# Hint.css [v1.3.5] *A tooltip library in CSS for your lovely websites* `hint.css` is written as a pure CSS resource using which you can create cool tooltips for your web app. It does not rely on JavaScript and rather uses **data-* attribute**, **pseudo elements**, **content property** and **CSS3 transitions** to create the tooltips. Also it uses **BEM** naming convention particularly for the modifiers. [Read more about it](http://kushagragour.in/blog/2013/02/years-first-side-project-hint/). ### Try it out: http://kushagragour.in/lab/hint/ If you find this useful and want to show some love & encouragement, I am on [Gittip](https://www.gittip.com/chinchang/). ## Get Started Get the library using one of the following ways: 1. **Github** Full build - [unminified] : https://raw.github.com/chinchang/hint.css/master/hint.css - [minified] : https://raw.github.com/chinchang/hint.css/master/hint.min.css Base build *(Does not include color themes and fancy effects)* - [unminified] : https://raw.github.com/chinchang/hint.css/master/hint.base.css - [minified] : https://raw.github.com/chinchang/hint.css/master/hint.base.min.css 2. **Bower** ``` bower install hint.css ``` 3. **npm** ``` npm install --save hint.css ``` 4. **CDN** [http://www.jsdelivr.com/#!hint.css](http://www.jsdelivr.com/#!hint.css) Now include the library in the *HEAD* of your page: ```html <link rel="stylesheet" href="hint.css"></link> ``` or ```html <link rel="stylesheet" href="hint.min.css"></link> ``` Any element on your page which needs to have a tooltip has to be given at least one of the position classes: `hint--top`, `hint--bottom`, `hint--left`, `hint--right` to position the tooltip. ```html Hello Sir, <span class="hint--bottom">hover me.</span> ``` The tooltip text needs to be given using the `data-hint` attribute on that element. ```html Hello Sir, <span class="hint--bottom" data-hint="Thank you!">hover me.</span> ``` [ **Note**: The `hint` class is no more required and is deprecated. Tooltip is shown on elements which have the `data-hint` attribute instead.] Use it with other available modifiers in various combinations. Available modifiers: - `hint--error` - `hint--info` - `hint--warning` - `hint--success` - `hint--always` - `hint--rounded` - `hint--no-animate` - `hint--bounce` ## Changing the prefix for class names Don't like BEM naming (`hint--`) or want to use your own prefix for the class names? Simply update `src/hint-variables.scss` and change the `$prefix` variable.
