Jörn and Olivier,
Thanks so much for the feedback!
One cool thing is that the tooltip is being positioned out of the
position of the hovered element
rather than attached to the mouse cursor position.
That is a sooo much more cleaner result IMO.
Olivier, glad you like the positioning. I spent a lot of time trying
to figure out where to put the clueTip, and there are still a couple
edge cases that I think I could refine a bit. Actually, it does get
positioned relative to the mouse position as a fallback -- if the
clueTip is attached to a block-level element or to an element so wide
that the clueTip wouldn't be able to fit either to the right or to
the left of it.
About sticky tooltips: I'd find it much handier to be able to click
anywhere outside the tooltip to close it, instead of a tiny close
link.
I definitely see your point there. I'll add that to the to-do list.
I'd even consider replacing the close-link alltogether: The user
then has to find out how to close it, which could be ugly, but most
likely he will try to click either the tooltip or outside of out,
therefore very quickly learning how to close it. That may be worth
to avoid that he ever bothers with the close-link when he doesn't
have to.
Not sure I'd want to get rid of the Close link altogether, but I'll
give it some thought.
For hoverIntent integration: You could pass through
defaults.hoverIntent when calling it. That'd force you to seperate
the call to hover and hoverIntent, but may be worth it.
I thought that's what I was doing, but I'm probably misunderstanding
what you're saying. If you don't mind elaborating on this one, I'd
love to hear it.
I hope the pngfix plugin is ready soon enough, currently its undo
method is broken for background-images.
me too! for now, though, I think the png fix that I've implemented
(taken and stripped down from your excellent tooltips plugin) works
well enough.
Funny to see that jquery.cluetip.js is exactly one line less then
the latest jquery.tooltip.js :-)
Cool!
Speaking of lines/file size -- I wrote tons of inline documentation,
so I hope the uncompressed file size (13.5kb) doesn't scary people
off. If you strip out all the comments, it gets quite small (4.9kb)
and packing it with Dean Edwards's Packer makes it smaller still
(3.3kb). (Man, i've got to learn how to use that automated Ant stuff!)

Yep, that is really cool.
