I'm using jquery's qtip plugin to draw a tooltip, and it works fine on FF but not on my versions of IE. It looks like for IE, the plugin uses vml tags instead of canvas tags. Is there something extra I need to include in my page to get the little arrow tip to show? Here's my simple html page; note that when you mouse over "tooltip target", the gray box shows up, but not the arrow tip:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/jquery-1.4.2.js" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="/jquery.qtip-1.0.0-rc3.js" />

<body>
<a id="my_tooltip">tooltip target</a>
<script type="text/javascript">//<--
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery("#my_tooltip").qtip({
"content": {
"text": "this is a test"
},
"position": {
"corner": {
"target": "bottomMiddle",
"tooltip": "topMiddle"
}
},
"style": {
"tip": {
"corner": "topMiddle",
"color": "#999999",
"size": {
"x": 10,
"y": 10
}
},
"border": {
"width": 2,
"radius": 3,
"color": "#999999"
}
}
});
});
// --></script>
</body>
</html>
