a =jqUITooltip= container by means of delegation.
This means that all elements contained in a =jqUITooltip= container will be tooltip-enabled.
By default any content of a =title= attribute will serve as the content for the tooltip displayed
when hovering over this element.

<verbatim class="tml">
<div class="jqUITooltip">
   * <a href="#" title="This is the tooltip content">hover me</a>
   * <a href="#" title="This is the tooltip content">hover me</a>
   * <a href="#" title="This is the tooltip content">hover me</a>
   * <a href="#" title="This is the tooltip content">hover me</a>
</div>
</verbatim>

<div class="jqUITooltip">
   * <a href="#" title="This is the tooltip content">hover me</a>
   * <a href="#" title="This is the tooltip content">hover me</a>
   * <a href="#" title="This is the tooltip content">hover me</a>
   * <a href="#" title="This is the tooltip content">hover me</a>
</div>

---++ Parameters

The plugin comes with a set of convenient parameters that can be specified using HTML5 data attributes. See the examples below.

| *Name* | *Description* | *Default* |
| arrow | boolean flag to display a small arrow next to the tooltip pointing to its root element |
| delay | milliseconds delay before the tooltip appears | 500 | 
| duration | duration of the animation to show/hide the tooltip | 200 |
| position | specifies the position of the tooltip relative to the element it appears at; this can either be one of the standard position specifiers known to jQuery or one of the short-cuts =bottom=, =top=, =left=, =right= | default |
| theme | specifies one of the predefined look&feel settings; possible values: =default=, =transparent=, =info=, =error=, =help=, =frame= | default |
| track | boolean flag to switch on/off the tooltip to follow the mouse pointer | true |
