I have been trying to implement many different tooltips on this page for my client, he's adamant that we have a picture of the product show up when you hover over the product name in the order page. I decided to use the super simple CSS tooltip, it's very easy to implement and does exactly what we want. It works on a dynamic page, the others I tried didn't.
I have made an example here: CSS tooltip in table example.<-- updated to remove errors.
HTML:
<table class="mytable" id="cart">
<tr id="titles">
<th id="varekodetext">Varekode</th>
<th id="produkttext">Produkt</th>
<th id="pristext">Pris</th>
<th id="emptee"> </th>
<th id="antalltext">Antall</th>
<th id="pristotaltext">Pris Total</th>
<th id="sletttext">Slett</th>

This page used to be displayed using divs, I have since changed it to a table, as it's tabular data and easier to work with. It worked fine when it used divs, now it's in a table, it won't display the span on hover.
My questions are:
Why is it not working?
How can I make it work?
- If not, does anyone know another super easy to implement tooltip that can work properly on a dynamic page?
Here's the DIV tooltip for reference: DIV display tooltip.
HTML:
<div id="JSwrap">
<div id="cart2Produkt">
<p><a href="/Target-7050-Softphone-USB-Duo.220" target="_blank" class="tooltip" title="Target 7050 Softphone USB Duo ">Target 7050 Softphone USB Duo
<span><img src="http://www.euroworker.no/public/upload/productimage/220-353-2.jpg?1251413379" alt="Target 7050 Softphone USB Duo " />
<br />
</span>
</a>
</p>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#JSwrap {
/*for jsfiddle only*/
position: absolute;
left: 100px;
top: 50px;
}
#cart2Produkt {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
width: 500px;
text-align: left;
padding: 10px;
}
#cart2Produkt a.tooltip span {
z-index: 999;
display: block;
position: absolute;
left: -999px;
opacity: 0;
padding: 2px 3px;
margin-left: 8px;
width: 130px;
-webkit-transition: opacity;
-webkit-transition-timing-function: ease-in;
-webkit-transition-duration: 500ms;
}
#cart2Produkt a.tooltip:hover span {
z-index: 999;
display: block;
position: absolute;
right: 50%;
opacity: 1;
background: #ffffff;
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
color: #6c6c6c;
top: -35px;
left: -15px;
z-index: 10;
border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
padding: 1px;
-webkit-transition: opacity;
-webkit-transition-timing-function: ease-out;
-webkit-transition-duration: 500ms;
}
#cart2Produkt img {
z-index: 999;
}
Edit: Just noticed it half works in IE8.
Update: It's now working in all browsers, thanks to Daniel pointing out my CSS errors, but is there a way to make it display outside of the table cell?
