1) Script Title: Image w/ description tooltip

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/imagetooltip_dev.htm

3) Describe problem: Tooltip does not appear in IE7 when var tipFollowMouse= false;

The little red dot at the right is hyperlinked, as is the page heading for testing.

thanks in advance

Confirmed. Inside the script, find the below line, and add to it the line in red:


if (!tipFollowMouse) {
standardbody=(document.compatMode=="CSS1Compat")? document.documentElement : document.body

I've also updated the script with the script.

Hey, I really appreciate the quick fix.

Wanted to suggest though that you update the instructions for this script. Looking through the forum postings I see that many people are confused by the

/* IMPORTANT: Put script after tooltip div or
put tooltip div just before </BODY>. */

Which is understandable, since there is no tooltip div and since the example has the script inside the <head>.

1) Script Title: Image w/ description tooltip

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...ooltip_dev.htm

3) Describe problem: when i take out the .gif in this script none of the text will not show up

my code can be found here. www.granisonshines.com/40skillsthankyou.html

basically, the code has this in it ('duck2.gif','Motivates and inspires others to act; inspires trust and respect in others.')

i would like to it to read ('Motivates and inspires others to act; inspires trust and respect in others.')

Please advise!!
