Or clone from:

Usage:

Copy the contents of src/{javascripts,stylesheets} to the corresponding asset directories in your project.

Insert the neccesary elements in your document's <head> section, e.g.:

 <script type='text/javascript' src='/javascripts/jquery.tipsy.js'></script>
 <link rel="stylesheet" href="/stylesheets/tipsy.css" type="text/css" />

Remember to include jquery.tipsy.js after including the main jQuery library.

Initialise Tipsy in your document.onload, e.g.:

 <script type='text/javascript'>
  $(function() {
    $('a[rel=tipsy]').tipsy({fade: true, gravity: 'n'});
  });
 </script>

Since jQuery 1.9, 'live' tipsy expects selector as live option, e.g:

    $(document).tipsy({
        live: '.live-tooltip'
    });

Shadow:

You can add shadow to Tipsy like this :

<script type='text/javascript'>
     $(function() {
     $('a[rel=tipsy]').tipsy({fade: true, gravity: 'n', shadow: true, shadowBlur: 10, shadowOpacity: 1, shadowSpread: 1});
   });
</script>
