Subject: [Moo] Re: Tooltips / JSON Question

Hi,
thnx for your reply.
I tried to get a value from the hovered element(term):

<a href="#" class="tips" term="Germany">Germany</a>

I thought that according to the docs the above element gets passed as
"el" to the

...onShow: function(tip,el) {
                var term = el.getAttribute('term');...

function and that I could retrieve it like this:

var term = el.getAttribute('term');

But I get an error:

Object [object Object] has no method 'getAttribute'

So I tried it like this:

var term = $(el).getAttribute('term');

Doesn't work either.
Will keep on trying.
Cheers
