<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery.min.js"></script>

<!-- Include jBox -->
<link href="jBox.all.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="jBox.all.js"></script>

2. Create a tooltip for an element.

// Tooltip above and centered, this is the default setting
$('.demo').jBox('Tooltip');

3. Create a default notification.

function demoNoticeDefault() {
  new jBox('Notice', {
    content: 'I\'m up here!'
  });
}

4. Create a draggable modal window.

new jBox('Modal', {
  attach: $('#modalDragOnTitle'),
  width: 200,
  title: 'jBox',
  overlay: false,
  content: 'Drag me around by using the title',
  draggable: 'title',
  repositionOnOpen: false,
  repositionOnContent: false
});

// Content
content: null,               // You can use HTML or a jQuery element, e.g. jQuery('#jBox-content'). The elements will be appended to the content element and then made visible, so hide them with style="display: none" beforehand

  y: 'center'                // Vertical position, use a number, 'top', 'bottom' or 'center'

outside: null,               // Use 'x', 'y', or 'xy' to move your jBox outside of the target element
offset: 0,                   // Offset to final position, you can set different values for x and y with an object, e.g. {x: 20, y: 10}

// Pointer
pointer: false,              // Your pointer will always point towards the target element, so the option outside needs to be 'x' or 'y'. By default the pointer is centered, set a position to move it to any side. You can also add an offset, e.g. 'left:30' or 'center:-20'
pointTo: 'target',           // Setting something else than 'target' will add a pointer even if there is no target element set or found. Use 'top', 'right', 'bottom' or 'left'

animation: null,             // Animation when opening or closing, use 'pulse', 'zoomIn', 'zoomOut', 'move', 'slide', 'flip', 'tada' (CSS inspired from Daniel Edens Animate.css: http://daneden.me/animate)

delayClose: 0,               // Delay closing in ms. Nnote that there is always a closing delay of at least 10ms to ensure jBox won't be closed when opening right away

// Closing
closeOnEsc: false,           // Close jBox when pressing [esc] key
closeOnClick: false,         // Close jBox with mouseclick. Use true (click anywhere), 'box' (click on jBox itself), 'overlay' (click on the overlay), 'body' (click anywhere but jBox)
closeOnMouseleave: false,    // Close jBox when the mouse leaves the jBox area or the area of the attached element
closeButton: false,          // Adds a close button to your jBox. Use 'title', 'box', 'overlay' or true (true will add the button to the overlay, title or the jBox itself, in that order if any of those elements can be found)
