Get tooltip content from url in javascript

Question

I am using cluetip for tooltips in my website and I want to set the tooltip text based on the url of the link,

For example: I have a link on my page at "http: abc.com/display? Content = sweeties" and I want the tooltip to read "sweeties"

Will someone show me please

You should title your link to "sweets" and then instruct any tooltiping plugin to use the title attribute for the content.

I think it could work with cluetip out of the box.

var a = $("aTagsId");
var content = a.attr('href').match(/content\=([^\&]*)/)[1];
a.attr('title', content);
... setup cluetip w/ title...

One undocumented, nice and quick way to do this is to use a function as the first argument in a cluetip call that returns the content you want:

var normalcluetipsettings = {.. ... ... ... }
$('#mydiv').cluetip(function(){return 'hello'+' '+'world';}, normalcluetipsettings)
