[jQuery] ClueTip, hideLocal, IE6: the same old sad story

[jQuery] ClueTip, hideLocal, IE6: the same old sad story


jQuery 1.3.2
ClueTip 1.0.4
$('a.DownloadInfoLink').cluetip({
    activation: 'click',
    local: true,
    showTitle: false,
    sticky: true,
    mouseOutClose: true,
    cluetipClass: 'jtip',
    width: 550,
    height: 300,
    fx: { open: 'fadeIn' }
});
div.DownloadInfo { display: none; }
<a href="#" class="DownloadInfoLink"
    rel="#download_info_X">click here for stuff</a>
<div class="DownloadInfo" id="download_info_X">
stuff here...
</div>
This works terrific in everything except IE6, where the cluetip comes
up empty. If I remove the display: none and use hideLocal: true the
contents of all .DownloadInfo are displayed as the page loads. I'm
guessing there may be a general issue (not just with ClueTip) with IE6
not hiding things quick enough. Does anyone know of a workaround?
