Tooltips Script Conflict? [Archive]

Hey There,

I am having a problem with two scripts, but mostly the one located here:

(DHTML Tip Message) http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex5/popinfo.htm

and the other one is located here:

(Image w/Description Tooltip) http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/imagetooltip.htm

The problem I'm experiencing may be viewed here:

http://www.berdusk.com/classes/index.htm

As you can see, the DHTML Tip Message will display if you hover the mouse over the links as the page loads, but not if you hover your mouse over the links after the page has loaded. Also, if you hover your mouse over the page as it loads and click on the Close link in the tip once it has finished loading, it will not open any other tips in that frame/page.

The other problem I'm having is the tips from the two scripts overlapping - I don't mind this so much as the fact that I'd prefer to have the Image w/Description Tooltip lap over the DHTML Tip Message instead of the other way around.

Here is a copy of my style.js (with a minor modification for space conservation as displayed in red text).

Any help I can get with making these scripts work as described above would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. :)

Hmmm at a glance the tooltips seem to be working properly for me even after the page has finisheed loading. Tested in IE7 and FF3.x What browser are you using?

Yes, at a glance they work - did you try closing the tips directly beneath the banner in the center of the page after opening them? The skills list tips in the IFRAME all work perfectly.

Also, there is still the minor issue of the tips from beneath the banner overlapping the Image Tooltips instead of the Images overlapping the banner link tooltips.

As for my browser versions, I'm running IE7 and FF1.5. It does this in both browsers, so (although I may need to update my FF) it isn't my browser version causing the problem. I've also looked at it from each of my two roommate's computers, a friend's house, and from a co-worker's. I haven't looked at anything on the page in Opera.

UPDATE: I tried removing the Image w/Description Tooltip from the page, and the links began working. This has not fixed my problem, but DOES confirm that there is a conflict between these two scripts. Is there anything I can do?
