Turn off jQuery UI tooltip for certain elements

jquery-ui, tooltip

Solution

Set tooltip on all elements with:

$('*').tooltip();

And disable with

$('#menu *[title]').tooltip('disable');

Problem

For simplicity, I'd like to enable the jQuery UI tooltip widget on all elements of the page: Then disable it for certain elements or elements and their descendants. But this doesn't seem to work: ``` $(document).tooltip({ track: true }); $('#menu *[title]').tooltip({ disabled: true }); ``` My `$('#menu *[title]')` selector seems to work as I expect, getting all descendant elements that have a title attribute of the #menu element. So why isn't the disabled option working in `.tooltip({ disabled: true });` to disable the tooltip on those elements? Is there another way and/or better way to accomplish this?
