    Default Help in delaying a tooltip

    Hello,

    I'm using the tooltip Cool DHTML Tooltip from dynamic located here:
    http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...tmltooltip.htm

    I appreciate if someone help me in putting a open delay when mouseover. I want to show the popup after 2 seconds of having the over the linked text.

    Thanks
