Using jQuery UI Tooltips With Flot

Flot charts work nicely in jQuery projects. Especially since it's targeted for jQuery-based code. These charts can work well in jQuery UI projects too because they're very granular in their configuration values. You can make the charts look like they're seamlessly integrated into your theme. There was, however, one place I was having trouble with until recently — tooltips. I like being able to show the user some more detail when they hover over data points. Flot even provides an example of how to do this using a generic tooltip component, constructed on the fly. I want to show jQuery UI tooltips using the same approach. This is what I came up with.
