ok. quick suggestion for now until I look more into this:
you don't need to use the rel attribute at all. you can instead set
the attribute option to any attribute you want. You could use the
title attribute from the area for the clueTip title (default) or use
the alt attribute for it; you can use the href attribute to fetch the
contents from an element with a matching id.
$('area').cluetip({
attribute: 'href',
titleAttribute: 'alt',
local: true
});

Thanks Karl!
BTW, another issue that I ran into with the Image Maps is that REL
appears
to NOT be a valid attribute of the <AREA> tag. This was causing HTML
validation to croak<g>. I was able to reset ClueTip to use the
"href" to
pass the ID of a hidden content div down the page, but that seems a
bit of
a kludge...
Thinking about that (and digging into your code some more) I found
that the
first parameter to ClueTip can be the tip.
That made me wonder if (for Image Maps) it might be better to be
able to
set splitTitle: true and then pass both the tip and title as the first
parameter (with the "|" or whatever as the split element.
Of course that would not make the map 508 friendly (since there
would be no
Alt or Title over the AREA), but it might be a way to make things
work and
still pass validation.
If that was an option, then I guess the only other consideration
would be
how to solve the REL issue (and still pass validation).
Another idea (if possible), might be to use splitTitle and get it to
pull
the tip title from the first part of the content pulled in for the
tip...
Anyway - thanks again for your great work on this and I look forward
to
seeing what you come up with.
