Hey Rick, Thanks a lot! Wow, that totally made my day. I'm just about ready to post another revision to the plugin's project page and write up a little blog entry on it. I've received excellent feedback from a lot of people and have tried to incorporate as many of their requests. Special thanks to Hector Santos (aka Pops) for all the recent suggestions and code snippets. --Karl _ Karl Swedberg www.englishrules.com www.learningjquery.com On Oct 10, 2007, at 5:29 AM, Rick Faircloth wrote: Just wanted to say that I’ve just now had another look at clueTip since I used it a couple of months back.

Question I didn't see answered on the clueTip site: do clueTips have a problem when appearing on top of form elements (particularly select drop-downs) in IE 6? The Interface tooltips I'm using seem to appear "behind" certain form elements in IE, and the workaround suggested on this list for the general problem I haven't been able to make work with the tooltips (probably because they don't exist yet at page load time, but maybe it's more subtle than that.) I'd happily switch tooltip methods if there was a well-regarded library that didn't have this problem! Thanks!

[jQuery] Re: ClueTip: Nice work, Karl!
Hi Joel, The bgiframe plugin (http://jquery.com/plugins/project/bgiframe) should work with the clueTip plugin. Some tooltip plugins work by creating a separate tooltip for each invoking element - sometimes on the fly. Others, like clueTip, create a single tooltip and hide/show it, replacing the contents. There are advantages and disadvantages to both, but one of the advantages to the single tooltip approach is that it can be added to the DOM when the document loads and then have other events bound to it. I've set up a test page to show how it can be done: http://test.learningjquery.com/clue/demo/ieselect.html Cheers, --Karl _ Karl Swedberg www.englishrules.com www.learningjquery.com On Oct 10, 2007, at 11:57 AM, Joel Noble wrote: Question I didn't see answered on the clueTip site: do clueTips have a problem when appearing on top of form elements (particularly select drop-downs) in IE 6?

I don't have a clue [geddit?] what the plugin is all about. That page you posted (and no other pages on the site) actually say what it does. And I don't see anything remotely like a 'demo'... -- Scott.

It's easy to test (I just did so in IE7). More difficult than when
able to use FireBug, but we get by. ;-)
Browse to http://plugins.learningjquery.com/cluetip/demo/ and click on
the "Examples" tab. (Sorry don't know how to link directly to
Examples--or if it is even possible.) Once you're looking at that
page, paste the following into the address bar:
javascript:alert($('a.basic:first').after('blueblack'));
That needs to be on one line--and it will likely get broken up in
transit. The alert() is simply to prevent IE from displaying [Object
object] (the return value for $.after()) all by itself in the document
area after adding the select element.
That script line will add a "select" dropdown right after the
"simplest example there is" link, and then hovering over that link
will put the ClueTip window right above the newly-added dropdown.
Presto! Insta-test. ^_^
HTH,
Pyro

Great work!! Only recommendation would be to move your example tab closer to the front, maybe after Features? If it were me I would even move your Examples tab between the Intro and Features tabs.
