Examples
Inspired by the excellent jQuery.tipsy plugin written by Jason Frame; Tooltips are an updated version, which don't rely on images, use CSS3 for animations, and data-attributes for local title storage.
For performance reasons, the tooltip and popover data-apis are opt in, meaning you must initialize them yourself.

Four directions
Tooltips in input groups
When using tooltips and popovers with the Bootstrap input groups, you'll have to set the container (documented below) option to avoid unwanted side effects.
Usage
Trigger the tooltip via JavaScript:
- $('#example').tooltip(options)
