var myImageTip = new MooImageTip();
});
// If you want to customize the tip, you can use some options
window.addEvent('domready', function() {
var myAdvancedImageTip = new MooImageTip({
offset: {x: 4, y: 4}, // Offset relative to mouse position
className: 'mylinks', // This is the links class name
tipId: 'mytip', // This is the tip ID, for styling
follow: false, // Tip will not follow the mouse cursor
fx: { duration: 'short' } // Additional Fx options
});
});
