Nice plugin!

When I use 'auto' positionBy with 'local' content, the cluetip is always positioned at the bottom of my page. The left offset is correct. I must be doing something wrong. I tried with all defaults for cluetip settings, except local: true, and using this form for attaching the cluetip to an element:

var href = '#tutor_welcome';
el.attr({ href: href, rel: href});

An unusual thing I'm doing is triggering the cluetip appearance programatically, as I am using this for a step-by-step tutorial. I trigger it with .mouseenter().

As a work-around, I'm currently using 'fixed' positionBy, however, I would like to take advantage of the automatic positioning in the cases where the trigger element is on the far right of the page.

thanks for any insight,
Teresa
