Custom Tooltip Follows Mouse Cursor - jQuery YACSSTooltip

Yet another jQuery tooltip plugin to create tooltip overlays using alt or title attributes that always follow the cursor on mouse move.

How to use it:

1. Insert the JavaScript file jquery.YACSSTooltip.min.js after jQuery library before you close the body tag.

<script src="/path/to/cdn/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="/path/to/src/jquery.YACSSTooltip.js"></script>

2. Define the tooltip content in the alt or title attributes.

<img alt="Tooltip Content Here" 
     src="1.jpg"
>

3. Attach the plugin to the img tag and done.

$(function() {
  $('img').addTooltip();
});

4. Override the default tooltip styles in the CSS.

.YACSSTooltip {
  border: 1px solid #333; 
  background-color: #161616; 
  border-radius: 5px; 
  padding: 5px 0; 
  color: #fff; 
  font-size: 12px Arial;
  max-width: 250px;
  line-break: auto;
  word-break: normal;
  word-spacing: 0px;
  white-space: normal;
  text-align: center;
  verflow-wrap: normal;
}
