@DustyReagan:
Well.. try your code before without detaching, spend a few minutes on
your page and hover over EVERY image and see how it performs, do it on
all browsers as well, do it with some other tabs open, with more
applications opened, etc... stress your system, and see how well it
performs, and then, add the code that will detach/destroy the Tips
instance and test again.... ;-)
Do you have a live demo to take a lookt at it?? BTW, will this be a
project for the web, a cdrom, Air... what?
Cheers
Iván
