Hi Mitch,
Feel free to check out clueTip's home page here:
http://plugins.learningjquery.com/cluetip/
I'll be moving the documentation into the template provided by Mike
Alsup at some point. In the meantime, the documentation is pretty
thorough, if not exactly pretty.
Be sure to check out the "Info and Demo" page. If you like the jTip's
styles, you can apply that theme to the clueTip as well, by using
{cluetipClass: 'jtip'}.
Lots more options available there. Let me know if you have any
questions.
--Karl

Wow that is a freaking amazing solution. Not only getting the right
css portion, but in showing me the way you use import then restyle on
the page. Very cool.
I will look into ClueTip. I like the way this coder set things up but
he did not do a good job laying out how to use it, and compared to
other plugin specialists here, he did not set up the plugin for
automatic use, I had to play with before I saw how it really worked.
Maybe ClueTip did a better job of documentation, because for me that
is as important as the plugin itself.
Oh and I am still curious how people deal with battling CSS. Firebug?

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.

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. It has a body style that changes its font to
62.5% of
an em, and that ends up shrinking all my fonts.
