Karl, Dan, thanks for the ideas. Inspired by example #5 of the demo page I've set up the clueTip on the text box and I'm using a global variable to determine if the clueTip should actually display. It looks like this solution will work but the problem I'm running into now is that when the onActivate returns false, the form field loses focus, which renders that form field unusable.
Is there a way to give the form field focus after onActivate function returns false? Maybe this is a bug with the plugin? On Jan 11, 9:49 am, "Dan G.
