* Hi
When I use it like: `[tooltip tip="1GHz technology
blahblah"]
[/tooltip]` it’s bliking on hover and
it adds a big question mark. I checked this on FF, chrome and IE. Any idea why
is that?
* Thanks!

* What I would do is to show up plugin in no conflict mode (responsive-tooltip.
js) like:
* ```
var jq142 = jQuery.noConflict();
jq142( document ).ready( function()
{
var targets = jq142( '[rel~=tooltip]' ),
target = false,
tooltip = false,
title = false;
targets.bind( 'mouseenter', function()
{
target = jq142( this );
tip = target.attr( 'title' );
tooltip = jq142( '' );
if( !tip || tip == '' )
return false;
target.removeAttr( 'title' );
tooltip.css( 'opacity', 0 )
.html( tip )
.appendTo( 'body' );
var init_tooltip = function()
{
if( jq142( window ).width() < tooltip.outerWidth() * 1.5 )
tooltip.css( 'max-width', jq142( window ).width() / 2 );
else
tooltip.css( 'max-width', 340 );
var pos_left = target.offset().left + ( target.outerWidth() / 2 ) - ( tooltip.outerWidth() / 2 ),
pos_top = target.offset().top - tooltip.outerHeight() - 20;
if( pos_left < 0 )
{
pos_left = target.offset().left + target.outerWidth() / 2 - 20;
tooltip.addClass( 'left' );
}
else
tooltip.removeClass( 'left' );
if( pos_left + tooltip.outerWidth() > jq142( window ).width() )
{
pos_left = target.offset().left - tooltip.outerWidth() + target.outerWidth() / 2 + 20;
tooltip.addClass( 'right' );
}
else
tooltip.removeClass( 'right' );
if( pos_top < 0 )
{
var pos_top = target.offset().top + target.outerHeight();
tooltip.addClass( 'top' );
}
else
tooltip.removeClass( 'top' );
tooltip.css( { left: pos_left, top: pos_top } )
.animate( { top: '+=10', opacity: 1 }, 50 );
};
init_tooltip();
jq142( window ).resize( init_tooltip );
var remove_tooltip = function()
{
tooltip.animate( { top: '-=10', opacity: 0 }, 50, function()
{
jq142( this ).remove();
});
target.attr( 'title', tip );
};
target.bind( 'mouseleave', remove_tooltip );
tooltip.bind( 'click', remove_tooltip );
});
});
```

* I’ll look into it, can you link me to your website so I can check it live?
And
Js conflict is highly unlikely I dont think any script but jQuery uses jQuery()…(
As you can see I’m not using $()).

* I am also getting blinking/flashing on the tooltip pop-up box.
* You can see it in my Mortgage/Loan calculator widget on the “?” image next “Purchase
price:” (in the right sidebar)

* Hi AgentJay, I wasn’t able to reproduce your problem. When I go to that website
and check that questionmark I see the tooltip perfectly.
I tested both FF and
chrome (can’t test IE as I’m a proud Ubuntu user. try it out!), what browser
are you using? which version? what OS? Thanks

* In FF it does seem to work perfectly! (I didn’t check it before)
But in Chrome
it’s still flashing, I also just noticed that it is not offsetting either (the
tool tip box is loading with the mouse pointer in the center of the box, making
the box appear too low)
* I’ll also look into some CSS code to see if there’s something that can be done.
* My chrome version is: Version 28.0.1500.72 m (the latest one according to the
updater)

* I’m using version 28.0.1500.52, there shouldn’t be any difference…
What OS are
you using? that is very weird that such a difference exists
