[jQuery] hover() and flickering problem

[jQuery] hover() and flickering problem


I use this extension code to make a hover tooltip. I want the tooltip
(a div with position:absolute) to display on top of the hovered
element. This works great.
But when moving the mouse, the mouseout and mouseover events are being
fired all the time, causing a flicker effect.
How do I escape that? I tried to place a 'return false' in the hover
but no luck.
$.fn.hoverhelp = function(txt) {
    $T = $(this).position().top;
    $L = $(this).position().left;
    $(this).hover(
        function(e){$('#hoverhelp').empty().html(txt).css({top:$T,left:
$L}).show();return false;},
        function(){$('#hoverhelp').hide();}
    );
};
