clueTip display inconsistently

[wendy.constantine]

I've encountered some inconsistency in how the clue tip plugin
displays. In most cases, it works perfectly using the JTip theme, yet
when there are multiple links on a page, the links lowest on the page
almost surely do not display a tip at all (except for the standard
browser tooltip). And in some cases, the style changes entirely while
using the same class.

Here is a link to a sample document:
http://d-college.cengage.com/art/0495799874_kleiner/student/bonus/ch04/04_08A.html


In all cases, what I'm trying to accomplish is an image rollover with
title. The hrefs and parameters are all constructed the same, and
what's more puzzling is that the same href would work fine if placed
at the top of the document.

This is the jquery used:

$('a.jt:eq(2)').cluetip({
  cluetipClass: 'jtip', arrows: true,
  dropShadow: true,
  height: 'auto',
  sticky: true,
  waitImage: true,
  closeText: '<img src="../../../jscript/images/cross.png"
alt="close" />',
  positionBy: 'bottomTop'
});


And here's a sample href:
<a class="jt" href="javascript:void(0);" rel="../ch03/thumbs/
0312A.jpg" title="Seated statues of Rahotep and Nofret, from their
mastaba at Maidum, Egypt, Fourth Dynasty">

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Wendy

You're selecting only the third link with class="jt":

$('a.jt:eq(2)')

If you want all of them to show the cluetip on hover, remove the :eq(2) part of the selector:

$('a.jt')

Thanks, Karl!

That did solve most of the display issues, and I should have seen that
earlier. Now, I'm noticing that the 4th link is consistently using the
default style and not the jt class referenced. And in some cases, the
arrow displays to close, yet in others it does not.

Can you think of reasons for the above?
Thanks again!
Wendy

I've discovered the problem. Thanks again for your help, Karl.

Hey Wendy/Karl... can you share your findings?? I am having the same
problem just using the default style.

I am using the basic function with default style! and the results I
get are a tip box with dark, 60% transparent background... very
confused and have spent a couple of days on this...!! any help would
be appreciated!

Cheers,
Simone

Hello everyone... figured out what was wrong...
I am using sharepoint and was trying to add the stylesheet to a
content editor webpart as a link... it was not working... and funy
thing is that some sort of style was being loaded... anyhow... thanks
for the wonderful tool :)

Cheers,
Simone
