jQuery Help Popups

Simple help messages for your users

• Show lightweight messages to users on top of the interface.
• Can be used for notifications about new features or updates or for first-use tutorials.
• Just provide title and content - popup will auto-position itself next to selected element.

How it works

• Notification popup tooltip bubble appears near page element with title and content
• Popup remembers if user has closed it and will not be shown again (information stored in a cookie)
• You can control specific positioning if needed
• Look and feel is customizable through provided CSS

Usage example

// Just title and content
$(selector).help(title, content); 

// JSON notation for controlling exact position
$(selector).help({
     title: 'Title', 
     content: 'Content', 
     position: 'top', 
     offset: '20px -5px'
});
