New jQuery/clueTip user here. I am trying to use clueTip with Perl to
create tooltips with previews of specific sections from the middle of
their pages. I'm coding the rel attribute of the links to point to a
Perl script plus parameters, like this:

<a href="filename.html#20-150" rel="extract.pl?
page=filename.html&anchor=20-150" class="basic">

Extract.pl is supposed to take the parameters, open the page, create
an excerpt starting at the anchor, and then print it out as html,
which then gets displayed by the clueTip. This works fine in FireFox,
but it completely fails in IE7 and IE6--it just displays a completely
empty tooltip, without even the "contents could not be loaded"
message.

This is my jQuery code:

  $('a.basic').cluetip({
   showTitle: false,
    ajaxCache: true,
    leftOffset: 25,
    width: 175,

    ajaxSettings: {
                      dataType: 'html'
                         }
  });

I realize I'm probably missing something very obvious, but if somebody
could help me out, I'd really appreciate it.
