Note that clientWidth is read-only, which means qTip can't change it
directly.
Maybe it helps you to know that the CSSOM
standard<http://www.w3.org/TR/cssom-view/#dom-element-clientwidth>says that
clientWidth returns 0 if the element doesn't have any CSS layout
box associated or if the layout box is inline.
Though without a test case it's hard to give more info than that.
