Tooltip appears then disappears when over trigger

Posted: Oct 22, 2009

Didn't want to hijack this thread:http://flowplayer.org/tools/forum/30/29726
So started a new one (although it's a similar/same issue).

Using version 1.1.2 with both plugins and mainly testing in FireFox 3.5.3.

On your own demo using slide effect, if you move the cursor slowly onto the edge of the image nearest the tooltip code the tooltip will appear, then as you continue to move inside the the image, the tooltip will disappear.

On your demo you have the tooltip code above the triggers in the html, therefore this issue can be replicated using the top edge. I've got my tooltip code below my triggers in the html (even though the tooltip appears top center) and therefore the issue appears on the bottom edge.

I'm assuming the problem occurs because the tooltip is moved beneath the cursor (without triggering a mouseout event), then when you continue to move the cursor it falls off the tooltip back onto the image and (I assume) triggers a toggle event hiding the tooltip.

Possible solution might be to include the tooltip within the active selector area (so moving onto the visible tooltip is considered part of the selector and doesn't trigger a close when you come off back onto the image).

Any ideas?

Lovely set of JQuery tools by the way, and a great website.

UPDATE: So I was in the code messing with the configuration options and I added predelay: 200

THis causes the box to delay therefore causing it not to disappear as they move away from the trigger point. If you go VERY slow it will still disappear however this is a good temporary solution until we get something from the flowplayer peeps...Let me know if this works for you as well

Nice one, this does make it happen a lot less and as you say if you go slow it still falls over. I have the tooltip appearing at the top, with the arrow point of the tooltip half on the rollover image. If the cursor is over the area of the image that the tooltip falls onto, it still disappears as you move into the image - but I think this is an issue that needs a code change in the plugin.

I was going to move to QTips, but think this will now be OK to leave as is for this project.

Thanks for sharing the quick fix.

I noticed this happening with me as well. At first i tried ignoring it but over time it just kept bothering me more and more. The tooltip is a great function and I would love to see this issue fixed so it can be really perfect. I only hope visitors to my site wont notice it.

Is there no fix for this yet??

I have been loving jQuery Tools. The tooltip is great, but this bug is becoming a deal breaker for my client. I wish this could be fixed.

I've played around with it and noticed two real problems and found two fixes.

If your tooltip is on an image or div, anything with some height to it then using:

<script>
$("#tooltip").tooltip({ 
      tip:'#mytooltip',
      effect:'slide',
      predelay:200, 
      delay:200
});
</script>

Using the "predelay" in the begining to prevent wink out from fast mousers and the "delay" property to prevent wink out from slow mousers seems to pull it off. I haven't managed to get the tooltip to wink out when I've applied this property on a large enough surface.

However this solution hasn't worked for me when using the tooltip on text. Instead the only solution I've found to fixing the problem when the tooltip is on a text link is to remove the "effect:..." property. Without the effect the tooltip will just pop on screen and not suffer the wink in-out effect.

That's the best I can offer at this point.

Yes! Has this bug still not been resolved? Renderes the slide effect kind of useless, doesn't it?
