Your tooltip text will actually show up within an h3 tag wrapped inside the #tooltip div.
Keep your #tooltip styles the way they were (without the font-size property), and set up a new one like this: #tooltip h3 { font: normal 10px Verdana; margin: 0; padding: 6px 2px } (or whatever suits your needs) Good luck!
