Georg, thank you very much, your tooltip code works amazingly well in all browsers apart from... Opera 9.10!, where the tooltip still looks terribly buggy and the position:static to the <li> moves the "works" links in a improbable spot... Besides, in all browsers apart from IE the tooltip is abruply interrupted when the ul ends. Any remedy for that? :-) But hey, I'm still very grateful! Are you maybe curious to see what the fixes can be? If I discover something I'll let the list know.
Go to the page from here: http://www.giuseppecraparottacv.co.uk/work-web-test-works-absolute.html Now Georg, let me make you few questions for the Knowledge... 1) USE OF STATIC POSITIONING your fix revolves around the use of position:static . To make you laugh I quote here David Sawyer Mc Farland, whose I've read the very good CSS book: "Why would you want to assign an element static positioning? The short answer: You probably never will" (CSS The Missing Manual, Chapter 12). Is there any rationale behind the use of static? Isn't static the default value? Why does it make the tooltip display on top? 2) DISPLAY:INLINE TO THE "WORKS" <A> Any particular reason to specify that? <a> is inline as default. On the other hand, the floating transforms it in a block element. I removed display:inline and the code still works. Any comment? 3)HEIGHT:AUTO!IMPORTANT IN .POPUP SPAN I also got rid of that, assuming you added it to correct the aspect of the tooltip, due to the height value given by me. But that was just provisory :-) . 4) MARGIN: -1.4EM 10% 0 0 Why do you place the .works using both ems and percentages? Any advantage from the promiscuity? ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
