TooltipGlossary WordPress Plugin
Parses posts for defined glossary terms and adds links to the static glossary page containing the definition and a tooltip with the definition.
Parses posts for defined glossary terms and adds links to the static glossary page containing the definition. The plugin also creates a tooltip containing the definition which is displayed when users mouseover the term. Based on automatic-glossary.
The code has been optimised from automatic-glossary and unnecessary code has been stripped to keep the plugin lean. However, support for php 4 has been removed and if you are looking for a php 4 glossary, please do download automatic-glossary (although I believe there is a little extra tweaking required).
The tooltip is created with JavaScript based on the article written by Michael Leigeber automatic definitions glossary pages posts tooltip
