Okay, I know a lot of you are going to hate me for showing this example, but you have to admit, it is better than a popup window and can be used in a positive way without being too intrusive. So here is my introduction...

If you don't want to annoy users with a popup window, but you do want to alert the attention of your audience, this can be a sure fire way to do it. Simply add the domTT_activate() call to the onload handler and specify and 'x' and 'y' position for your tooltip (or else it will end up in the upper left corner).

Note: All you phpBB people out there, how about this for the private messaging popup rather than a window!
