qTips are stylish tooltips that can be configured and styled (more to come in later releases) to fit nearly any website's design.

Drupal 7.x The 7.x-1.5 stable release provides the same functionality as the 6.x-2.x-dev release. The 7.x-2.0 release (currently in development) has more advanced features, like modal tooltips, tooltip content via ajax request, and the ability to change settings per tooltip with span tags. See the /qtip-examples page when you install the module to learn how to use these new features.
NOTE: This module uses a pre-release of version 2 of the qTip jQuery plugin. The plugin developer (Craig Thompson) recently stated on the qTip2 forums that a stable release of version 2 will be available soon. Anecdotally, the current release of the plugin seems very stable.
NOTE: For the Drupal 7 version of the module you no longer have to download the qTip jQuery plugin separately as the new qTip jQuery plugin is now dual-licensed under GPL. Once the 6.x branch of this module is updated to version 2 of the qTip jQuery plugin this will be the case as well.

Drupal 6.x - This module currently uses version 1 of the qTip jQuery plugin, which is no longer being developed. I am waiting for version 2 to become stable before I incorporate it into this module. In the meantime this module should still work just fine with version 1... you can still download it via the instructions below and in README.txt. Please feel free to continue to post issues, as this may help speed the process up for the version 2 release!
Also, the qTip jQuery plugin now requires jQuery 1.4, so version 2 of this module will have to wait until jQuery Update module releases the 1.4 version of the jQuery jQuery plugin. Follow #685060: Get ready for 1.4 for more information on a timeline for getting jQuery updated to 1.4 in Drupal 6.
Current Features - Drupal 6.x Beta Release and Drupal 7.x Stable Release
- Choose position of tooltip
- Choose width of tooltip border **Note: This feature is being dropped in qTip 2.0. It is suggested to use CSS to accomplish changing the width once 2.0 of this module is released.
- Choose whether tooltip has rounded corners or not (squared).
- Choose from 6 color schemes ** Drupal 7 users can create a custom CSS class and create your own color scheme.
- Choose how the tooltip is activated, whether it is shown on hover or click.
- Choose how the tooltip is hidden, whether it is upon leaving the link text or by clicking.
- Choose whether only one tooltip can be shown at a time or not.

This module should work well, but please do proper tests before using on production site.
Special thanks to Craig, creator of the qTip jQuery plugin.
