 * tooltip will adjust itself to be displayed above, below, to the left 
 * or to the right depending on what is necessary to stay within the
 * browser window. It is completely customizable as well via CSS.

Answer 1

You have "2" options (there are more depending on exactly how you want to do it)

1:

<a href="javascript:deactive_tiptip();">Visible Text</a>

2:

<a href="#" onclick="deactive_tiptip();">Visible Text</a>

Generally option one is better because it doesn't add a # to url upon click... but if you wanted to do an on hover instead of a click you'd use option 2 (replacing onclick with onmouseover)

You could also use JQuery:

$('#urlid').click(deactive_tiptip());

// Or newest way:
$('#urlid').on('click', deactive_tiptip);

Answer 2

Without fully going through your code you can do this with a jquery selector.

so something like this;

$("a").live({click:function(){ //hide the tooltip at this point });

you need to use live if you are building the tooltips dynamically

However, this will run the code on (any) anchor.

Another way would be to decorate all the pertinent anchors with a class.

class="HideOnClick" and then use the jQuery;

$(".HideOnClick").live({click:function(){ //hide the tooltip at this point });
