jQuery lightweight tooltip script recommendation

javascript jquery tooltip imagemap
Mark picture Mark · Jan 7, 2010 · Viewed 10.4k times · Source

I am looking for a lightweight jQuery script for tooltips that is lightweight and can be easily used with image maps... Ideally it would automatically take the 'title' of each the area tag to function as a tooltip. The reason this is an issue is I have hundreds of areas (its a world map) and a line of code for each tooltip will soon add up in file size.

qTip can do this... but its 38kb... which is more than even jQuery itself. Any recommendations?
