There are two major reasons why I am using JTip:
1. You had posted a fix for the select issue (select
boxes showing up above the tooltip), which directly
affects how I'm using the box so I need this
functionality
Hi Kim. I know I did this for the jTip plugin, but I'm not sure it's
worth putting it into the clueTip plugin when the bgiframe plugin is
out there for exactly that purpose. clueTip is already getting really
large (though it's only 8kb packed).
If you think I'm crazy for not including it in the plugin, let me
know. Maybe I'll change my mind.
2. The built in CSS styles has the little arrow shape
that points to the tooltip, giving it the appearance
of a comment/talking bubble. In the JS, it checks
browser width etc (or something) and calculates which
side to put the box on and where to position this
arrow shape.
Have you seen one of the more recent versions? It has had fully
customizable theming for a while now. "jtip" is one of the pre-
installed themes. It has the arrows, etc.
Here is a simple way you can apply the jTip theme:
$('someElement').cluetip({cluetipClass: 'jtip', arrows: true,
dropShadow: false});
Or, if you want to get really, really fancy:
$('someElement)').cluetip({
cluetipClass: 'jtip',
arrows: true,
ropShadow: false,
fx: {
open: 'slideDown',
openSpeed: 'slow'
},
sticky: true,
mouseOutClose: true,
closePosition: 'title',
closeText: '<img src="cross.png" alt="close" />'
});
