[Solved] Using same tooltip object for multiple elements

[rextheranter]

Hi, I'd like to use qTip on a page which has a lot of elements to tip, at least 20, and each one needs to get info dynamically from the server upon mouseover.

So for efficiency, is there a way to instantiate ONE qTip object, and just apply it to each element as it gets a mouseover, changing the content to suit each time?

The alternative is to qTip all the elements at once, as normal, and I thought this might be inefficient given the number of elements. Or am I wrong and that's the correct way to do it?

Well first I'd suggest looking into qTip2 which is much more efficient and well coded. It also has plenty of demos to achieve what you're asking for.

Thanks Craig.

However I tried using v2 with jQuery 1.5.2 (we're told to use that version for now) and the tip tails don't appear in IE8.

Make sure you're in standards mode, as Quirksmode isn't (or rather... can't) be fully supported.
