Hi Joel,

The bgiframe plugin (http://jquery.com/plugins/project/bgiframe) should work with the clueTip plugin. Some tooltip plugins work by creating a separate tooltip for each invoking element - sometimes on the fly. Others, like clueTip, create a single tooltip and hide/show it, replacing the contents. There are advantages and disadvantages to both, but one of the advantages to the single tooltip approach is that it can be added to the DOM when the document loads and then have other events bound to it.

I've set up a test page to show how it can be done:

Cheers,

--Karl

Question I didn't see answered on the clueTip site: do clueTips
have a problem when appearing on top of form elements (particularly
select drop-downs) in IE 6?

The Interface tooltips I'm using seem to appear "behind" certain
form elements in IE, and the workaround suggested on this list for
the general problem I haven't been able to make work with the
tooltips (probably because they don't exist yet at page load time,
but maybe it's more subtle than that.)

I'd happily switch tooltip methods if there was a well-regarded
library that didn't have this problem!

Thanks!

 Hey Rick,

 Thanks a lot! Wow, that totally made my day.

I'm just about ready to post another revision to the plugin's project page and write up a little blog entry on it. I've received excellent feedback
 from a lot of people and have tried to incorporate as many of their
requests. Special thanks to Hector Santos (aka Pops) for all the recent
 suggestions and code snippets.

Just wanted to say that I?ve just now had another look at

clueTip since I used it a couple of months back.

I wanted to say, Karl, that I?m impressed!  Although I haven?t

put the new version to use, just reading over the docs

leaves me impressed with all the new features.

There are a ton of options!

I?m sure I?ll get a lot of use out of this plug-in!

Thanks for all the hard work!
