Questions regarding thoughts behind how tooltip works.
in Developing jQuery UI

Was working with the jQuery UI Tooltip today and came across some things that just didn't make sense and wanted to make sure I was not over looking something.
So, in the demos it is basically selecting a wrapping DIV, then with the "items" option the tool tip code is grabbing a "target" of the closest item the matches those "items". Although this makes sense in the demos giving it is quite limiting. Say we have a scenario where the tooltip will get triggered by a TD and I want that tooltip's content to be of the content that is in a hidden DIV within that TD.
- <td class="tt">
- Shipped
- <div class="tt-content">
- </div>
- </td>
In the current state of the Tooltip does not work as expect even if I do below:
- $( ".tt" )
- .mouseenter(
- function(){
- $( '.tt-content', this )
- .tooltip(
- {
- items: ".tt-content"
- content: function() {
- var element = $( this );
- if ( element.is( ".tt-content" ) ) {
- return element.html();
- }
- }
- }
- ).tooltip( 'open' );
- }
- )
- .mouseleave(
- function(){
- $( '.tt-content', this ).tooltip( 'close' );
- }
- );
There are a few issues with this 1. that JS code is not elegant at all, 2. the positioning does not work because the Tooltip code will position off of the "tt-content" class and not the item I want to be positioned from.
So, before I get all crazy with adding changes to the tooltip code and pushing (or pulling, still new to the github thing) the changes, I want to make sure there was not a strict reasoning behind the current set up. I've read the wiki multiple times and just want to be sure.
