 * This Plug-In will create a custom tooltip to replace the default

 * tooltip will adjust itself to be displayed above, below, to the left 
 * or to the right depending on what is necessary to stay within the
 * browser window. It is completely customizable as well via CSS.

You have "2" options (there are more depending on exactly how you want to do it)

1:

<a href="javascript:deactive_tiptip();">Visible Text</a>

2:

<a href="#" onclick="deactive_tiptip();">Visible Text</a>

Generally option one is better because it doesn't add a # to url upon click... but if you wanted to do an on hover instead of a click you'd use option 2 (replacing onclick with onmouseover)

You could also use JQuery:

$('#urlid').click(deactive_tiptip());

// Or newest way:
$('#urlid').on('click', deactive_tiptip);
