JavaScript/jQuery Bullet - tooltip

The tooltip is displayed outside the UI component's container. If you plan to use the tooltip, make sure there is enough space around your UI component to display it. For example, you can apply a margin to the UI component's container to reserve the area around the UI component for the tooltip.
