You can't add a class to the cftooltip tag itself. Personally, I wouldn't use the CF UI tags. You'll get more control using any of the many tooltip jQuery plugins out there. That said
You can always add a style inline using the style attribute. I assume there's a reason you're not doing that. Use Google Developer Tools to see the actual HTML rendered by CF and JavaScript (View source only shows you the HTML, not the rendered DOM). By doing this, I saw (in CF10): tooltip is in a div with class of yui-tt, so you can do something like the following: <style> .yui-tt {background:blue;} </style> Of course, this would be global. Multiple tooltips, each with their own style? The text you hover over is enclosed in a span, with an id of cf_tooltip_(somerandomid). The tooltip itself is in a div with the span's id appended with "_cf_tooltip". Wrapping <cftooltip> with a div makes it easy to perform specific tasks on that tooltip: <div id="gotcha"> <cftooltip autoDismissDelay="5000" hideDelay="250" showDelay="200" tooltip="Hey I am a tooltip generated by CF!"> Hover over me please </cftooltip> </div> Then use jQuery to act on it and set a class: (assuming you've setup .redbg in your CSS) <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.3.min.js"></script> <script> $(function() { $('#gotcha').mouseover(function(){ el = $(this).find('span[id^=cf_tooltip_]'); tooltipId=el.attr('id')+'_cf_tooltip'; $('#'+tooltipId).addClass('redbg'); }); }); </script> Problem: the tooltip div isn't created until it's called the first time, so the first time, it'll have the default style. May be a way to cancel the mouseover event the first time, set the class, and then re-fire.
