Yep, its me again :wink:
I've been looking at your tooltips example and I've been pondering whether there is a way to have the tooltips display for the submenus? I see you used onClick and onMouseOver, I assume it has to be this way so as to not cause some confusion for the script.
Taking into consideration that my submenus are text and that I would like the tooltips to show onMouseOver, is this possible or am I grasping at straws again? :?

Well, you can achieve it by making a given "tooltip" menu a sub menu of the item you want a tooltip for. You can then set UseSubImg:false for the item so that no sub menu indicator image is displayed. You can also tweak a bit the position of the "tooltip" by setting custom top and left position of the tooltip menu- you can use the defaultX and defaultY keywords when setting T (top) and L (left) for that menu. For more details, please take a look at the "Important howtos" -> "7. To define custom position for any sub menu" in the manual.
There is also another simple way to define a tooltip for any menu item- just set the Title menu item property and most browsers will display its value in a tooltip when the cursor is over the menu item.
