Thanks, I changed the code and it is running better especially when
running Firefox and Safari are working very well. IE 6/7 still remains
a problem.
I've narrowed it down to where the layer popup is showing up. For
instance, if I make the "layer pop-up" render above (y-axis not z) the
hover point then it's very fast. If I make the layer pop-up" render
exactly over the hover point then it's very slow.
So, if you hover over something and then pop-up a layer under it (i.e.
where the mouse is), should the performance under IE6/7 be as bad as
I'm seeing?
