Extract contentText from an attribute of the target

[tqwhite]

I construct the stuff in a template. I stash the tools tips like this:

When I found that html5tooltip() doesn't allow you to simple specify an attribute for the content, I assumed I would have to iterate over the list of elements, extract the text and make the call.

The function is so nice that I actually can't believe that this is the case. Any advice?

I guess you lost some code in your comment

Code did get lost. Sorry.

I like to put the tooltip info in an attribute to the html object in question, e.g.,

< div class='someClassName' tooltip='something >

I would like to call it with:

html5tooltip({

targetSelector: '.someClassName',
contentAttribute:'contentAttribute',
//etc

});

And have the function do something like:

var foundElement=$('.someClassName')[0];
var contentText=$(found element).attr('tooltip');

and use that contentText for the tooltip.
