qtip not appearing on .show command

[josephkhoury]

I am hoping someone could help me with a problem that i am facing

I am initializing a qtip in one function:

Quote:$('#featuredShows a.show img').each(function( index, element){
$(element).qtip({
content: $(element).attr("alt"),
style: {
width: 200,
tip: 'bottomMiddle',
background:'#393939',
color: '#888',
border: {
width: 1,
radius: 8,
color: '#393939',
},
},
position: {
corner: {
target: 'topMiddle',
tooltip: 'bottomMiddle'
}
}
})
});

And then calling the show method in another function, so that it shows up on a custom event:

Quote:$('#featuredShows a.show img').qtip("show")

However the qtip is not loading unless i mouseover it initially and then call the function which shows it.

Is there any way i might be able to show the qtip without having to mouseover it first?

Thanks in advance to any helpful replies

qTip 1.0 is a buggy in this area, move to qTip2 and it'll work like a charm
