Afternoon ladies and gents.

I'm experiencing a weird issue.  I have a div that contains popup
information for when users hover over specific items on the page.
Everything looks beautiful in firefox, but IE takes a dump (go
figure).

I was wondering if anyone might have an idea why?

Here's what I got:

When someone hovers over the appropriate thing:

$("#mypopup").html(myText).show().css({'top' : ypos, 'left': xpos});

ypos and xpos are the coordinates of the mouse on the screen.

When I look at it in Firefox, the div is shown and "pops up" next to
the mouse (I do a little ofsetting with xpos and ypos).

However in IE, it causes the div to just be shown, which pushes
everything under it down (and causes things to flicker because now the
mouse isn't on the item that should trigger the popup).

I've tried searching known css() issues in IE, but haven't found
anything that pertains to this situation (modifying the top and left
of an element).

Thanks in advance.
