The current tooltip implementation runs into the 'SELECT' issue on IE
(e.g. http://www.codetoad.com/forum/20_22736.asp). As we all know by
now, my DHTML/JS/CSS coding stinks.
From what I can figure out, a workaround is to dynamically create an
IFRAME that shares the exact dimensions of the 'toolTip' div created in
horde.js. it seems some pseudocode that may do this is as follows:
xxx.insertAdjacentHTML("afterEnd", '<IFRAME style="position:
absolute;z-index:4;" src="javascript:false;" frameBorder="0"
scrolling="no" id="tooltiphover_' + tooltipid + '" />');
var tt = document.getElementById("tooltiphover");
tt.style.top = divOb.style.top;
tt.style.left = divOb.style.left
tt.style.width = divOb.offsetWidth;
tt.style.height = divOb.offsetHeight;
And then the code to hide the iframe when the tooltip is completed:
var tt = document.getElementById("tooltiphover_" + tooltipid);
tt.style.visibility = 'hidden';
But I can't figure out how/where to put this code into horde.js to make
it work. Help from someone? (i probably should create a bug report
with this info but I figured the dev@ list would provide more feedback).
