Hi all,

I have a bunch of elements with tooltips. You click these elements to do some work and I wish to PERMANENTLY update the tip text and title to reflect the change.

So far I have been able to set the text and title of the visible tip using;

myTips.text('Whatever')

myTips.title('Whatever')

However I have not been able to permanently reset this and once you lose focus and regain focus the old title and text is used. I have tried detaching the tip, editing the title and rel for the element and then reattaching the tip but I am guessing that it has this in an array somewhere and is using that array when the element is reattached.

Any ideas..?

Fiddle here to show trying to detach and attach tips

You'll want to use the Element Storage if you're changing the tips'
contents after they're attached. When the tips are attached once, the
used title and text are stored in MooTools' Element Storage. How to
use it is described here:

Which, in your example, would end up being:

Thank you, worked perfectly,,,I didnt realise the store was for storing changed titles and text as well I thought it was just for creating the tips in the first instance.
