JavaScript MouseOver ToolTips and Internet ExplorerWe normally use JavaScript Tooltips and MouseOver DIV effects to show certain information when the user hovers the mouse over the particular hotspots of the page. But we normally face the problem of our MouseOver effect getting back of certain type of controls like Dropdown, TextArea etc.
Of late, this had been a bit nagging issue with one of my pages and I was trying to make some workarounds like a hidden div and second stylesheet to make the control go back and it worked. Just I came across the following URL, which I hope would really be useful for many developers worldwide in a more elegant solution to this problem:

It uses a combination of the tricks that I have used like a DIV along with a IFRAME to achieve the purpose.
