If you want to position the tooltip not relative to the triggering element, you should set position to be 4, 5, or 6:
4: center
5: top left
6: bottom right

If choosing 4, the x, y will be the offset to the center;
If choosing 5, the x, y will be the offset to the top left of the screen;
If choosing 6, the x, y will be the offset to the bottom right of the screen.

Yes, you can absolutely position tooltips using x/y coordinates. For your jQuery scenario, you'll need to: 1. Modify the tooltip initialization to use absolute positioning: ```javascript $('.element').tooltip({ position: { my: 'left top', at: 'left ' x ' top ' y, using: function(position, feedback) { $(this).css(position); } } }); ``` grade calculator

2. Or directly position the tooltip element: ```javascript function showMapTrialTooltip(x,y) { $('#tooltip').css({ 'position': 'absolute', 'left': x 'px', 'top': y 'px' }).show(); } ``` Would you like me to provide a complete working example with your AJAX implementation?
