How can I gracefully expand a jQuery UI tooltip?
I have the page below:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>The Divine Liturgy</title>
<meta charset='utf-8'>
<style type='text/css'>
body
{
font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans;
}
.ui-tooltip, .ui-widget, .ui-corner-all, .ui-widget-content,
.ui-tooltip-content
{
background-color: #ffff00;
width: 800px;
}
</style>
<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'
href='/js/jquery-ui-1.10.2.custom/css/smoothness/jquery-ui-1.10.2.custom.css'
/>
</head>
<body>
<p title="Bless, Master!">Deacon: Blagoslavie, Vladyko!</p>
<p title="Blessed is the Kingdom of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: Now and ever, and unto the ages of ages.">Priest: Blagoslovenno tsarsvo Otsa i Sina, i Svatago Duha, nine e presno, i vo beki vekov.</p>
<p title="Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and on those in the tombs bestowing life!">Clergy: Hristos voskrece iz mertvih, smertyio smert poprav, i sushim vo grodex zhevot darovav!</p>
<script src='/js/vendor/jquery-1.8.2-min.js'></script>
<script
src='/js/jquery-ui-1.10.2.custom/js/jquery-ui-1.10.2.custom.min.js'></script>
<script>
jQuery(document).tooltip();
</script>
</body>
</html>
I have tried several permutations on the CSS class, and its present behavior is to display a yellow background hover at a wider width, as desired, but without the black and white border area also being expanded--so the tooltip hovers with the contents spilling over the right boundary--not as desired.
How can I ask for the containing box to fit the 800px inner containing div?
Thanks,

Here you are applying a 800px width to your content, BUT, the .ui-tooltip class is defined with a max-width:300px; in the jqueryui css file.
Your width: 800px; has no effect.
You must seperate your classes and override the max-width :
body
{
font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans;
}
.ui-tooltip{
max-width: 800px;
width: 800px;
}
.ui-tooltip-content{
background-color: #ffff00;
}
Don't overwrite ui-corner, ui-widget... or other classes. You may need them later. Just modify the ui-tooltip that is concerned here ;).
