Tooltips are outdated if you chance title attribute after Tips initialization.

[KnX]

Tooltip text is built at initialization time and not when the tooltip is displayed.
If you change the title after Tips is initialized it won't be updated.

Here is a patch, as a nice side effect, you gain the adopt(el) method to add elements to an existing Tips object.

*** Tips.js Tue Aug 07 17:13:52 2007
--- Mine/Tips.js Tue Aug 28 21:55:52 2007
*************** var Tips = new Class({
*** 85,91 ****

}

}).inject(document.body);
this.wrapper = new Element('div').inject(this.toolTip);

! $$(elements).each(this.build, this);

},

build: function(el){

--- 85,104 ----

}

}).inject(document.body);
this.wrapper = new Element('div').inject(this.toolTip);

! $$(elements).each(this.adopt, this);
! },
!
! adopt: function(element){
! el.addEvent('mouseenter', function(event){
! this.build(el);
! this.start(el);
! if (!this.options.fixed) this.locate(event);
! else this.position(el);
! }.bind(this));
! if (!this.options.fixed) el.addEvent('mousemove', this.locate.bind(this));
! var end = this.end.bind(this);
! el.addEvent('mouseleave', end);
! el.addEvent('trash', end);

},

build: function(el){

*************** var Tips = new Class({
*** 104,118 ****

}
if (el.$attributes.myTitle && el.$attributes.myTitle.length > this.options.maxTitleChars)

el.$attributes.myTitle = el.$attributes.myTitle.substr(0, this.options.maxTitleChars - 1) + "…";

- el.addEvent('mouseenter', function(event){
- this.start(el);
- if (!this.options.fixed) this.locate(event);
- else this.position(el);
- }.bind(this));
- if (!this.options.fixed) el.addEvent('mousemove', this.locate.bind(this));
- var end = this.end.bind(this);
- el.addEvent('mouseleave', end);
- el.addEvent('trash', end);

},

start: function(el){

Sorry I forgot the code block, this is a readable version :

  			}
  		}).inject(document.body);
  		this.wrapper = new Element('div').inject(this.toolTip);
! 		$$(elements).each(this.build, this);
  	},
  
  	build: function(el){

Will be considered for the 1.3, since we'll need to clean the Plugins for the move into the Forge.

Is there an updated workaround for use with 1.2 beta?

implemented in [1445]

You can now detach, then change the title attribute, then attach.
