I've made some progress.

I think I've discovered why the clueTips weren't working in IE.
I haven't been able to find much info about it, but according
to this bug ticket, .click() doesn't work in IE:

http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/2352

So, I've implemented the workaround described in the ticket
and things seem to be working in IE!

Here's the updated test page:

http://www.prep-u.com/demo/cluetest.html

That's good, but the waitImage in Firefox is still showing up
in the wrong place.  It's minor, but I'd love a solution that
works 100%.

Any ideas?

thanks,
az

Hi Karl,

As always, thanks for your help.

Here is my test page:

http://www.prep-u.com/demo/cluetest.html

On the test page there are only 4 links.  So obviously I
could just bindclueTipthe normal way.  But my live page
will have thousands of links in some cases.  Since that's
a lot of binding, I'm trying to do no binding on page load.
Instead each link calls this javascript function:

functionclueTip( link ){
       var linkid = '#' + link;
       // bind then click
       $(linkid).cluetip().click();

}

which is supposed to bind theclueTipand then
click the link to trigger theclueTip.

Problems:

1. In Firefox it's working, but the waitImage seems
to be appearing in the wrong place.
2. In IE7 it doesn't work at all.  It's giving me an "invalid
argument"
error that seems to be caused by .click().

Any help is greatly appreciated!

One final note:  notice that you can click on theclueTiptitlebar and
drag it around the screen.  That's thanks to your help on a previous
post!

Hi az,

Unfortunately, I've completely lost the context for what you're  
doing
here. Do you have a page up somewhere that we can look at to see the
whole thing? That would be very helpful.

Hello,

As I discussed in a previous post ("unresponsive script error
on long page with many clueTips") I'm trying to trigger clueTips
with a javascript function instead of binding the clueTips on page
load.

Each link calls theclueTipfunction and passes its unique link id.
Here is the function:

functionclueTip( id ){
      var linkid = '#' + id;
      // bind then click
      $(linkid).cluetip().click();

}

It mostly works on Firefox, except that the waitImage is acting
strangely.  Sometimes it doesn't show up at all.  And sometimes
it shows up but in the location of the previously clickedclueTip!
But the actualclueTipalways shows up in the right place.

On IE7 it doesn't work at all.  It's giving me an "invalid  
argument"
error that seems to be caused by .click().

Any ideas?  Is my approach fundamentally flawed or am I missing
something small?

thanks!
