Tooltips redux

Another option: use JavaScript to create a pop-up box -- a sort of 
do-it-yourself tooltip.

I've written such a script to use on some of my sites. It's still a 
little buggy, but it seems to work in IE, Mozilla, and even Netscape 4 
(though not in Opera, sadly). Last I heard it didn't work on IE 4, but 
that can be fixed, I'm sure.

It uses CSS and the DOM for IE 5 and Mozilla/Netscape 6, but tables on 
Netscape 4. Best of all, it works both on focus and on mouseover, so you 
can tab through the links.

I'll be happy to send a copy of the script to anyone who wants it. Maybe 
you'll have time to work out the bugs. It's a bit complicated as it's 
currently written though... sorry.
