Script: Image w/ description tooltip
http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/imagetooltip.htm

When I use this script in Firefox (with a long list of images/links), it works just fine:
The description table follows the mouse without a problem and very smoothly.

But when I display the same page in IExplorer, only with the first images/links the description table follows the mouse, then it just stays in the upper part of the page (and if I continue to scroll down, the table is not visible anymore because, well, like I just said, the table stays up there).

Is this fixable? :confused: I just read in some threads that there are bugs where the scripts run just fine on a browser (but no so fine on others, so I'm guessing this is a case like that). Thanks in advance for your help. :)

The script needs to be updated. Change every instance of:

document.body

to:

iecompattest()

Then add this function just above the credit:

function iecompattest(){
return (document.compatMode && document.compatMode.indexOf("CSS")!=-1)? document.documentElement : document.body
}
