			<h2>Getting Started</h2>
			<h3>1. Load jQuery and include Tooltipster's plugin files</h3>
			<p>After you <a href="https://github.com/iamceege/tooltipster/archive/master.zip">download Tooltipster</a>, move tooltipster.css and jquery.tooltipster.min.js to your root's CSS and JavaScript directories. Next, load jQuery and include Tooltipster's CSS and JavaScript files inside of your  tags:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint">
&lt;head&#62;
...

    &lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/tooltipster.css" /&#62;

    &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.0.min.js"&#62;&lt;/script&#62;
    &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.tooltipster.min.js"&#62;&lt;/script&#62;

...
&lt;/head&#62;
</pre>
			<h3>2. Set up your HTML</h3>
			<p>In order for Tooltipster to work, we first need to add the <strong>.tooltip</strong> class (or whatever class / means of selection you'd like to use) to whatever element we wish to have a tooltip. Next, we'll set the <strong>title attribute</strong> to whatever we'd like our tooltip to say. Here are a few examples:</p>
			<h4>Adding a tooltip to an image:</h4>
			<pre class="prettyprint">
&lt;img src="my-image.png" class="tooltip" title="This is my image's tooltip message!" /&#62;</pre>
			<h4>Adding a tooltip to a link that already has a class:</h4>
			<pre class="prettyprint">
&lt;a href="http://calebjacob.com" class="ketchup tooltip" title="This is my link's tooltip message!"&#62;Link&lt;/a&#62;</pre>
			<h4>Adding a tooltip to a div:</h4>
			<pre class="prettyprint">
&lt;div class="tooltip" title="This is my div's tooltip message!"&#62;
    This div has a tooltip when you hover over it!
&lt;/div&#62;</pre>

			<h3>3. Activate Tooltipster</h3>
			<p>The last thing we have to do is activate the plugin. To do this, add the following script right before your closing &lt;/head&#62; tag (using whatever selector you'd like - in this case we're using the <strong>.tooltip</strong> class):</p>
			<pre class="prettyprint">
&lt;head&#62;

    ...

    &lt;script&#62;
        $(document).ready(function() {
            $('.tooltip').tooltipster();
        });
    &lt;/script&#62;
&lt;/head&#62;</pre>

			<h3><a name="further">4. Taking It a Step Further</a></h3>
			<h4>Using HTML tags inside your tooltips</h4>
			<p>Tooltipster allows you to use any HTML markup you can think of inside your tooltips. This means you can insert things like images and text formatting tags. To achieve this, the recommended method is a little different : provide your content as a jQuery object in the script rather than in the title attribute :</p>
			<pre class="prettyprint">
&lt;head&#62;

    ...

    &lt;script&#62;
        $(document).ready(function() {
            $('#my-tooltip').tooltipster({
                content: $('&lt;span&gt;&lt;img src="my-image.png" /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;This text is in bold case !&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;')
            });
        });
    &lt;/script&#62;
&lt;/head&#62;
&lt;body&#62;

    &lt;div id="my-tooltip"&#62;
        This div has a tooltip with HTML when you hover over it!
    &lt;/div&#62;

&lt;/body&#62;</pre>

			<p>Another (less recommended) way of achieving this is to put encoded HTML markup directly in your title attribute and set the 'contentAsHTML' option to 'true'. In all cases, make sure you have tight control over the content you wish to display in the tooltip, as unwanted &lt;script&gt; or &lt;iframe&gt; tags for example would be a serious security issue for your website.</p>

			<pre class="prettyprint">
&lt;head&#62;

    ...

