I have found the answer: I have loaded "jquery.tooltip.min.js" as "js/jquery.tooltip.min.js", but it should be called "js/jquery.tooltip.js"
I am shure that there is a description on the jquery-website, but I did not find it. It would be nice to have small example for using "jquery ui" and similar plugins in the web2py manual, e.g. at the end of chapter 10.2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A short example for jQuery Tooltips Download the actual version from http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-tooltip/, unpack it and copy the following files to the "Static files", using the upload file button: - jquery-tooltip/jquery.tooltip.css -> css/jquery.tooltip.css - jquery-tooltip/jquery.tooltip.pack.js -> js/jquery.tooltip.js *Don't forget to rename it to "jquery.tooltip.js"!* Add the following lines in web2py_ajax.html - response.files.insert(3,URL('static','css/jquery.tooltip.css')) - response.files.insert(4,URL('static','js/jquery.tooltip.js')) Use it in default/index.html: <script> jQuery(function() { jQuery('#tip ').tooltip(); }); </script> <div id='tip' title='This is a tip'>Tip</div> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Regards, Martin 2011/1/5 Brian M <bmere...@gmail.com> > What does the FireBug extension for FireFox tell you?
