I fixed it. Roger emailed me off line about getting some success with
putting {position: relative; } on the td and th, but that only made
those look funny to. But it got me thinking about trying it on the whole
table and that worked.
Then the other trouble I had was with the other links "shining trough"
the tool tip and I found this other version of css tool tips
http://www.soxiam.com/Code/CSSTooltips that put a z-index on the a and
the hover z-index on the a not the span.
This also worked.
So in the end, my css for the tool tips looks like this
#content a, * html #content table {position: relative; }
#content a {z-index:10;}
#content a span { display: none; font-weight:normal; text-align:left;}
#content a:hover {font-size: 100%; z-index:25;} /* IE/Win requires some
link change on hover in order to show the tool tips */
#content a:hover span { /*the span will display just on :hover state*/
display: block !important;
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
left: 40px;
width: 150px;
border: 1px solid #96c;
background-color: #ecf;
color: #000;
padding: 10px;
font-size: .8em;}
Thanks to cj and Roger (especially) for sticking with me on this!
