Any experience with tooltips in nested <div>s?

Post by shadowphiar »

I've had some questions from users about my game Steam Works. In it, I have some large rectangular areas (represented by a DIV element) containing some detail areas (represented by another DIV element nested inside the first). The outer area has a tooltip attached, and the inner areas have their own tooltips attached.

Usually, this works. But users are reporting that sometimes, when pointing at an inner area, actually the tooltip for the outer area is displayed. They have to move the mouse away and back in again before the correct tooltip is displayed. It seems to be both more common and less convenient on mobile.

Any tips to making this work as intended?

Yes I have it all the time which is quite annoying. It depends how fast you move the mouse and from what direction it is coming...
I have not figured out how to fix it yet, but it definetly framwork bug (bga or dijit.Toolip)
