Hi az,
The only way I know of to deal with binding events to that many elements directly without incurring huge costs (unresponsive script errors, etc.) is to do it inline, as you suggested.
Another approach is event delegation, but I haven't set up the plugin to take advantage of that approach.

Hello, I have a dynamically generated page that can be long or short. Everything is fine when it's short, but when it gets to be *very* long, it gives unresponsive script errors. I believe this is because each entry on the page contains 3 clueTip links. If I have a thousand entries, that's 3,000 clueTips to bind and possibly keep in memory and then unbind when the user leaves the page. That's a lot! Any suggestions on how to prevent these errors? My only thought is that instead of using jquery to bind the clueTips at page load, I can do things the old-fashioned way and trigger the clueTip by linking to a javascript function. Something like: <a href='javascript:clueTipFunction()'>link</a> Will that work? thanks, az
