how to get the content of a tooltip?

[overthetop]

I am using the url property to load the content from a page.I'm hooking to the beforeShow event but how can I get the content that I'm about to display?

JS Code

$(this).qtip(
{
content: {
url: tooltipUrl
},
api: {
beforeShow: function(){ alert("the content here??"); }
}
});

overthetop, if you're looking to parse the content in some way before it's shown use the beforeContentUpdate, which supplies you with the content that is about to be used to update the tooltip. For for information check the documentation: http://craigsworks.com/projects/qtip/doc...tentUpdate

hi craig

I handled that event but the content parameter was 'undefined' (although the tooltip is showing with content! ). why this is not working?

That's very odd. Thinking about it RC3 had some issues with this particular usage case... you could try out the new branch revisions which should fix this issue:
