dreamyTip, a jQuery tooltip plugin(comming soon)

As I have announced a few days ago on Twitter(by the way, if you want to follow me, here is my user:@andres_314, the only thing is that I usually write in Spanish and not many important things). Two weeks ago, I was working on a web project and I needed to use a tooltip to show some comments from the users of the site. As I was already using jQuery in the project, I decided to search a plugin to help me with that task. But after being spending a lot of time searching something useful for the project without success, decided to do my own plug-in. I couldn’ t find one with the options that the project require. The next day I made one after a couple of hours, with the basic stuff I was needing at the moment. Although, I made it with a lot of options thinking in a future development, open for the comunity. In this version you can choose the basic effect that jQuery offer for animations without the UI library, swing and linear. The speed of the animation and add some callbaks to use when the tooltip appear and disappear too.

The idea for the future is that you will able to choose the event that fire the tooltip and others features like the tooltip orientation.
You can try the basic demo of the dreamy tooltip here and download it here. If you just want JavaScript file download it here.
