I am using an image as my trigger for TipTip, and the tooltip is triggered by being clicked on. However, if you click the image when the tooltip is already visible, it just keeps fading in again. I want it to fadeout if the user clicks on the image when the tooltip is already open. Can anyone help? Would be very much appreciated.

I have been able to add a close button inside of the tooltip and i can get the tooltip to fade away if the user clicks on that. Once I get this figured out I should be good to go. Love it so far... better than anything else out there I've found.

   ok, I figured out!

   in jquery.tipTip.minified.js, I added in this code right before "if(timeout)":

   if (document.getElementById('tiptip_holder').style.display == 'block')
   

   {
   tiptip_holder.fadeOut(0)
   return false;
   }

   i set fadeout to zero, because if you have multiple tooltip triggers, when you try to click another one when one is already open the effect is not good. i am very happy with the way it is working now - love this plugin!!
