[jQuery] Re: cluetip question

[Karl Swedberg]

Thanks for answering this question, Shawn! I really appreciate the  
time you've taken here and on your blog to help others with some of  
clueTip's features.

Feijó,

Shawn showed you a way to use an element on the same page for the  
tooltip's contents. If you'd like to use the invoking element's title  
attribute (or some other attribute as set by the titleAttribute  
option) for the contents, you need to set the splitTitle option.  
Something like this, for example:

$('h4').cluetip({splitTitle: '|'});

<h4 title="Fancy Title!|testing">Hover over me.</h4>


Hope that helps.

Yes, you can.

First, you specify the attribute that contains the ajax page OR the  
name
of the local element to show.

If you are doing local a local element, you then set the "local"
property to true, and adjust any other properties as needed.  Using a
local element is mutually exclusive of any of the Ajax items...

i.e.

<h4 id="myheading">My Heading</h4>
<div id="clueDiv" style="display: none;">Here's my extra detail</div>

//javascript
$("#myheading").attr("rel", "#cluediv").cluetip({
  local : true,
  hoverClass : "highlight"
});

That *should* show the clueDiv as your popup/cluetip without any  
Ajax calls.

Options can be found at http://plugins.learningjquery.com/cluetip/#options 
.

Samples can be found at http://plugins.learningjquery.com/cluetip/ 
demo/

I'm sure others may have responded by now (no mail from the list for a
while, but that's usual for me for some reason, then I'll get a  
flood).
 And they probably have more definitive recommendations (i.e. Karl
monitors the list and he is the Cluetip author...)  But, if not, I  
hope
this helps.

With *non-link element*, why can't I use without ajax?

I try that:

$('h4').cluetip();
<h4 title="Fancy Title!|testing">Hover over me.</h4>


Didnt work, only like this works:


$('h4').cluetip({attribute: 'id', hoverClass: 'highlight'});
<h4 title="Fancy Title!" id="ajax3.htm">Hover over me.</h4>



Can't I just set a tip without ajax? With <a> the first one runs.


thanks
