      <h1>BeautyTips Demo</h1>
      <p><img src="graphic-canvas-util-beautytips-demofiles-logo.png" alt="BeautyTips" width="240" height="200" style="float:right;margin-left:10px;margin-bottom:5px" />BeautyTips is a jQuery tooltips plugin which uses the canvas drawing
        element
        in the HTML5 spec in order to dynamically draw tooltips (sometimes called &quot;talk bubbles&quot; or &quot;help balloons&quot;)
        associated with a html element on the page. These tips are highly configurable and can be triggered in many different ways.</p>
      <p> The canvas element is supported in modern versions of FireFox, Safari,
        and Opera. However, Internet Explorer needs a separate library called ExplorerCanvas
        included on the page in order to support canvas drawing functions. <a href="http://excanvas.sourceforge.net/">ExplorerCanvas</a>
        was created by Google for use with their web apps and you can find it <a href="http://excanvas.sourceforge.net/">here</a>.</p>
      <p>BeautyTips was written to be simple to use and pretty. All of its options
        are documented at the bottom of the .js file and defaults can be overwritten
        globally for the entire page, or individually for each target element (more about this in the wrapup section).</p>
      <p>BeautyTips has been tested with jQuery 1.2.6 and 1.3 on Firefox 3.x, Safari 3.x (also works on iPhone!), IE 6.x+, and Opera 8+, but I'm sure other canvas-capable browsers will work as well.</p>
      <p> By default each tooltip will be positioned on the side of the target
        element
        which has the most free space. This is affected by the scroll position
        and
        size of the current window, so each Beauty Tip is redrawn each time it
        is
        displayed. It may appear above an element at the bottom of the page, but
        when
        the page is scrolled down (and the element is at the top of the page) it
        will appear below it. Additionally, positions can be forced or a preferred
        order can be defined. See examples below.</p>
      <h2>Project Page and Download</h2>
      <p>BeautyTips has <a href="http://plugins.jquery.com/project/bt">a page</a> in the plugins directory on jQuery.com. This is where you can download the latest version. It is also the best place to post bugs and feature requests.</p>
      <p><a href="http://plugins.jquery.com/project/bt">http://plugins.jquery.com/project/bt></p>
      <h2>Other helpful plugins</h2>
      <p>To fix z-index problems with form elements in IE6, include the <a href="http://plugins.jquery.com/project/bgiframe">bgiframe plugin</a> on your page. BeautyTips will automatically
        recognize it and use it.</p>
      <p>BeautyTips also works with the <a href="http://cherne.net/brian/resources/jquery.hoverIntent.html">hoverIntent plugin</a>
        see hoverIntent example below for usage.</p>
      <h2>Usage</h2>
        <p>The function can be called in a number of ways.<br>
        <code>selector.bt();</code><br>
        <code>selector.bt('Content text');</code><br>
        <code>selector.bt('Content text', {option1: value, option2: value});</code><br>
        <code>selector.bt({option1: value, option2: value});</code></p>
      <h2>Examples</h2>
      <p><small>Note: html and javascript textareas are live. Feel free to experiment with the code and see how BeautyTips are affected.</small></p>

      <p>This is  the simplest example. No arguments are sent and the default settings

      <div class="desc">
      <p>This example uses the contentSelector attribute to determine where the content comes from. In this case the selector is <code>this.attr('href')</code> and the content is the href attribute of the hovered link. Other options define a red balloon with bold white text. The box will be a variable width up to 400px ("width: 'auto' in cssStyles makes text box shrink-to-fit) with rounded corners. The script will try to position the box to the left, then to the right, and finally it will place it on the bottom if it does not fit elsewhere.</p>

      <div class="desc">
      <p>There are four different functions which can be triggered at different points in the lifetime of a beautyTip: preShow, postShow, preHide, and postHide.</p>
      <p>In this example, a function is triggered to change the content of the
        target element before the tip is shown. After the tip is hidden, another
        function changes the content back. <code>this</code> in these function refers to the target element. These functions could be used for just about anything.</p>

      <p>When the BeautyTip is active, an additional class is added to the target
        element. This class, called &quot;activeClass&quot;, can be defined when calling
        the bt() function. Additionally, each BeautyTip popup has a wrapper div
        which surrounds its content. The class on this div is also definable.</p>
      <p>Note that the BeautyTip &quot;balloon&quot; itself is drawn as a bitmap using canvas
        methods and functions similar to an &lt;img&gt; element, so it can not be affected
        by CSS. There are many options for changing this element using JavaScript
        options though.</p>

          <p>Images can be loaded into the BeautyTip. You should, however, add width and height attributes (or use CSS for this) so that the browser will know what size to "save space for" as the image loads.</p>
          <p>This example also uses some special triggers so that the tip appears on mouseover, but disappears using click. BeautyTips' default clickAnywhereToClose option also allows the user to click anywhere in the document (outside of the tip) in order to close it. This can be disabled either globally or per tip.</p>

      <div class="desc">
      <p>The trigger is what causes the tip to appear/disappear. The default option
        is 'hover', which will trigger the tip when the mouse hovers over an element.
        If the <a href="http://cherne.net/brian/resources/jquery.hoverIntent.html">hoverintent</a> plugin
        is installed (as on this page), that will become the default trigger and
        there will be slight (but configurable) delay before the tip appears.</p>
      <p>In this example, the trigger  events for this textfield are 'focus' and
        'blur'. This means that the tip will get triggered even if the user uses
        the tab key to enter/leave this form field.</p>

      <p>In this example, 'keyup' triggers the display of the tip while 'blur'
        removes it. This means that the tip won't appear until the user actually
        changes the field (using the keyboard).</p>
      <p>The full list of trigger events are: <code>blur, focus, load, resize,
          scroll, unload, click, dblclick, mousedown, mouseup, mousemove, mouseover,
          mouseout, mouseenter, mouseleave, change, select, submit, keydown, keypress,
          keyup,</code> and <code>error</code>. However not all events are available for all elements (see: <a href="http://docs.jquery.com/Events">events documentation</a>). </p>

        event gets triggered when a user hovers over an element. In this example,
        the <code>interval</code> has been cranked up to 1 second, so the user
        needs to hover for almost a second before the tip appears. The timeout
        has been raised to 2 seconds so the tip will remain visible for that long

      <p>Drop shadows are part of the canvas spec, but they are not implemented by many browsers. Drop shadows currently only work in Safari and Firefox 3.1 and higher. Eventually I would like to create canvas-drawn drop shadows that should work in all browsers, but for the time being, keep in mind that these won't work in all browsers. However, for these browsers define "no shadow options" (noShadowOpts) to define how the tip should be displayed if shadows aren't supported.</p>

      <h2>Options</h2>
      <p>A full list of options can be found at the bottom of the <a href="../jquery.bt.js" type="text/plain">jquery.bt.js</a> file itself. Scroll to the bottom of the file to see the list of options along with their default values and a short descriptions of what each one does.</p>
      <p>These defaults can be overridden during each call to the .bt() function (as in the examples above) or they can be overridden globally for all BeautyTips on the page. For instance, to change the ajax loading content for all BeautyTips on the page, you could insert the following code into your document's &lt;head&gt; (somewhere after &lt;script src=&quot;jquery.bt.js&quot;...):<br />
      <blockquote><code>&lt;script language="JavaScript"&gt;<br/>
      jQuery.bt.defaults.ajaxLoading = '&lt;img src="/images/throbber.gif" width="40" height="40" /&gt;';<br />
      jQuery.bt.defaults.closeWhenOthersOpen = true;<br />
      &lt;/script&gt;</code></blockquote>
