Tooltips sometimes don't appear

Hi, I've noticed a small issue with tooltips - when a tooltip is displayed and you move your mouse rapidly from one link to another, the next tooltip will not appear. Have a look at the following simple example (I checked with the latest 5.728 version).

Code:

<head>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="milonic_src.js"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="menu_style.js"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="mmenudom.js"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="tooltips.js"></SCRIPT>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#" onmouseover="showtip('tooltip1');" onmouseout="popdown();">Tooltip 1</a><br><br>
<a href="#" onmouseover="showtip('tooltip2');" onmouseout="popdown();">Tooltip 2</a><br><br>
<a href="#" onmouseover="showtip('tooltip3');" onmouseout="popdown();">Tooltip 3</a><br><br>
</body>

The reason for this - it seems to me - is that the first tooltip is not disappearing immediately when onmouseout event fires.
when I add a line

Code:

_menuCloseDelay=0;

tooltips are ok but it is a global setting and interferes with the menus - I don't want them to dissapear so quickly.
How could I resolve this problem?

regards,

Hi,

I've changed the code slightly to fix this problem.

This can be found in the Pre Release version of the menu, at http://www.milonic.com/menuvinfo.php

The version you need is 5.729PR.

This version will be released very soon.

Hope this helps,
Andy
