jQuery clearInterval not working
<p>I have the following hover function </p>

<pre><code>function tt_attachToBase(){
        jQuery.each(bases,
            function(index,base){

                jQuery(base).hover(function() {  
                         jQuery(base).showTipTimer = setInterval( function(){tt_locateBase(base);} , 3000 ); 
                             },  
                            function() {  
                                clearInterval(jQuery(base).showTipTimer);
                                tt_hideTip();
                                    }

                    }); 
            }

        );
</code></pre>

<p>inside tt_locateBase() I also clear interval like this</p>

<pre><code>tt_locateBase(base){
clearInterval(jQuery(base).showTipTimer);
//code to sidplay tooltip
}
</code></pre>

<p>the tooltip does display after an interval, but the interval it seems is never cleared since the tooltip keep recurring over base. what am I doing wrong? </p>