    &lt;script&#62;
        $(document).ready(function() {
            $('.tooltip').tooltipster({
                contentAsHTML: true
            });
        });
    &lt;/script&#62;
&lt;/head&#62;
&lt;body&#62;

    &lt;div class="tooltip" title="&amp;lt;img src=&amp;quot;my-image.png&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt; This text is in bold case !&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;"&gt;
        This div has a tooltip with HTML when you hover over it!
    &lt;/div&#62;

&lt;/body&#62;</pre>

			<h4>Customizing Your Tooltipster's Style</h4>
			<p>The style of your Tooltipsters can be easily changed by editing/overriding the default Tooltipster theme, located in the <strong>css/tooltipster.css</strong> file.</p>
			<p>Tooltipster is also packaged with 4 alternative themes to choose from. They are demonstrated at the bottom of this page. To use a theme, just include its css file (located in the css/themes folder) in your page and specify its name in Tooltipster's settings :</p>
			<pre class="prettyprint">
$('.tooltip').tooltipster({
    theme: 'tooltipster-noir'
});</pre>
			<p>And of course, you also have the option to create a brand new theme to suit your needs. To do this, start with the example below and add your flair. When you are done, include and specify your theme just like you would for one of Tooltipster's existing themes.</p>
			<pre class="prettyprint lang-css">
/* This is how you would create a theme called "my-custom-theme": */

.my-custom-theme {
	border-radius: 5px;
	border: 2px solid #000;
	background: #4c4c4c;
	color: #fff;
}
/* Use this next selector to style things like font-size and line-height: */
.my-custom-theme .tooltipster-content {
	font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
	font-size: 14px;
	line-height: 16px;
	padding: 8px 10px;
}</pre>

			<h4>Customizing Tooltipster's Functionality</h4>
			<p>Tooltipster's options gives you a wide range of variables to tweak your tooltip to your heart's content. To learn more about all of the options, <a href="#options">read the Options section</a>. Here's just a few of the things you can play with:</p>
			<pre class="prettyprint">
$('.tooltip').tooltipster({
   animation: 'fade',
   delay: 200,
   theme: 'tooltipster-default',
   touchDevices: false,
   trigger: 'hover'
});</pre>

			<a name="api"></a>
			<h3>The awesomesauce Tooltipster API</h3>
			<p>The Tooltipster API was created to be as flexible and easy to use as possible (thanks to <a href="https://github.com/glebtv">glebtv</a> for the inspiration). The API allows you to create custom triggers, update tooltip content on the fly (whether the tooltip is currently open or not), destroy Tooltipster functionality if needed, and reposition tooltips for unique use cases.</p>
			<p>Here is a quick look at all of the API methods:</p>
			<pre class="prettyprint">
// set default options for all future tooltip instantiations
$.fn.tooltipster('setDefaults', {
  position: 'bottom'
});

// show a tooltip (the 'callback' argument is optional)
$(...).tooltipster('show', callback);

// hide a tooltip (the 'callback' argument is optional)
$(...).tooltipster('hide', callback);

// temporarily disable a tooltip from being able to open
$(...).tooltipster('disable');

// if a tooltip was disabled from opening, reenable its previous functionality
$(...).tooltipster('enable');

// hide and destroy tooltip functionality
$(...).tooltipster('destroy');

// return a tooltip's current content (if selector contains multiple origins, only the value of the first will be returned)
$(...).tooltipster('content');

// update tooltip content
$(...).tooltipster('content', myNewContent);

// get the value of an option
$(...).tooltipster('option', optionName);

// set the value of an option (use at your own risk, we do not provide support for issues you may encounter when using this method)
$(...).tooltipster('option', optionName, optionValue);

// reposition and resize the tooltip
$(...).tooltipster('reposition');

// return the HTML root element of the tooltip
$(...).tooltipster('elementTooltip');

// return the HTML root element of the icon if there is one, 'undefined' otherwise
$(...).tooltipster('elementIcon');</pre>

			<a name="ajax"></a>
			<h3>Using AJAX to generate your tooltip content</h3>
			<p>Tooltipster gives you the ability to fire a custom synchronous or asynchronous function everytime before the tooltip launches (<a href="#functionBeforeExample">functionBefore</a>) or just once upon instantiation (<a href="#functionInitExample">functionInit</a>). One great use for this is to grab dynamic content for your tooltips via AJAX.</p>
			<p id="functionBeforeExample">Here is an example of using functionBefore() asynchronously to replace a loading notification with our AJAX call. Once the content has been retrieved and updated, we'll take advantage of setting $.data() to keep our content cached for the next time the tooltip is opened:</p>
			<pre class="prettyprint">
$('.tooltip').tooltipster({
    content: 'Loading...',
    functionBefore: function(origin, continueTooltip) {

