One last thing Karl. Side by side your cluetips take longer to

jTips do. About 1/2 second slower on this rig but that is a

that should be fast. Again this is me, maybe others like them slow.
You know, Mitch, I think I have an idea what's going on now. When you
include the hoverIntent plugin in the <head>, the cluetip picks it up
and uses its .hoverIntent() method (with default settings) rather
than the .hover() method.
So, I put together another little demo, just for you. I took out the
hoverIntent plugin, and it's much zippier now. I also set the "open"
option to "show" and the "openSpeed" option to '' (an empty string).

Let me know how that goes for you. If speed is what you're after,
this should do the trick.
Karl I see what may be a weird bug in IE7. If I leave your example
page, go
do something in another window, when I come back to your page the
tooltips
will not work until I reload your page.
Thanks a lot for reporting this. I'll have to boot up Parallels and
check it out asap. That kind of weird bug scares me, though. I'm not
very good at debugging that sort of thing.
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.
Glad to hear it.
I also think your examples are too large in font and size, e.g.
normally tooltips are NOT giant boxes, they are tiny hints.
Well, that's all adjustable, so change them to your heart's content.
You can change the font-size in the css and you can change the width
in the cluetip's options. Check out the demo I made for you (see link
above). I made the font smaller. :-)
Have you tested them in IE7? If they work fine there and FF I think
I am now sold.
Well, not often enough, to be honest. I have tested in IE7, but not
lately. But I will soon. I promise. Most recently tested in IE6,
Firefox, and Safari 2 Mac.
