Re: #17
Agreed that the tool-tip cannot be displayed for the duration of the mouse-over. By triggering the pop-down event on pointer movement, the pop-down would still occur, even if the pointer remained over the object. Hence my suggestion for the use of flags to control the pop-up/pop-down behaviour. The tool-tip needs to pop-up just once, pop down under user direction (slight pointer movement) and then stay down, unless the user deliberately acts to cause it to pop up again (moves pointer off object and hovers over it again).
I too have created pages where having the tool-tip pop down is essential and having it repeatedly pop up on a timer is a nuisance, preventing access to what is underneath. I'm certain this can be solved as above.
