Enhanced tooltip/popup

[buzz]

Jack,
Do you have any plans on building an enhanced tooltip, similar to what Netflix uses when displaying the summary of a movie.

Just place the mouse over any movie to see the popup.

Not Jack, but since a tooltip is just another HTML element, it would be pretty easy for you to implement. All you have to do is come up with the layout/CSS for a tooltip and put that into the innnerHTML/Dom of the tooltip object.

There are examples all over the web featuring fancy tooltips - heck you could probably borrow Netflix's

I think Dustin Diaz has some nice tooltip code based on YUI too.

There's already a tooltip in the base YUI classes

You are right and I'd designed my tooltip like that. But one thing missing in that is I am unable to make tooltip hide when user takes mouse cursor away from the tooltip window.
