Hi, I'm trying to find a tooltip solution that allows for the display of HTML elements as tooltips, with following specific behaviours: -tooltips popup on mouseover; disappear on mouseout -tooltips can be made sticky + draggable on click, and can be closed with a 'close' link
The first requirement is met in most tooltip libraries: only one tooltip is shown at a time, content can be picked up from other HTML elements on the page, and tooltips disappear on mouseout. The second requirement is often found only partially: many tooltip libraries offer sticky tooltip options, but don't allow multiple sticky tooltips to appear simultaneously. So far, I only found one tooltip library that did it all out of the box: domTT. The demo at http://www.mojavelinux.com/cooker/demos/domTT/example4.html shows what I am looking for. I have successfully combined this library with JQuery in my webapps, but unfortunately bounced into memory leaks on large pages (probably due to the domTT library itself). Without any disrespect, that library has its age and I guess modern-day JS frameworks like JQuery are better geared to avoiding memory leaks by design. Therefore, I'm looking into a pure JQuery solution to implement this functionality, since it promises fast + robust js development for common behaviours + an extensive plugin library. The biggest problem, however, is that even elaborated JQuery plugins like clueTip are limited to displaying only one sticky tooltip at a time. Thanks in advance to any suggestions! Ron
