However, you might have success with the $.cluetip.setup() method. Try
setting the insertionElement to the parent frame or something like
that and see if that works?
$.cluetip.setup({
insertionElement: 'whatever'
});
Hi Karl,
Good idea I think, but I can't seem to find the way to reference the parent
correctly. I've tried this:
$.cluetip.setup({insertionElement:
'window.parent.document.body'});
$('area.load-local').cluetip({
local:true,
hideLocal: true,
showTitle: true,
sticky: false,
arrows: false,
titleAttribute: 'alt',
attribute: 'href' });
});
as well as giving the body tag in the parent a name, then an id and trying
to reference them in different ways.
It seems to almost work as the ClueTip no longer appears in the Iframe,
but it is not appearing in the parent document.
BTW - I only have JQuery and Cluetip added to the child document (Iframe).
I've tried putting it in both, but that does not seem to matter.
I think maybe with the right syntax that your idea could work though.

[jQuery] How to call ClueTip direct and pass the Tip as a parameter
Hello, Is it possible to use ClueTip in such a manner as to simply call the ClueTip and pass it the title and tip as a parameter? I posted a question a few days ago about how to get ClueTip to open from a link in an Iframe document so that it opens in the parent window (instead of being clipped at the edge of the IFrame. I have ran across another DHTML tooltip that I can call in this fashion and it DOES work as it needs to, but it is not as nice as ClueTip. It uses an OnMouseOver Javascript event to call a function that passes the tip from the link up to the parent window. If I can find out how to call ClueTip in this manner, then I may be able to do the same thing with it. Thanks! Chuck
[jQuery] How to get ClueTip to open in parent document?
First off - Happy New Year to everyone! I am trying to use the excellent Cluetip plugin from: http://plugins.learningjquery.com/cluetip to display some content in a hidden DIV on a page that is pulled into context of the main page with an I-frame. I can easily get the content to display in the way I want it to, but the Cluetip is restricted to the boundary of the I-frame. This causes it to get cut off if the activation point is at the edge of the I-frame. I've ran into similar problems with a lightbox and the solution there was to include a target=_parent on the link of the content in the I-frame document. However this does not seem to work for Cluetip. Does anyone have an idea on how to solve or work around this? Thanks! Chuck

[jQuery] Re: Using ClueTip with Image Maps in IE
On Fri, 4 Jul 2008 23:39:42 -0400, Karl Swedberg wrote:
ok. quick suggestion for now until I look more into this:
you don't need to use the rel attribute at all. you can instead set
the attribute option to any attribute you want. You could use the
title attribute from the area for the clueTip title (default) or use
the alt attribute for it; you can use the href attribute to fetch the
contents from an element with a matching id.
$('area').cluetip({
attribute: 'href',
titleAttribute: 'alt',
local: true
});
Thanks Karl,
That is exactly what I have been doing right nowg.
I have these settings:
$('area.load-local').cluetip({
local:true,
hideLocal: true,
showTitle: true,
sticky: false,
arrows: true,
titleAttribute: 'alt',
attribute: 'href' });
});
Thanks for confirming my logic (in your other post reply) that for local
content using href would be good in case JS was turned off.
I figured that (in normal operation) the local content is hidden in divs
below the image map and they display as the Cluetip. But that if JS was
disabled they would appear below the image map and the href would serve as
a anchor link to jump to it.
If you can figure out the IE thing, I think this will be a solid winner for
me!

[jQuery] Using ClueTip with Image Maps in IE
Hello, I've been working with ClueTip (GREAT plug-in!) and image maps. After digging around on Google for some time I came across the link to this example: http://test.learningjquery.com/clue/chic-test.html (note that there are only two images that display the Cluetip and that neither has a title. You will see what appears to be a native tip, but that is coming from the Alt tag on this page). Based on that I was able to get it working on the Image Map, but I do have one problem. The native title attribute displays in IE (it does not in FF). If I remove it from the link, then that gets rid of the native tip, but then I can't use the Title attribute to pass the title for the tooltip to ClueTip and I'd really like to be able to use that feature. Does anyone have an idea on either how to get rid of the native title display in IE, or how to pass a title to ClueTip in some other fashion? I'm really close to getting this working like I want it, but hate to give up the title on the tips. Thanks for any and all assistance and ideas! Chuck

On Thu, 3 Jul 2008 14:12:56 -0400, Karl Swedberg wrote: Sorry for the delay in replying. I'll try to take a look at this tonight. Thanks Karl! BTW, another issue that I ran into with the Image Maps is that REL appears to NOT be a valid attribute of the AREA tag. This was causing HTML validation to croakg. I was able to reset ClueTip to use the href to pass the ID of a hidden content div down the page, but that seems a bit of a kludge... Thinking about that (and digging into your code some more) I found that the first parameter to ClueTip can be the tip. That made me wonder if (for Image Maps) it might be better to be able to set splitTitle: true and then pass both the tip and title as the first parameter (with the | or whatever as the split element. Of course that would not make the map 508 friendly (since there would be no Alt or Title over the AREA), but it might be a way to make things work and still pass validation. If that was an option, then I guess the only other consideration would be how to solve the REL issue (and still pass validation). Another idea (if possible), might be to use splitTitle and get it to pull the tip title from the first part of the content pulled in for the tip... Anyway - thanks again for your great work on this and I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Chuck

Thanks Fer,
I see where your going, but I'm pretty new to jQuery and I'm not quite sure
how to get there.
In my test case, I am working with the Greybox version of Lightbox and I
have added a PRINT link to the title bar. I catch the click event for the
link and I am now in a printthis function (added to the greybox code).
function printthis()
{
... we are here
}
The HTML page that I need to print is currently loaded into a iFrame that
was created when the Greybox opened.
The jQ code that creates the iFrame is this:
$(#GB_window).append(iframe id='GB_frame' src='+url+'/iframe);
So your saying that I need to create a new window at the size of the
iFrame, copy the contents of the iFrame into it AND modify the body
statement of the new document to have a print();self.close(); statement.
Is that right?
It seems like we are right back to where we are with the iFrame that is
already loaded.
Like I said I am new to jQuery and may be missing the obvious here, but I'm
lost as to how to do what your saying (from the already open Greybox) and
also of how to modify the body onload statement of the new document.
Sorry if I seem dense on this.
