Hi folks,
I would appreciate some help.
I particularly invoke the contribution of those that already devoted 
their attention to my case:

if you open the following page:

http://www.giuseppecraparottacv.co.uk/work-web.html

you see the layout as it should be, everything is at the right place.
But the tooltip triggered by hovering on the first "let me tell you 
something..." (.popup) is

positioned through top and left margin.  This implies wrong placement of 
the tooltip in IE6

& 7.

Why don't I absolutely position the tooltip relative to .popup ?
Because it gets cut off due to the "overflow:hidden" declared for the ul.

Getting rid of

        ul {overflow:hidden;}
and
        li {float:left; width:100%}

would make the ul code cleaner and I would love that, but it implies 
that the tooltip looks

really buggy, especially in Opera 9.10 , as you can see at:

http://www.giuseppecraparottacv.co.uk/work-web2.html

Besides, in this last version the absolutely positioned ".works", 
relative to <li> looks out of

place in IE5. I'm thinking of resorting to an html hack to solve that.
The "float:right" positioning method (commented) seems disastrous, given 
the removal of

the properties mentioned above.

MY QUESTIONS ARE :
1) Is there a way to get rid of overflow:hidden, float and width from ul 
and li and having a

correct displaying of the tooltip?
2) Given the removal of these properties, is there a way to position 
absolutely the .works

link consistently in FF, IE and Opera 9.10 without recurring to a IE hack?
If the answer to these questions is "NO" or similar,
3) Would you approve the choice of positioning the tooltip as in case A) 
and recurring to

IE-specific code to position it correctly in IE?

Thank you, hope this won't bother you,
cheers,
G
