Use the tooltip as a callout Created Nov 2, 2009

Apologies if this has already been posted but...
I'm trying to use the tooltip tool as a callout on my web page. What I would like is my tooltip to open after a delay on my page, and then close a few seconds later.

Looking over the documentation, here are some features which I think would have helped me do this:

- Ability to remove all events. I only want my tooltip to appear/disappear when I say so in my code.

example:

        $(<trigger>).tooltip({
            events: 
            {
              def: "null,null",
              input: "null,null",
              widget: "null,null",
              tooltip: "null,null"
            }
        });

- add a delay to the .show() and .hide() methods. this way I can call the .show(<delay>), and in the .onShow() event I can call the .hide(<delay>) method.

  var api = $(<trigger>).tooltip(0);
  api.show(1000);
  api.onShow(function(){
    api.hide(1000);
   });

If it's possible to do the above with the existing code, I'd really appreciate some hints.

Thanks in advance!
