Plugin for jQuery Mobile to create a tooltip for slider controls

slider.tooltip.js

(function( $, undefined ) {

$.widget( "mobile.slider", $.mobile.slider, {
  options: {
		popupEnabled: false,
		showValue: false
	},

	_create: function() {
		var o = this.options,
			popup = $( "<div></div>", {
				class: "ui-slider-popup ui-shadow ui-corner-all ui-body-" + ( o.theme ? o.theme : $.mobile.getInheritedTheme( this.element, "c" ) )
			});

		this._super();

		$.extend( this, {
			_currentValue: null,
			_popup: popup,
			_popupVisible: false,
			_handleText: this.handle.find( ".ui-btn-text" )
		});

		this.slider.before( popup );
		popup.hide();

		this._on( this.handle, { "vmousedown" : "_showPopup" } );
		this._on( this.slider.add( $.mobile.document ), { "vmouseup" : "_hidePopup" } );
		this._refresh();
	},

	// position the popup centered 5px above the handle
	_positionPopup: function() {
		var dstOffset = this.handle.offset();
		this._popup.offset( {
			left: dstOffset.left + ( this.handle.width() - this._popup.width() ) / 2,
			top: dstOffset.top - this._popup.outerHeight() - 5
		});
	},

	_setOption: function( key, value ) {
		this._super( key, value );

		if ( key === "showValue" ) {
			if ( value ) {
				this._handleText.html( this._value() ).show();
			} else {
				this._handleText.hide();
			}
		}
	},

	// show value on the handle and in popup
	refresh: function() {
		this._super.apply( this, arguments );

		// necessary because slider's _create() calls refresh(), and that lands
		// here before our own _create() has even run
		if ( !this._popup ) {
			return;
		}

		this._refresh();
	},

	_refresh: function() {
		var o = this.options, newValue;

		if ( o.popupEnabled ) {
			// remove the title attribute from the handle (which is
			// responsible for the annoying tooltip); NB we have
			// to do it here as the jqm slider sets it every time
			// the slider's value changes :(
			this.handle.removeAttr( 'title' );
		}

		newValue = this._value();
		if ( newValue === this._currentValue ) {
			return;
		}
		this._currentValue = newValue;

		if ( o.popupEnabled ) {
			this._positionPopup();
			this._popup.html( newValue );
		}

		if ( o.showValue ) {
			this._handleText.html( newValue );
		}
	},

	_showPopup: function() {
		if ( this.options.popupEnabled && !this._popupVisible ) {
			this._handleText.hide();
			this._popup.show();
			this._positionPopup();
			this._popupVisible = true;
		}
	},

	_hidePopup: function() {
		if ( this.options.popupEnabled && this._popupVisible ) {
			this._handleText.show();
			this._popup.hide();
			this._popupVisible = false;
		}
	}
});

})( jQuery );

Hi Lalitha,
I have the same issue.

Have you managed to solve this?
Thanks,
