The new layout on your example page is much better, and now that I see how easy it is to do the arrow thing I am more motivated to switch. The slow comment had to do with how long it took your tooltip to appear. I think you need to speed up the scroll down and fade examples as they made me think that was the fastest it would go. I also think your examples are too large in font and size, e.g. normally tooltips are NOT giant boxes, they are tiny hints. You can show some big ones but you should shrink them, which will also make them zippier looking. Have you tested them in IE7? If they work fine there and FF I think I am now sold.

I like jTip for all the same reasons, I really like the arrow, and wish Karl's had it It does have it if you set the option for it. See my reply to Kim. and I think it's faster than Karl's. Can you explain what you mean by "faster"? How are you benchmarking this? Is the speed difference independent of the time it takes for the ajax request (which has nothing to do with the plugin)? Might it have to do with the clueTip using a .fadeIn() by default (as opposed to .show() )? I'd really appreciate some clarification on this so I can know where to focus my attention on improving this. thanks, --Karl _________________ Karl Swedberg www.englishrules.com www.learningjquery.com On Aug 22, 2007, at 3:00 PM, Mitchell Waite wrote: I like jTip for all the same reasons, I really like the arrow, and wish Karl's had it and I think it's faster than Karl's. But, and this is big one, there is some problem with IE7 in jTip that shifts the position of your tooltip to the right, so I had to drop it. -----Original Message----- From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kim Johnson Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2007 11:45 AM To: jquery-en@googlegroups.com Subject: [jQuery] Karl, cluetip questions: Select IE6 bug ETA, and incorporating JTIP? Hi Karl, There are two major reasons why I am using JTip: 1. You had posted a fix for the select issue (select boxes showing up above the tooltip), which directly affects how I'm using the box so I need this functionality 2. The built in CSS styles has the little arrow shape that points to the tooltip, giving it the appearance of a comment/talking bubble. In the JS, it checks browser width etc (or something) and calculates which side to put the box on and where to position this arrow shape. I'd really like to switch to cluetip, especially since there is support for clicking inside the tooltip. I know you are super busy, but I'm wondering if: a) you have some sort of ETA on when you plan on incorporating the IE6 fix (my development needs to happen pretty much now, so if it will be awhile I will need to wait to incorporate cluetip) b) if you plan on incorporating this diamond shape idea, as opposed to keeping it just as a floating box with no link to the cursor tip itself. (or, if you don't, perhaps you have ideas on how I could hackjob it together from jtip code myself?) Thanks a bunch :) -kim ____________________________________________________________________________ ________ Shape Yahoo! in your own image.
