Interesting, but not sure how or where that is actually useful. -- Jörn Zaefferer http://bassistance.de

yes theres jtip http://codylindley.com/Javascript/264/jtip-a-jquery-tool-tip On Apr 5, 7:08 am, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Overlib is a JS library with lots of cool features for JS popups. http://www.bosrup.com/web/overlib/ I wonder if there is anything like this already built into JQuery or possibly in a plugin.

Since you're asking... :) It would be nice if I could declare the tip body HTML with a string, rather than requiring a bodyHandler function. This way, for static tooltip content, I can be lazy and type a little bit less. :-D Thanks! - Brian [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb: Thanks for info. I also found Hovertips: http://www.dave-cohen.com/node/1186 However, of them all, I think I like tooltip the best. jtip was AJAX based which is more functionality than I need and will be slower. Hovertips may have more functionality than tooltip, but the code seemed a little less elegant. Let me know if there is anything you miss in the tooltip plugin, I'm going to work on it anyway. -- Jörn Zaefferer http://bassistance.de

Sounds good, can you explain that a bit more? Maybe just post how your
code and markup using the feature would look like.
Right now you have this:
if ( settings.bodyHandler ) {
tTitle.hide();
tBody.html( settings.bodyHandler.call(this) ).show();
} else if (...) {
I'm thinking of adding something like:
} else if ( settings.bodyHTML ) {
tTitle.hide();
tBody.html( settings.bodyHTML ).show();
} else if (...) {
This way, if I wanted to simply state what the content of a particular
tooltip is with a static HTML string, I could do that.

Just throwing some ideas out there, to see which ones stick. :)
