get content to tooltip from url in javascript

Question

I'm using cluetip for tooltips in my web site, and I want to set the tooltip text based on the link url.

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

Someone show me how, please?

Answer 1

You should set the title of your link to "sweeties" and then instruct whatever tooltiping plugin to use actually the title attribute for content.

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

Answer 2

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