Wordpress Tooltip/popups


Question

Hi,

I require a tooltip popup for my site which will allow me to highlight certain words and popup a small window with a translation/description in along with an image. I'm using wordpress and i've been through most of the available plugins but none do exactly what I want.

I am open to using jquery/ajax whatever if it can integrate well into wordpress without too much messing about.

so far i've looked at TooltipGlossary,Kas tooltip,tippy

I quite like the look of Qtip. Has anyone had any success implementing with wordpress (latest)?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Were you looking to for something like using a [shortcode]? I know that elegantthemes includes this with their themes and you can see an example here.

You could probably toss something together by making your own shortcodes + functions.php. This might not be as pretty as a plugin but it would do the trick. :)

You could do [tooltip id=5] and it might show up as like <a href="#" rel="This is what the tooltip popup bubble is going to have">This is what the tooltip popup bubble is going to have</a> or something? :).

Try this: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jr-qtip-for-wordpress/

Seems someone has already written a plugin for Wordpress to handle this. Hope that helps :)
