one caveat, any approach like this (one that just uses css) will hide the tooltip if the thing it is tipping (or one of it's parents) is clipped by overflow:auto/scroll/hidden. the only way to get around that is using javascript (the toolt

wow, reading this and it's replies was somewhat surprising to me in the opposite way. I live in Utah, if I walked out to my back yard right now, given a little time, I could spot at least a couple satellites. I guess I just took it for gr

so I am totally in support of blocking SOPA/ACTA and as a developer it is really important to me but the call to action at the bottom is a little misguided. It actually makes me proud of humanity that more people want to petition for "stop

so chriseppstein, I would be interested in what you (as the creator of compass), in particular, have to say about which would be better: a "Compass Sprite" ( http://compass-style.org/reference/compass/helpers/sprites/ ) based approach or
