..:: Getting Started

Include the relevant files

Firstly include jQuery and the progression.css and progress.js files. Place these before </head> section

<link href='progression.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://s3.pstatp.com/cdn/expire-1-M/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="progression.js"></script>

						
Create a form

You must give your form a unique ID. You then need to add a data attribute of data-progression to each element that needs to be a step in the form progression.

The helper text for the tooltip can be set by adding data-helper to the element. This is demonstrated below


<form id="myform">

    <p>

    	<label for="">Name</label> 

    	<input data-progression="" type="text" data-helper="Help users through forms by prividing helpful hinters" name="name" value="" placeholder="" />

    </p>

  </form>



						
Initiate the plugin

Once you have created your form you will need to initiate the plugin.

At its most basic level you can initiate the plugin like:


$(document).ready(function ($) {



    $("#myform").progression();



});

						

If you want to initiate the plugin with options then you can do so like:


$("#myform").progression({

        tooltipWidth: '200',

        tooltipPosition: 'right',

        tooltipOffset: '50',

        showProgressBar: true,

        showHelper: true,

        tooltipFontSize: '14',

        tooltipFontColor: 'fff',

        progressBarBackground: 'fff',

        progressBarColor: '6EA5E1',

        tooltipBackgroundColor: 'a2cbfa',

        tooltipPadding: '10',

        tooltipAnimate: true

    });
