Woo hoo, this is great stuff. How nice of you to do this Sherlock Holmes work. And such a elegant solution.

Mitchell, I believe what you're seeing is the slide down effect that's an option in clueTip. If you want to get around that just do something like this: $('#cfvhelp').cluetip({width: 200, cluetipClass: 'jtip', arrows: true, dropShadow: false, fx: {open:'show', openSpeed: 'fast'}}); This will improve the display performance quite a bit. @Karl: What I would suggest is that if the "fx" is left out, default to using show() as opposed to fadeIn() and then on line 340, change this line: $cluetip.hide()[defaults.fx.open](defaults.fx.openSpeed); to $cluetip.hide()[defaults.fx.open](defaults.fx.open != 'show' && (defaults.fx.openSpeed)); so that way if the show is the selected effect, the box instantly appears and no speed method call is necessary. By doing this, I was able to achieve the same effect as Cody's jTip while still maintaining all of the cool and extensive functionality available in clueTip. The best of both worlds. Rey...
