I know, I'm using the "for" attribute too. The thing is, sometimes all the
valid attributes are already in use for their "proper" uses... the title
attribute is used by thickbox for its caption, and I don't want it set
there. (yeah, thickbox needs an option to ignore it)
So it would be nice to have another option. :)
I think it would be easy... add an option "autoid", and then around line
249,
} else if (opts.local){
if(opts.autoid) {
var $localContent = $('cluetip_' + this.attr('id') + ':first');
} else {
var $localContent = $(tipAttribute + ':first');
}
Or something like that... untested right now... I'm completely guessing.
Maybe I can look at it tomorrow.
