Hi,
I made a small adjustment to the jQuery Tooltip plugin from
bassistance. The mouseover event is now passed to the bodyhandler,
this makes it easy to use event delegation of bubbling. You an for
example attach a tooltip to a TR instead of adding it to all TDs in
the TR.
The old way:
$('#mytable > tr.myclass > td').tooltip({
bodyHandler: function() {
var id = $(this).attr("id");
return CreateTooltip(id);
},
track: true
});
The new way:
$('#mytable > tr.myclass').tooltip({
bodyHandler: function(e) {
var id = $(e.target).attr("id");
return CreateTooltip(id);
},
track: true
});
Maybe Jörn Zaefferer can add this to a next release of the tooltip.
Regards,
Jochen
