If you implement this in the overall design, I can go through and add context sensitive tool tips where they make sense, makes for a much more user friendly app in my opinion.
We already have tooltips support in jqueryui (http://api.jqueryui.com/tooltip/) which is anyway there for the sliders and a few other elements already. So wont need t use Nick's
I've pushed a commit to initialise tooltips in main.js for the entire DOM
That means ANY element that you think needs a tooltip just has to get a title="tooltip here!"
For example, say we have the file open button?
<span class="btn btn-default btn-file"><i class="fa fa-folder-open fa-fw"></i>Open<input id="file" type="file" accept=".png,.jpg,.jpeg,.bmp,.gcode,.g,.svg,.dxf,.stl" /></span>
Lets add a toolip to the btn
<span class="btn btn-default btn-file" title="Open a file"><i class="fa fa-folder-open fa-fw"></i>Open<input id="file" type="file" accept=".png,.jpg,.jpeg,.bmp,.gcode,.g,.svg,.dxf,.stl" /></span>
See 80ada0d for the example (:
You can add title="something" to any thing you think needs a tooltip (in its most simple form. With jqueryui we can have fancy in/out effects too. but in default it looks good enough)
Thanks Peter, I will start adding them where I think they will help. Didn't realize that jqueryui had the ability for tool tips. Learn something new everyday working with you. Slowly my coding skills are coming back.
