/*
dd any variables we want to include on the global level of the namespace. By setting these variables globally we can access them in any of the child functions and quickly change them without sorting through the code.

    * id (string) – id of the tooltip
    * top (integer) – number of pixels to offset the tooltip from the top of the cursor
    * left (integer) – offset to the right of the cursor
    * maxw (integer) – maximum width in pixels of the tooltip
    * speed (integer) – value to increment the tooltip opacity during transition
    * timer (integer) – represents the speed at which the fade function in performed
    * endalpha (integer) – target opacity of the tooltip
    * alpha (integer) – current alpha of the tooltip
    * tt, t, c, b, h – these represent global variables to be set later
    * ie (boolean) – global variable based on browser vendor
