Hello Matthew,
thanks for the advice.
You have been really helpful and kind.
I have already tried all the stuff you are trying to tell me(in my
initial post I already tried to get the element using
el.get("alt") ), but the problem is
that none of that worked ->
...onShow: function(tip,el) {
tried this
var term = el.getAttribute('term');
and
var term = el.get('alt');
and
var term = el.get('whatever');
or
var term = $(el).get('whatever');
...
I know how to get an elements property.
What I don't know is how to get the elements property of the currently
hovered tooltip link - from within the "onShow" function.
I thought that the "hovered element" is being passed to the "onShow"
function
"...onShow: function(tip, el <-hovered element? ) {"
but all I get if I try to use el.get("alt") is "Object [object Object]
has no method 'get'"
Oh well - sun is shining - gonna get my shorts now - off to the court!
