Long text is too wide.

I'm using jquery 1.4.1.

I have some text that is a few paragraphs long that I'm trying to display with tiptip. The styling is fine, so I know the plugin is all hooked up alright, but for whatever reason, my maxWidth property is not being respected. I get one or two lines that span the entire width of the page or more. I've tried setting a %, auto, and #px values to no effect.

    $(".tippable").tipTip({maxWidth: "200px"});

   I got around this issue by adding the following css rule to the tipTip.css file:

   in the #tiptip_content block, add this:
   word-wrap: break-word;

   How about a minWidth setting as well? I have a set of tooltips that I want to have the same/fixed width for all cases (independant of the length of the text)
