Mitch, I came across the same issue with jTip until I studied it more.
The global.css provided jTip is only an example. All you really need here are the classes beginning with "JT_" The CSS has an inline comment separating the specific JT_ classes. What I did was cut and paste these classes into a file called jTip.CSS file and then I do this to customized them: <style type='text/css' media='all'> @import '/public/js/jtip/css/jtip.css'; #JT { background-color: lightcyan; } .jTip { cursor:default;} #JT_close_left { background-color: green; color: white; } #JT_close_right { background-color: green; color: yellow;} </style>" ps: You may want to explore ClueTip. It has some improved ideas over jTip, like proper placement so it isn't cut off, delaying the popup until the hovering mouse is idle on the link, plus some other features like Sticky Popups. -- HLS On Aug 19, 8:17 pm, Mitch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > What do you guys suggest when I use someone's plugin and its css > contains styles that alter my entire page. > > I have never had this happen until I tried jTip, which is a very cool > tooltip plugin.
