overLIB

i’ve been using this library on a few of my projects for a few years. (first read about it from scriptygoddess.)

useful links: download (latest version is V4.21 released in 2005), basic instructions, command references.

note about IE: when displaying tooltips on html forms, the tip will hide behind drop down boxes. this only happens on IE. to fix, include overlib_hideform.js.

wz tooltip

i found out about this when i was looking for browser / web drag and drop libraries.

the usage is like overLIB. there’s one additional feature that overLIB doesn’t have (unless it was overlooked). this library has the capability to convert html element into tooltip.

update: for usage notes, read this.
