Javascript tooltip problem

    Trying to get tooltips working here:

    But for some reason they appear to the far right, sometimes hidden. I can't seem to figure out what's going on, is it due to css positioning? Any help would be really great.

    Not sure what the issue is, but this is a areally great tooltip script:

    cheers for that, i might give it a go. looks pretty nice.

    I think the problem lies with css positioning and the table element, its not as bad in IE6 as it is in FF3.

    Another nice one - http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/nicetitle/
    Your script seems to require seperate divs for each tooltip which is pretty uneccessary. It looks like the mouse position calculation isn't accurate enough. These other scripts will use the title attribute of the item you are hovering over for it's tooltips. Much more preferable and friendly to screen readers etc.
