First, great job! I just started playing with it and it is amazing!

Q: Is there a way to duplicate the behavior of the toolip they use is this site:
http://www.istockphoto.com/file_browse.php
and have the tooltip pop up to the left of a link if there is no space on the right?
Notice that this is dynamic and not hard coded for the images that are close to the right side.
Thanks!

Ok, figured it out:
I changed line number 167

From:
if (tipX + tipW + 5 > sX + wW) tipX = sX + wW - tipW - 5;
to:
if (tipX + tipW + 5 > sX + wW) tipX = tipX - tipW - 2*eval(t[0]);

Hi Angus,

I've noticed that the div.w() function doesn't create the tip width correctly in Opera 9.20. Any idea if it can be worked around?

Cheers,

Graham

Damn. Popping up to the left is the default behaviour of the script if there's insufficient room; if it doesn't it's a bug. Check in another browser.

Your patch is fine but I do really recommend you use SuperNtoe instead of Tipster which is a much newer and superior script.
