Tooltips, written in pure JavaScript, with smooth 3D animation implemented in CSS. No framework dependencies. http://ytiurin.github.io/html5tooltipsjs

###Simple usage

The simplest way to tie tooltip to a specific UI element is by adding the data-* attribute to an HTML element.

<span data-tooltip="Refresh"></span>

Add extra attributes to customize tooltip.

<span data-tooltip="Refresh" data-tooltip-stickto="right" data-tooltip-color="bamboo"
  data-tooltip-animate-function="foldin"></span>

###Advanced usage

You may use a JavaScript constructor to abstract from your view layer.

html5tooltips({
  animateFunction: "spin",
  color: "bamboo",
  contentText: "Refresh",
  stickTo: "right",
  targetSelector: "#refresh"
});

There is an extra feature in html5tooltips.js that allows to show extended text in the tooltip, when user focuses on input field and editable element. You can use plain text or HTML formatting.

html5tooltips({
  contentText: "Not less then 8 symbols",
  contentMore: "Use lower and UPPER case letters, num<span style='color:red'>6</span>ers and spec<span style='color:red'>!</span>al symbols to make password safe and secure.",
  maxWidth: "180px",
  targetSelector: "#password"
});

Define multiple tooltips by passing an array of tooltip objects to the Javascript constructor.

html5tooltips([
  {
    animateFunction: "spin",
    color: "#FF0000",
    contentText: "Refresh",
    stickTo: "right",
    targetSelector: "#refresh"
  },
  {
    contentText: "Simple to remember",
    contentMore: "Check that your login name is not used by anyone else.",
    stickTo: "left",
    maxWidth: "180px",
    targetSelector: "#username"
  }
]);

###Styling

To modify tooltip presentation, simply apply styling to it's root element .html5tooltip-box. background-color, color, border-radius, box-shadow, font-family, font-size will propogate to the tooltip text container and pointer.

.html5tooltip-box
{
  background-color: #2A2A2A;
  border-radius: 2px;
  box-shadow: 0 0 0 1px rgba(255,255,255,.15), 0 0 10px rgba(255,255,255,.15);
