I have a set of observers applied to a div to make a child of that  
div (a close box) appear or disappear when the parent div is moused  
over/out. I am seeing some very odd behavior and I am not sure where  
to start looking for clues.

I'm using the latest Prototype and Scriptaculous.

An absolutely positioned DIV contains an inline table and a child  
absolutely positioned div containing the close button. The close  
button is set to appear when the parent DIV is moused over, and it  
does. The close button is set to disappear when you mouse out of the  
parent DIV.

Unfortunately, the mouseover / out event fires every time you cross  
any sort of child content boundaries. So in this case, it fires when  
you move over one cell or another in the table, or when you cross one  
of the paragraphs inside one of the table cells. So the close box  
appears and disappears with sickening frequency.

Does this ring a bell for anyone? I have tried a whole lot of  
different approaches to fix this, but nothing seems to work.
