The purpose of this plugin is to provide support for EXCLUSIVE, STICKY coolTips, along with introducing the EXCLUSIVESTATUS and EXCLUSIVEOVERRIDE comands.

Read the core module documentation for more information about ways to customize coolTip.

Remember that commands are always in uppercase (case-sensitive) and can have none or up to two parameter values.

To include this support module just include the following statements in the HEAD section of your document:

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" SRC="cCore.js"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" SRC="cExclusive.js"></SCRIPT>

You only have to make sure that the cExclusive.js module is loaded after the core module.

Download this module as a zip file.

EXCLUSIVE parameter

Applies only to a STICKY coolTip to indicate that it should remain visible until it is explictly dismissed, even while trying to activate another coolTip which will display the message given by EXCLUSIVESTATUS in the status bar. When used on the command line it will toggle its associated variable to the opposite state for this call only. The default value is off (0).
Variable: cd_exclusive

EXCLUSIVESTATUS parameter

The message that is displayed in the status bar while trying to acitvate an coolTip while an EXCLUSIVE, STICKY coolTip is active. The default value is the string "Please close open popup first."
Variable: cd_exclusivestatus

EXCLUSIVEOVERRIDE parameter

A command line switch which will over-ride the setting of EXCLUSIVE on a previous STICKY coolTip. There is no associated variable associated with this command because it is used only on the command line, where it serves as switch to cancel any EXCLUSIVE setting.
