Hardcode any necessary styles with JS. For example, a tooltip[1] needs absolute positioning and a resonable high z-index. Style everything else via stylesheets, using IDs and classes: There can by only one tooltip instance at a time, so it is safe to give it an ID (#tooltip). Subelements of the tooltip are referenced by tag names or classes (h3, p.body, p.url). The plugin allows to add extra classes to the tooltip when applied to certain elements, allowing you to give one tooltip several styles. I think Stefan Petre (Interface) prefers the JS approach: Put everything into JS, require no additional CSS files. Works quite well, too, and is easier to manage with lots of plugins used.
