Question

Is there an option to close a cluetip dialog when the mouse is moved off of the link? There is the mouseOutClose option, but it doesn’t close the cluetip if you don’t hover over it first.

Here is an example:

Answer 1

In the clueTips core file
replace the code:

if (opts.mouseOutClose) {....}

with

if (opts.mouseOutClose) {
var closectip;
$cluetip.hover(function() {
clearTimeout(closectip);
},
function() {
$closeLink.trigger('click');
});
$this.hover(function() {
clearTimeout(closectip);

}, function() {
closectip = setTimeout(cluetipClose, 1000);
});
} 

I found the solution from a jquery forum here is the link

Its working for me.