        // we'll make this function asynchronous and allow the tooltip to go ahead and show the loading notification while fetching our data
        continueTooltip();

        // next, we want to check if our data has already been cached
        if (origin.data('ajax') !== 'cached') {
            $.ajax({
                type: 'POST',
                url: 'example.php',
                success: function(data) {
                    // update our tooltip content with our returned data and cache it
                    origin.tooltipster('content', data).data('ajax', 'cached');
                }
            });
        }
    }
});</pre>
			<p id="functionInitExample">However, maybe you just need to make one call and only need it to fire once instead of everytime the tooltip opens. This is where you could use functionInit(). This function will fire only once - right at the beginning of the instantiation process. You'll have the ability to do things like check the current content and set new content. Since the fancy API methods for returning and setting the value aren't instantiated yet, the way we go about this is a little different than functionBefore():
			<pre class="prettyprint">
$('.tooltip').tooltipster({
    functionInit: function(origin, content) {

        if (content === 'This is bad content') {

            // when the request has finished loading, we will change the tooltip's content
            $.ajax({
                type: 'POST',
                url: 'example.php',
                success: function(data) {
                    origin.tooltipster('content', 'New content has been loaded : ' + data);
                }
            });

            // this returned string will overwrite the content of the tooltip for the time being
            return 'Wait while we load new content...';
        }
        else {
            // return nothing : the initialization continues normally with its content unchanged.
        }
    }
});</pre>

			<h3>Manually show and hide a tooltip</h3>
			<p>By default and according to the 'trigger' option, Tooltipster automatically shows tooltips upon users' mouse clicks or mouse hovering (or their touch-gesture equivalents). In addition to this, you may also manually open or close a tooltip at anytime with a simple javascript command.</p>
			<p>To achieve this, Tooltipster has the 'show' and 'hide' methods. Both of them may receive an optional 'callback' parameter, which represents a function you'd like to call when the tooltip is done animating.</p>
			<p>Here's an example of how you could launch a specific tooltip on page load and close it when any key on your keyboard is pressed. This will still preserve the default hover trigger.</p>
			<pre class="prettyprint">
&lt;span class="tooltip" id="example" title="My tooltip content"&#62;Example&lt;/span&#62;
</pre>
			<pre class="prettyprint">
$(document).ready(function() {

   // first on page load, initiate the Tooltipster plugin
   $('.tooltip').tooltipster();

   // then immediately show the tooltip
   $('#example').tooltipster('show');

   // as soon as a key is pressed on the keyboard, hide the tooltip.
   $(window).keypress(function() {
      $('#example').tooltipster('hide');
   });
});
</pre>
			<p>You may also provide a function as the callback parameter of the show/hide methods. The callback functions are called in the context of the tooltipstered element. If the tooltip is already in the state you are asking for (open/closed), the callback is executed immediately. Please note that if the show/hide action is somehow cancelled before it has completed its animation, the callback function will never be called.</p>
			<pre class="prettyprint">
$(document).ready(function() {

   $('.tooltip').tooltipster();

   $('#example').tooltipster('show', function() {
       alert('The tooltip is now fully open. The content is: ' + this.tooltipster('content'));
   });

   $(window).keypress(function() {
      $('#example').tooltipster('hide', function() {
         alert('The tooltip is now fully closed');
      });
   });
});
</pre>

			<h3>Updating a tooltip's content</h3>
			<p>It's easy as pie to update a tooltip's content - whether it's open or closed. Depending on your selector, you can update multiple tooltips at once or just one:</p>
			<pre class="prettyprint">
$('#my-special-element').tooltipster('content', 'My new content');</pre>
			<p>By default, Tooltipster will play a subtle animation when the content changes. To tweak the animation, check out the '.tooltipster-content-changing' class in your tooltipster.css file. It's important to note that only CSS transforms will be animated. To disable this animation, set updateAnimation to false.</p>

