Hi guys, Dojos looking real great and I need some help here. I really like the tooltipdialog however it seems to be attachable to just a drop down button?
I would like to attach it to a table cell element like in a calendar so that when someone clicks on a cell it displays the appropriate tooltip dialog. Could anyone please let me know how to do this. I really need the help here...
You can find it in the documentation
I can see your confusion, because drop down buttons use similar graphics, but you can find the "real" tooltip here:

On a personal note, I can tell I gave up on using tooltips, as I find them buggy - at times they will not disappear and sometimes they show up at strange places. Instead I use standard title attribute, which basically has the same functionality, although not as stylish. Example:
Thanks but ...
Thanks but as I said I didn't want a tooltip I want something like the tooltip dialog but which could be displayed by clicking on anything other than a drop down button like say a link for an example. For now Im trying to improvise a bit on the current tooltip dialog - will post if I run into something.
In that case...
You could make a custom widget using the tooltip dialog template as a starting point, but this can be quite cumbersome, and the documentation on this subject isn't the best.
An alternative is to disguise the fact that the button is a button by removing border and background.
Example:
Add a class="noButton" to the tooltip dialog
Add to your css:
.noButton button {
background : none !important;
border : none !important;
}
To alter the appearence of the text use for example:
.noButton button .dijitButtonText {
color : red;
}
