Hey there,
I'm having some issues with Cluetip and Internet explorer. It works fine in every other browser I've tested it in. FF, Chrome and Opera.
IE is throwing this error: 'Expected Identifier, string or number'. I put the following code at the top of my functions list and the error points to that function. When I remove it the rest of the functions that I use work again.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a.event-info').cluetip({
waitImage:true,
activation: 'click',
width: 320,
arrows: true,
dropShadow: true,
hoverIntent: false,
sticky: true,
mouseOutClose: false,
closePosition: 'title',
closeText: '<img src="images/cross.png" alt="close">',
});
});It's targeting this:
<a class="event-info" title="Event Title - Fight Card" href="event.html" rel="event.html"></a>Being called from the head:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/jquery.cluetip.css" type="text/css">
<script src="scripts/jquery.cluetip.js" type="text/javascript"></script>Any advice / help would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi there,
The problem is that you have a trailing comma after the last property in the options object. That isn't valid JavaScript. Firefox, Safari, and Chrome are a lot more forgiving of it, but IE throws an error.
$(document).ready(function() {$('a.event-info').cluetip({
waitImage:true,
activation: 'click',
width: 320,
arrows: true,
dropShadow: true,
hoverIntent: false,
sticky: true,
mouseOutClose: false,
closePosition: 'title',
closeText: '', // <-- remove this comma.
});
});

Thank you, I assumed it was something more sinister due do it working in the other browsers. And I find it quite ironic that ie is a bit more strict when it comes to validating. Thanks again, I love this plugin!
