Question

I built my own Jquery tooltip function, it worked for 3 months really good, but now (I don’t know why) I get an error: "e is not defined"

Can anybody tell me why?

Example at jsFiddle.

Answer 1

You define your code to use variable event to receive the event object:

$('.tip').live('mouseenter mousemove mouseleave', function(event) {

You initially use the event variable:

if (event.type == 'mouseenter') {

However you then change to using the variable e:

var sc_w = e.pageX + 100;

Unsurprisingly, this doesn’t work, because you have never defined e.
