Image w/ description tooltip

[Signe]

Have a problem and wonder if someone can help.

I want http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...agetooltip.htm on a website I rebuild.

It works excelent in Netscape but not in IE. When you scroll down, the picture comes up longer and longer from the arrow so you, at last, not can se it.

You can check a test on www.orks.nu/ny/hastar.html
The page is on swedish, but code is code, links don't work.

Thanks!

This might not fix it but, this:

			<div id="tipDiv" style="position:absolute; visibility:hidden; z-index:500"></div>
		</div>

belongs right above this:

</body>

You have many things between them.

Hi!

I have a similar problem and your solution didn't help me!

It works fine in mozilla but not in IE, I'm talking about the tooltip when holding the mouse over the profile-link, it doesn't seem to follow the mouse as it should.

I could really use some help here.

Thanks in advance

It is your doctype declaration that is throwing things off. The script isn't compatible. The script can be made compatible in two steps:

1) There are 8 occurrences of:

document.body

in the script. Change all 8 to:

iecompattest()

2) At the top of the script, right after the credit:

/*

Visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com for this script
*/

put this function:

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

so it looks like this:

/*
Image w/ description tooltip- By Dynamic Web Coding (www.dyn-web.com)
Copyright 2002 by Sharon Paine
Visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com for this script
*/

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

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

That's it.

hi

i have the problem that the tooltip window is behind other frames...

do you have some ideas for an solution?

thx

[ddadmin]

something4u, there's no way for this script to display the tooltip across frames unfortunately.

I had the same problem with horizontal scrolling. The fix above worked great!!
