• Overlib is one of the first popular javascript libraries.
  • It's not too hard to use jQuery to make overlib easier to use. Two of my own pages that do this are [1] [2]

• jQuery-specific ones
  • HOVER INTENT — not a tooltip by itself, but IMHO should be the basis of all tooptip plugins
    • BeautyTips uses HoverIntent
  • qtip
  • tooltip — blah.... it requires you to have a differently-sized image for every possible size of tooltip that you'd want

    • (see below for my tweaks)
  • cluetip
  • 30 more
