ha! you figured it out before I sent my last note. nice work!
As for positioning it above or below ... I kind of like that idea.
I'll see what I can do. I don't necessarily want that to be the
default if the tip will fit either to the right or to the left. But
if it can't fit on either side, then maybe centering it below or
above the mouse position would be nice.
Hmm. Thinking out loud here. What should happen if there isn't enough
vertical space either? I can't have it overlap the linked element,
because then you would get a repeating flicker of the tip (unless
it's "sticky") as the link would be "unhovered" by the tip contents,
making the tip close, which would then make the link "hovered" again,
etc. etc. Any thoughts?

Hi, Karl… thanks for the reply.
I figured out the problem… nothing’s broken.
I just had the width of the tip still set to the default 275.
Once I reset the tip width to 600 to match my image, the entire
image began to show up as expected.
The only thing I wish now is that the tip would show on the bottom
of the link (or top) if the tip is too wide for the display area.
Then I could
make best use of the screen space. As it is now, say with a
display area
of 800px, I can only show an image 400px wide, if the link is in
the middle
of the page.
Is it possible now to have the tip show up above or below the link?
Thanks for the help!

display to the right...
Hi Rick,
Here is how the clueTip positioning is supposed to work:
* switches from the right side of the link to the left side, if
there is not enough room between the link and the right edge of the
browser window
* moves up until the whole clueTip is visible, if the link is
too close to the bottom edge of the browser window.
* moves back down until the clueTip's top is at the top edge of
the browser window, if the clueTip is taller than the window
(viewable area)
* sits to the right or left of the mouse position, if the link
is a block-level element or if the link is so wide that the clueTip
can't completely fit to the left or the right of it.
Something must be broken, though, as indicated by your example. I
will look into this and offer a patch as soon as I can. Don't
hesitate to contact me off-list if you don't hear from me about
this within a few days (I'm having a hard time managing all my
projects and support requests at the moment).
Thanks a lot for brining this to my attention. I'm really grateful
for any feedback like this that can help me make the plugin better.

What controls the direction a ClueTip shows from the link?
I put a div on a page with an image inside that has a link.
The ClueTip content is a larger image.
Its working fine, except for the fact that the ClueTip always
displays to the right of the link. Shouldn’t the orientation be
automatic?
And… if the ClueTip is so large that it will display outside the
window if the
link is in the middle of the page, is it possible to have it show
above or below the link?
Here’s a test URL…
