[Aargh! Sorry, I forgot to add a proper subject line to the message I've just posted, so it got tagged onto another thread. Here we area again, hopefully in a new thread.]
I've a wee problem with Jörn's excellent Tooltip plugin, to do with image maps. This problem, I think (the example links now 404), was also reported by John on the Tooltip plugin page (http:// bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-tooltip/). Simply, with an image map the tooltips appear a long way away from the mouse cursor, at the bottom left of the document. To illustrate this, see these two tests: Test imagemap with various <div>s: http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~ntzfr/rlos/critical_reflection/testmenu.... Same map without any <div>s: http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~ntzfr/rlos/critical_reflection/testmenu_... If you mouse over any of the flower petals, the tooltip will appear in the bottom left of the page, after all other page elements. I tried a simple tooltip() call, eg: $('#area_issues').tooltip(); then one used with the imagemap example on the demo page (http:// jquery.bassistance.de/tooltip/demo/): $('#area_issues').tooltip({ positionLeft: true }); Same result. Any suggestions as to a diagnosis and/or fix? I know that the tooltip position can be changed with the position options, but a) I'd like to diagnose the problem first, and b) I'm setting up my page to be flexible using ems for positioning to allow for browser resizing, and I really, really want to avoid pixel coordinates. BTW, does anyone know where the: positionLeft: true option is documented on the jQuery site? A search for 'positionLeft' finds nothing, and I can't see it in the index of the 'jQuery in Action' book I've got. Cheers Fred
