Hey Rick,
Glad you got something worked out. Actually, I'm surprised that the
single vs. double quote thing made a difference. It's a little
disconcerting. I'll have to look into that. Also, you should have to
do positionBy: 'auto' since that is the default.
I did manage to get clueTip to move to whichever side it fits best.
With positionBy: 'auto' it should attempt to display it to the right
of the invoking element first; then, if there isn't enough room, to
the left; then below; and, finally, above. So if it wasn't working
for you, I can only guess that there is a bug somewhere (much to my
chagrin).
If you run into another problem with it, a test page demonstrating
the problem would be helpful. Last time when you provided a link to a
page you were working on, it might troubleshooting much easier.
As always, I really appreciate your feedback.
--Karl

Well... I guess asking a question spawns an answer.
I realized that some of the ClueTip options were
surrounded by single quotes. When I added those
around the option, positionBy: 'auto', it worked fine.
Actually, positionBy: 'mouse' seems to work best.
Thanks for the good work, Karl!

I should have looked a little harder. there it was in "black &
white".
So, I did find the info about positioning the ClueTip and decided
that
"auto" would probably be what I'm looking for, but when I put
"positionBy: auto" in the ClueTip options, it disabled the ClueTip.
The "hidden div" part of the ClueTip just sits on the page. When
I remove
the positionBy option, all works normally.
I changed that option in the "custom-cluetip.js" file, which has
this in it:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a.load-local').cluetip({
local: true,
cluetipClass: 'jtip',
cursor: 'pointer',
arrows:true,
dropShadow: true,
width: 410
});
});
Suggestions?

Hey, Karl. (or anyone else who might know)
Did you ever get ClueTip coded so that it will
show top, bottom, left, and right, depending on
what direction a ClueTip will best fit the screen?
I just put the latest version on the plug-in
page on a site, and if I scroll the page so that
the ClueTip link is at the top of the page, it still
puts the ClueTip out to the left where part of it
is cut off at the top, instead of at the bottom
where there's plenty of room for it to show.
Rick
