• Updating the plugin will no longer overwrite your custom dom_tooltip.css file. The plugin comes with the file dom_tooltip.factory.css and Tippy will use that file unless it finds dom_tooltip.css. If you want to customize the Tippy css, copy dom_tooltip.factory.css to dom_tooltip.css and make your edits to dom_tooltip.css. If you edit dom_tooltip.factory.css, you will lose your changes any time you update the plugin. If you already have a custom dom_tooltip.css file, continue using it as normal. If your dom_tooltip.css does not have any custom code, you may want to remove it in order to take advantage of the new CSS changes mentioned below.
• Made some changes to dom_tooltip.factory.css, changing the default look of the plugin. Changes include some new properties from CSS3. See the example below.

Nifty CSS3-enhanced tooltip

And as always, grab it from the Tippy page!

Note: If you update, be aware that the plugin will load a new CSS file. Be sure to back up any changes you may have made to dom_tooltip.css. I will soon release a new version which will help preserve user changes, but if you update before then, be sure to save any changes you have made.

• The plugin no longer tracks mouse position throughout the document and instead only updates position when Tippy is triggered.
• Internally, position values are now calculated using the jQuery library that comes with WordPress. This simplifies the internal process of retrieving values and greatly improves cross-browser compatibility.
• jQuery is also being used to generate and show/hide the tooltip. The tooltip itself is now a singleton, which makes tracking it a bit easier and will help eliminate instances where tooltips don't show up or otherwise act quirky.
• Two new options have been added. The first allows users to choose whether to position the tooltip directly below the Tippy link or directly below the mouse pointer.
• The second option provides X/Y offset values, allowing users to further refine where the tooltip should be positioned.

Thanks for all the feedback and discussion for the previous version. Let me know in the comments if you encounter any problems or if there are other features you would like to see. Lots of internal improvements in this version, but I'm sure there are some bugs lurking as well.

(In case you're wondering what happened to Tippy 3.3.0 and 3.3.1... I don't want to talk about it.)

<a id="tippy_tip0" class="tippy_link" onmouseover="domTip_toolText('tip0', 'Your Tooltip Text', 'Your Tooltip Title', '', 0, 0, 'tippy_tip0', event);" onmouseout="domTip_fadeTipOut();"><img border="0" src="http://www.musterion.net/wp-content/uploads/giraffe.jpg" /></a>

Note that if you have Tippy set to display the tooltip under a link, it will pop up underneath the image.

Just one change in this version, perhaps the most-asked-for feature: UTF-8 support. Let me know if you have any issues with it.

If you already have Tippy installed and run WordPress 2.5 or above you should see the update in your Admin panel once the WordPress Plugin repository updates. Otherwise get it from the Tippy page.

With version 2.0.0 of Tippy I introduced several new features, including the ability to have multiple tooltips, movable tooltips, and resizable tooltips. As far as I know no one ever used those features and it only complicated the code, causing me to pay attention to things that I wasn't even using.

With version 3.0.0 I have removed the extra features and am keeping the tooltip pretty basic but very usable.

The biggest new feature is that the tooltip now will fade in and out rather than disappearing immediately. This adds a bit of flexibility to what you can do since users are now able to interact with the tooltip contents without you having to make the tooltips static: See this extra data

You also now have the ability to specify whether or not to display the header with the tooltip: header on header off

If anyone wanted the features available in the 2.x series I can send you the source.

There is the possibility of quirky behavior if you use the visual editor, the esvbible tag, and you have the esv plugin process your posts when you save them. Even then the problem only shows up when you edit posts you had previously saved. The visual editor likes to reformat links so it might interfere with links generated for inline or block passages. This problem is not new with 2.5, it has always been present.

There were a couple of other minor glitches that were my own fault.

I've had one report of a strange problem that I haven't yet been able to track down. One user reported that when he installed the plugin he no longer had access to his admin tools. I have not been able to duplicate the issue. Has anyone else had the problem? Please let me know what version of WordPress you have installed, whether you installed both Tippy and the ESV Plugin, and what web browser/browser version you were using. Thanks!

Edit:
I'm sure you all can find them, but I forgot to link to the plugin pages:
