R Help tooltips

I created a simple jquery plugin to display some information when hovering links to r documentation files hosted at help.r-enthusiasts.com

Below is a snapshot from highlight.r-enthusiasts.com that uses the tooltips:

See also a live example here: data.frame

Using this feature is simple. You need to include jquery and the r_tooltip plugin like this:

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.0/jquery.min.js"></script><script src="//help.r-enthusiasts.com/tooltip/js/jquery.r_tooltip.js"></script><link rel='stylesheet' href='//help.r-enthusiasts.com/tooltip/css/r_tooltip.css'>

And that’s it, all links similar to

<a href="http://help.r-enthusiasts.com/library/base/html/data.frame.html">data.frame</a>

will get a nice tooltip showing extra information.
