Hi, Dear users of wordpress tooltip , hope you are doing well and having happy days with your family 🙂 A user said his wordpress tooltip popup window would close abnormally under certain circumstances, and he gave us screenshots. We repeated the experiment on our own site, but it worked fine on our end. After consulting with our users, we thought a solution would be to close the popup window when the user clicks anywhere out of the popup window in the wordpress tooltip, which is why we developed this new version — wordpress tooltip pro plus plugin 19.6.8. 🙂
Yes, a tooltip is a small box that displays additional information on a web page, usually when the user hovers over an element with a prompt message. Although tooltip was not an early invention of the Internet, its use in Web applications and Web sites has been around for a long time.
According to reliable sources, tooltip first appeared in operating systems, where it was called “Balloon Help”. This feature was first introduced by Apple in 1991 to provide users with help information in the Macintosh operating system. In the Windows operating system, it is called “ToolTip” and first appeared in Windows 95.
With the rise of web applications, tooltip became widely used on web pages. According to some reliable sources, the use of tooltip in web applications dates back to around 2000. For example, early JavaScript libraries such as Prototype and jQuery included tooltip plugins that helped web developers easily add hints to their websites.
In summary, although tooltip was not an early invention of the Internet, it has become one of the commonly used features on Web applications and Web sites and has been used extensively throughout the history of the Internet.
