OK I see it now. But when you post a link to a 'demo' which doesn't
actually have a demo (you have to click another link to get to it),
can be a little confusing...

 Huh?

 Did you click on the Features link?

 The clueTip plug-in allows you to easily set a link to show a  
 tooltip of sorts when the user's mouse hovers over the link. If the  
 link includes a title attribute, its text becomes the heading of the  
 clueTip. ...

 Did you click on the Examples link? It has 16 different examples.

 Is anyone else having the same problem of not seeing anything  
 remotely like a demo or not seeing the lists of features (smart  
 positioning, flexible behavior, many option)?

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

2007-10-10 Thread Joel Noble


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!

2007-10-10 Thread Karl Swedberg

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,

2007-10-10 Thread Pyrolupus

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('select id=selma
name=selmaoptionblueoptionblack/select'));

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

Only recommendation would be to move your example tab closer to the
