I can only guess without a link to your actual code
here is an example
Code:

"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title></title>
<style type="text/css">
#dhtmltooltip{
position: absolute;
width: 150px;
border: 2px solid black;
padding: 2px;
background-color: lightyellow;
visibility: hidden;
z-index: 100;
/*Remove below line to remove shadow. Below line should always appear last within this CSS*/
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(color=gray,direction=135);
}
</style>
</head>

<a href="#"onMouseover="ddrivetip('JavaScriptKit.com JavaScript tutorials','yellow', 300)";
onMouseout="hideddrivetip()">link</a>
