Tooltip dynamically assigned in repeater somewhat intermittent

[mc2000]

Pretty simple:

In a asp.net repeater I have an anchor tag which gets a unique id from a databind:

<a id="<%# ((Item)Container.DataItem).List.ListId %>" onclick="javascript:PositionToolTip(this)">...

In a JavaScript method, I want to get the id of the tooltip and set it's target control to the link which clicked it. The code below works; that is until about after 10 or 15 clicks then it starts to show up on incorrect links. No page refreshes are done during this time. Thoughts?

function PositionToolTip(clientId)
{
    var radToolTip = $find("<%= ModalToolTip.ClientID %>");
    radToolTip.set_targetControlID(clientId.id);
    radToolTip.show();
 }

Hello mc2000,

 I am not aware of such a problem in the scenario you report and the only thing that I can assume that might be causing a problem is some incorrect ajax setting. In case you are not using ajax, I can suggest to test whether the following helps:

1) Set RenderInPageRoot="true" for the tooltip
2) Show it with a little timeout after you have set the target

If the above does not help, I will really need to debug some sample code. Please, prepare a sample, fully runnable reproduction demo (use a fake programmatic datasource), open a new support ticket and send it to me along with detailed reproduction steps and explanations and I will do my best to help.

Best wishes,

I believe that by setting the ajax property ShowEvent="FromCode" the problem appears to be resolved. I don't believe the tooltip was fully closing out...
