Title Tooltips

PapaGeek · 11th June 12, 06:40 PM

First of all, I'm sorry that the page I'm sending you to is far from complete, but I'm trying to solve an issue with the tool tips.

http://www.variablehtml.com/settings.htm

The concept of the table is to explain how CSS can be used to create and or change the design of a page template. I want the pop-up tooltip to explain the CSS coding used to create each effect. This works really great on Firefox, but the text block is too small on IE. It wraps the text and chops off the bottom of the tip itself.

Does anyone know if there is a way to control the size of the tooltip on IE?

My guess would be that IE has some kind of max length for those. I'd suggest you use JS to create the effect.

Thanks Chris, I'm definitely going to look at that code and most likely change the site to use it.
