Question

This should not be so complicated:

I am using Easiest Tooltip and Image Preview Using jQuery
I am trying to use this example

How can disable the click event on the original picture, i just want the tooltip to be displayed (i don’t want to allow to click on the picture)

How can this be done?
Thanks!

this is the current style:

<style>
#preview{
    position:absolute;
    border:1px solid #ccc;
    background:#333;
    padding:5px;
    display:none;
    color:#fff;
    }
</style>

this is the Javascript:

this.imagePreview = function(){ 
    /* CONFIG */

        xOffset = 10;
        yOffset = 30;

        // these 2 variable determine popup's distance from the cursor
        // you might want to adjust to get the right result

    /* END CONFIG */
    $("a.preview").hover(function(e){
        this.t = this.title;
        this.title = "";    
        var c = (this.t != "") ? "<br/>" + this.t : "";
        $("body").append("<p id='preview'><img src='"+ this.href +"' alt='Image preview' />"+ c +"</p>");                                
        $("#preview")
            .css("top",(e.pageY - xOffset) + "px")
            .css("left",(e.pageX + yOffset) + "px")
            .fadeIn("fast");                        
    },
    function(){
        this.title = this.t;    
        $("#preview").remove();
    }); 
    $("a.preview").mousemove(function(e){
        $("#preview")
            .css("top",(e.pageY - xOffset) + "px")
            .css("left",(e.pageX + yOffset) + "px");
    });         
};


// starting the script on page load
$(document).ready(function(){
    imagePreview();
});

this is the main:

<a href="1.jpg" /*class="preview"*/><img src="1s.jpg" alt="gallery thumbnail" /></a>

I would use:

    $('.preview').click(function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        return false;
    });

(if you remove the comment around class=”preview”)
