Usage:
-
Copy the contents of src/{images,javascripts,stylesheets} to the corresponding asset directories in your project. If the relative path of your images directory from your stylesheets directory is not "../images", you'll need to adjust tipsy.css appropriately.
-
Insert the neccesary elements in your document's
<head>section, e.g.:<script type='text/javascript' src='/javascripts/jquery.tipsy.js'></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="/stylesheets/tipsy.css" type="text/css" />
Remember to include jquery.tipsy.js after including the main jQuery library.
-
Initialise Tipsy in your document.onload, e.g.:
<script type='text/javascript'> $(function() { $('a[rel=tipsy]').tipsy({fade: true, gravity: 'n'}); }); </script>