			<a name="multiple"></a>
			<h3>Using several tooltips on a single element</h3>
			<p>Several independant tooltips can be set on a single element, each one having its own triggers and options. Just set the 'multiple' option to true when you initialize your tooltip. This will only change two things that you might want to be aware of.</p>
			<p>Firstly, the instantiation call will now return an array of Tooltipster objects generated by the call, instead of the tooltipped jQuery-wrapped elements.</p>
			<p>Secondly, you will have to use the Tooltipster object of a tooltip to make any API method calls on it. All methods documented on this page remain available, only the way to call them changes.</p>

			<pre class="prettyprint">
// create a first tooltip as usual. The multiple option is actually optional for the first tooltip
$('#my-element').tooltipster({
	content: 'My first tooltip',
	position: 'top'
});

// instantiate a second tooltip and keep the returned Tooltipster objects array for later use of the API
var tooltipsterObjects = $('#my-element').tooltipster({
	// don't forget to provide content here as the 1st tooltip will have deleted the original title attribute of the element
	content: 'My second tooltip',
	multiple: true,
	position: 'bottom'
});

// since the jQuery selector matches only one element, the array will contain only one Tooltipster object.
// Otherwise the array would contain one object for each matched element, in the same order as them
var tooltip2 = tooltipsterObjects[0];

// use this Tooltipster object to make any API method call on the tooltip
tooltip2.content('New content for my second tooltip').show();
// all documented methods can be called that way
var element = tooltip2.elementTooltip();

// calling the API methods in the usual way only affects the first tooltip that was created on the element
$('#my-element').tooltipster('content', 'New content for my first tooltip')
</pre>

<pre class="prettyprint">
// You may use the 'multiple' option on the first tooltip as well, it will return an array of objects too
var tooltipsterObjects = $('#my-element').tooltipster({
	content: 'My first tooltip',
	multiple: true
});

// this is also a way to call API methods on the first tooltip
var tooltip1 = tooltipsterObjects[0];
tooltip1.content('New content for my first tooltip').show();</pre>

<p>Note : if you have multiple tooltips and destroy them, only the last destroyed tooltip will transfer its content back to the title attribute of the tooltipped element.</p>

			<h3>Make tooltips accessible to persons with disabilities</h3>
			<p>The W3C issued a recommendation to make websites more accessible to persons with disabilities. This recommendation is known as WAI-ARIA (or simply ARIA), which stands for Web Accessibility Initiative - Accessible Rich Internet Applications.</p>
			<p>Accessible tooltips can be powered by Tooltipster. To do this, one solution is to actually manipulate in parallel two tooltips which will share the same content :<br />
				- the ARIA tooltip, which is invisible on the screen but readable by ARIA-compatible software<br />
				- the Tooltipster tooltip, which is visible on the screen but does not appear as an ARIA-compatible element
			</p>
			<p>A basic example : imagine that we want to put a tooltip on a text input field. As for the HTML part, you would write :</p>
			<pre class="prettyprint">
&lt;input id="myfield" type="text" aria-describedby="myfield_description" /&gt;
&lt;span id="myfield_description" role="tooltip"&gt;Please insert your name here&lt;/span&gt;
</pre>
			<p>As for the CSS part, write this :</p>
			<pre class="prettyprint">
#myfield_description {
	display: none;
}
</pre>
			<p>And finally, you could initiate Tooltipster like this :</p>
			<pre class="prettyprint">
$('#myfield').tooltipster({
    functionInit: function(){
        return $('#myfield_description').html();
    },
    functionReady: function(){
        $('#myfield_description').attr('aria-hidden', false);
    },
    functionAfter: function(){
        $('#myfield_description').attr('aria-hidden', true);
    }
});

// if in addition you want the tooltip to be displayed when the field gets focus, add these custom triggers :
$('#myfield')
    .focus(function(){
        $(this).tooltipster('show');
    })
    .blur(function(){
        $(this).tooltipster('hide');
    });
</pre>
