for the scroll offset when working with event coordinates * compensated for lack of max-width for IE * fixed broken float right for IE (cannot assign through DOM) * float right causes tooltip to stretch to widht of page, fixed that * fixed javascript error because IE doesn't have e.target (event.srcElement instead) version 0.1.1 (2002/11/10): * pass in options as Hash * cache created tips to
