# tippy.css
## Pure CSS tooltips.
Create tooltips with ease, without JavaScript.

### How to use

First, include the stylesheet at the top of your page.

```html

```

For the simplest case, add the property `data-tippy` to an element with your tooltip text as the value. You can do this to links, spans, divs, and even buttons. (Well, in most browsers. We'll get to that.)

```html
...
...
...

...

```

### Tooltip positions

By default, tooltips appear below the element to which they belong. By including the `data-tippy-pos` property, you can control how they appear. There are four potential values: "up", "down", "left", and "right".

```html

```

### Special animations

The tooltips don't have much by way of default animation. They fade in, but that's it. There are two optional animation types, however. Include the `data-tippy-animate` property and one of two values, "slide" or "bubble".

### Browser support

Tippy.css has been tested in Internet Explorer 9-11 and the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Edge (yay Windows 10 Insider program), Vivaldi (my browser of choice), and Safari.

### Known issues

* Tooltips are created by using the `::before` and `::after` pseudo-elements, so tooltips on any element that doesn't have those, like images or input fields, won't appear.

You can work around this by wrapping the element in a span or a div, though, like this:

```html




```

* If your stylesheet is using pseudo-elements on certain elements, you will run into conflicts. This will result in weird behavior or non-working tooltips.

* HTML inside tooltips will not work, so don't even try.

* Tooltips don't work on `` elements in Internet Explorer. I don't know why. :/

* The bubble animation uses the `clip-path` property, and (as of this writing) only works in Chrome, Vivaldi, and Safari.

* Tooltips on links that underline on hover get underlined in Edge.

* Tooltips on buttons get included in the focus outline.
You can override this behavior with this code:
```css
button[data-tippy]:focus {
outline: none;
}
```
I won't include this code in the stylesheet, however. Removing the button's outline will remove its accessibility, so think carefully before you implement this.
