I'm getting some freakishly odd tooltips being output! (pre-beta3)

This could be a problem with previously declared ".content" class names. Try adding this CSS into your stylesheet and see if it makes a difference:

body div.qtip div.content{
   padding: 0;
   margin: 0;
   height: auto; min-height: auto;
   width: auto; min-width: auto;
}

This basically makes sure that all padding, margin, widths and heights are set to thier defaults within the qTip2's content!

Are you available for hire?

I'm a freelancer by trade so I'm almost always available for work. You can checkout my portfolio to get a taste of my work, and you can contact me directly at craig@craigsworks.com.

What do donations go towards?

Donations are used to keep the hosting company happy with regular payments and help to keep me on my feet while I develop this much loved library [citation needed]! So donations are always welcome and if you really enjoy using qTip2, please consider donating. You know you want to deep down! For more information on donations checkout the donations page.

Are you SURE it's free?

Absolutely! qTip2 is free and will always be free, unless of course I become homeless and have to live out of a box... then we'll see. But until then, don't worry your pretty little head.

qTip2 is licensed under the MIT license, so you can do whatever you want with it... as long as you include a copy of the license! Check out the licensing page for more details on qTip2's license.

Who else works on qTip2?

I'm currently the only developer working on qTip2. If your interested in helping out, contact me and we can talk about how you can get involved.

How did you decide to layout the plugin?

After looking over several popular jQuery plugins I noticed a similarity in their code layout, and after some looking around I found a great, very informative plugin development article written by Mike Alsup over at learningjquery.com. I suggest anyone looking into developing a plugin reads up on it as its a great base framework for plugin development under jQuery.

Is qTip2 related to Simpletip?

qTip2 is the successor to my previous, supposedly copyright infringed Simpletip2 project, an extension of the original Simpletip library. qTip2 is built from scratch to ensure no copyright issues, so bares nothing in relation to Simpletip other than the fact it's also a tooltip library!

Do you still support Simpletip?

Simpletip is now discontinued but I will continue to support people having issues with the script. If you need support check-out the Simpletip discussion board. I recommend everyone using it upgrades to qTip2 as this is where all active development will be!
