Tooltip

The tooltip supports a hover like behaviour [such as hover like behaviour for entities marked ...] for entities marked with smwttinline (properties etc.) or a persistent like behaviour [such as persistent like behaviour allowing interactions with ... see Help:Adding tooltips] allowing interactions with the tooltip for entities marked with smwttpersist.

Configuration

• Objects marked with smwttinline will adopt a hover like behaviour with no closing button and will automatically hide by crossing over the tooltip border.
• Warning tooltip will behave in a similar manner as smwttinline marked objects.
• Service link tooltip will have a closing button and allow interactions until an event will close the tooltip
• Info tooltip will behave like the a service link tooltip

Styling

Please have a look at ext.smw.tooltip.css for adjustments related to the icons used and for any other related styling isses see style documentation, demos and tips, and implementation samples.

Why qtip²

Tipsy and the jquery UI tooltip allow simple tooltip functionality but when it comes to enhanced user interactions it needs a more comprehensive plug-in that can provide greater flexibility.
