<p>Tooltip replaces native tooltips, making them themable as well as allowing various customizations:</p>
<ul>
<li>Display other content than just the title, like inline footnotes or extra content retrieved via Ajax.</li>
<li>Customize the positioning, e.g., to center the tooltip above elements.</li>
<li>Add extra styling to customize the appearance, for warning or error fields.</li>
</ul>
<p>A fade animation is used by default to show and hide the tooltip, making the appearance a bit more organic, compared to just toggling the visiblity. This can be customized with the <a href="#option-show"><code>show</code></a> and <a href="#option-hide"><code>hide</code></a> options.</p>
<p>The <a href="#option-items"><code>items</code></a> and <a href="#option-content"><code>content</code></a> options need to stay in-sync. If you change one of them, you need to change the other.</p>
<p>In general, disabled elements do not trigger any DOM events. Therefore, it is not possible to properly control tooltips for disabled elements, since we need to listen to events to determine when to show and hide the tooltip. As a result, jQuery UI does not guarantee any level of support for tooltips attached to disabled elements. Unfortunately, this means that if you require tooltips on disabled elements, you may end up with a mixture of native tooltips and jQuery UI tooltips.</p>

This widget requires some functional CSS, otherwise it won't work. If you build a custom theme, use the widget's specific CSS file as a starting point.

<div>If and how to animate the hiding of the tooltip.</div>
<strong>Multiple types supported:</strong><ul>
<li>
<strong>Boolean</strong>:
When set to <code>false</code>, no animation will be used and the tooltip will be hidden immediately.
When set to <code>true</code>, the tooltip will fade out with the default duration and the default easing.

<strong>Number</strong>:
The tooltip will fade out with the specified duration and the default easing.

The tooltip will be hidden using the specified effect.
The value can either be the name of a built-in jQuery animateion method, such as <code>"slideUp"</code>, or the name of a jQuery UI effect, such as <code>"fold"</code>.
In either case the effect will be used with the default duration and the default easing.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Object</strong>: If the value is an object, then <code>effect</code>, <code>duration</code>, and <code>easing</code> properties may be provided. If the <code>effect</code> property contains the name of a jQuery method, then that method will be used; otherwise it is assumed to be the name of a jQuery UI effect. When using a jQuery UI effect that supports additional settings, you may include those settings in the object and they will be passed to the effect. If <code>duration</code> or <code>easing</code> is omitted, then the default values will be used. If <code>effect</code> is omitted, then <code>"fadeOut"</code> will be used.</li>
