Help with tooltip - HTML

I am trying to create a tooltip. I used the span element. Anyways i got the tooltip working but i am having some problem.

When i move the mouse on top of the word and the message comes up, NOT all of the words are displayed. Part of it gets cut off. So i guess it's too long.

Is there anyway to resolve this?

Could we see some code at all?

If not, DynamicDrive has some good code for a tooltip function. And they have even more here.

GUIStuff also has a nice code generator. Though you have to make an account (free) to be able to use it.

I found the answer on the link that Bill gave me...THANKS ALOT BY THE WAY. It turns out that it also has to do with broswer limit character. If i view it on IE, it display the entire content but when i view it in firefox it display only part of it.

Holy cow large_nostril that gui link is really nice. THANKS ALOT.

Interesting... I haven't ever heard of (or encountered) this issue before. Something I'll have to look into.

No problem, I learned a lot from that site when I was just starting with HTML, DHTML, CSS, JS, etc.
