Hi all,
May be some can help on this problem. When the tooltip plugin [http://
plugins.jquery.com/project/tooltip] is applied to an absolutely
positioned box nested into a larger absolutely positioned box, all
boxes flicker when the mouse is hovering and if the tooltip eventually
displays is only because the boxes disappear.
Playing with the overflow property makes to have different behavior
such as just the background box to disappear and the inner box remain
visible, but still providing a quite strange effect.
I prepared a simple test page to show this problem, it will run ok in
Firefox (at least version 3.04 in Linux) but will fail in Internet
Explorer 7 in windows XP.
You can find the test page at

Kind regards
Miquel
