Tippy – what a fantstic little plugin. Took me 2 days to find a suitable one and
this is it! All I wanted was the ability to hover over a hyperlink and have a small
preview image pop-up. It’s brilliant. Highly recommended. Thank you.

This is the best tooltip plugin for customization. I wanted to add tooltip images
within tablepress cells and this worked like a charm.
