Needing to dynamically change the tool tip on the fly, I added this to my version, just above the "show" function:
resetTooltip: function(t) {
this.title = t;
if (this.$tipsy) {
this.$tipsy.remove();
}
this.ready = false;
},
Call it this way:
$('#objId').data('tooltipsy').resetTitle("new tooltip text");
