Question 1

How do I add fade animations to Tipso tooltips?

Accepted Answer

Set the 'speed' option to control fade duration in milliseconds, or use 'animationIn' and 'animationOut' with Animate.css class names (e.g., 'fadeIn') for custom CSS3 effects, as outlined in the README's usage table.

Question 2

Tipso vs Tippy.js: which tooltip plugin is better?

Accepted Answer

Tipso is a lightweight jQuery plugin with built-in styling and AJAX support, ideal for traditional jQuery projects. Tippy.js is more modern, framework-agnostic, and offers advanced features like popper positioning—choose Tipso for quick jQuery integration, Tippy for broader compatibility.

Question 3

Can Tipso load tooltip content from an API dynamically?

Accepted Answer

Yes, use the 'ajaxContentUrl' option to specify a URL, and Tipso will fetch and display the content on hover, with configurable buffer timing via 'ajaxContentBuffer' to manage requests efficiently.

Question 4

How to make Tipso tooltips work on mobile touch screens?

Accepted Answer

Tipso is responsive by default, but for touch devices, ensure hover events are handled; you can use the 'tooltipHover' option set to false or implement custom touch event listeners, as it relies on jQuery hover events which may not translate directly to touch.

Question 5

Is Tipso still maintained and updated?

Accepted Answer

The GitHub repo shows activity with Travis CI builds and npm updates, but as a jQuery-based plugin, it may not see frequent feature additions compared to newer vanilla JS alternatives—check the issue tracker for recent updates.

Question 6

How to destroy a Tipso tooltip to clean up resources?

Accepted Answer

Call the 'destroy' method via the API, e.g., $('.tipso').tipso('destroy'), which removes event listeners and DOM elements, helping prevent memory leaks in dynamic applications.
