Hi all, May be some can help on this problem. When the tooltip plugin [http:// plugins.jquery.com/project/tooltip] is applied to an absolutely positioned box nested into a larger absolutely positioned box, all boxes flicker when the mouse is hovering and if the tooltip eventually displays is only because the boxes disappear. Playing with the overflow property makes to have different behavior such as just the background box to disappear and the inner box remain visible, but still providing a quite strange effect. I prepared a simple test page to show this problem, it will run ok in Firefox (at least version 3.04 in Linux) but will fail in Internet Explorer 7 in windows XP. You can find the test page at http://hitconsultants.com/Tooltips_failure/boxing_model.html Kind regards Miquel PS: I am resending this because I placed the wrong subject, apologies for duplication.
