Don't know out of my head. If the tooltip is absolutely positioned and the containing block (for example, another div with position:relative) for this absolute positioning is outside of the overflow-div ... but I fear the table limits that, since positioning inside a table is difficult ... we need an example page. It depends. Scrollbars on a block inside a browser window with scrollbars could be worse than pushing the layout a bit.
