[jopr-dev] review my proposal for the AI queue UI page

[Joseph Marques]

ok, so i tried enclosing the h:commandLink in a div and nested the 
toolTip inside that (as the last component child), and specified the 
"for" attribute (and even the id attribute for the toolTip) and it still 
didn't work.  i'm thinking that adding an image somehow.  i tried the 
same div-wrapping trick around the h:graphicImage tag, but still 
nothing.  it seems, as mazz found out, that once you add a graphImage to 
the picture, things seem to stop working as expected.
