aside from font % which affected the page font and tooltip font differently, i couldn't find any css that stylized the tooltip font, so i'm using css tooltip, where i have more control over appearance but no text-box click, tooltip-off feature! that's my favorite thing joern's script.
as a newbie to js frameworks, i'm noticing the difficulty with styling makes me want to find my own solutions (like in this case). for example i like yahoo's yui, but it seems like i'm sacrificing my page styling to the yui script. their tooltip is a div, which takes up a chunk of my page, when i need the feature nested within my own div (which either isn't possible with yui or i don't know how to do it). knowing nothing about js other than how complex it seems, i'm relegated to framework or find css or php solutions. (i do use jquery corners; it's great!) your suggestions appreciated.
