Hi all.
I have a panel on the left side of my layout that uses contentEl to fill the panel with this:

Code:
    <div id='recentItems'>
        <ul class='iconlist'>
            <li class='eventList'><a href=''>call from A.Keys</a></li>
            <li class='todoList'><a href=''>Submit</a></li>
            <li class='contactList'><a href=''>test item</a></li>
        </ul>
    </div>
My problem is when I try to add ToolTip programatically to these links. My goal is to have a tooltip display to the right of each of these links but since the links may vary in width, I'd like the tooltips for each link to display at the same X coordinate that just to the right of the entire <ul>. Programatically here's how I'm creating the tooltips:

Code:
function SetQuickTips() {
    var items = Ext.DomQuery.select('div[id=recentItems] ul li');  
    Ext.each(items, function(item) {
        ee = Ext.get(item);
        new Ext.ToolTip({

            //I expect the next three properties to anchor my
            //my tooltip to the <li> but it's not. It's behaving
            //as if anchorToTarget=false.

            anchorToTarget: true,
            target: ee,
            defaultAlign: 'tr-tl',
            width: 200,
            border: false,
            bodyBorder: false,
            bodyStyle: 'background-color: white;',
            html: '<h2>Job</h2>Title: Director IT<br>Created: Mon 7/1/10<br>Interest: High (9)<br>Status: Submitted',
            showDelay: 10
        });
    }, this);
}
}
I realize that this code won't accomplish my final goal but this isn't even behaving as I'd expect so I can't move forward. I would expect that the top of my tooltip would at least match the top of the <li> item that I'm linking it to. The problem is that the tooltip instead seems to be aligning to my mouse and ignoring the target completely.

I tried stepping through the Ext code and I do notice that in the Ext.ToolTip getTargetXY() method the tooltip object is missing an anchor property that seems to be key to triggering all the xy coordinate logic.

Any ideas?

Thanks
