There is a note on the website which says: The following is a Netflix
copycat. Note: Does not work properly in IE properly, as it uses 24bit
pngs, which IE doesn't support (by default:)
Because of this I did not use the "Netflix" style tooltip, just the
normal style. In addition to the above note, I did have some issues
with it (not IE specific though).
I didn't like the idea of having to add a bunch of divs on my pages. So
I needed to dynamically create new tooltip divs. My problem was when I
attempted to dynamically add the tooltip via the
Tooltip.add ('idOfActivator', 'idOfTooltip'); function he describes on
the website it didn't work correctly. However, when the div had the
"tooltip" class defined everything worked fine. So this was my work
around (just the important stuff):
className = "tooltip for_" + startDiv.id;
Element.addClassName(outerDiv, className);
// make it a new tooltip, do normal setup
Tooltip.setup();
// move the tooltip to the cursor location
Tooltip.autoMoveToCursor = true;
//show the tooltip
Tooltip.toggle(startDiv, event);
That way you are using the class name to create the tooltip, however it
is still dynamic. Did you have any specific issues with it in IE?

I wanted to let you know that this worked great. I added a little to
allow for the tooltip to show dynamic content, but this helped out a
lot. Thanks for the help finding this!

Have you checked out http://tooltip.crtx.org/index.php. Not sure if it
meets your needs.
