It's a bug in Firefox. Currently the only real solution is to use "fake" tooltips (of which there are scores of libraries written, do a search for javascript tooltip). Or use something other than tooltips to convey such information.

Yeah, it's a serious annoyance.

It is an open bug (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45375[^]).

Workaround: JavaScript Overlib like in http://www.bosrup.com/[^]

Hi all,

I am developing one web page called Whiteboard where i need to assign jobs to the employees by dragging and dropping employees to the particular job using AJAX. Everything(Jobs and Employees) will be fetched from the database.

So i need to fetch each and every employee from the database and make it draggable and droppable so that i could drag and drop particular employee to the particular job.

So please reply to this post and let me know how could i achieve this in ASP.NET with the use of AJAX?

Thanks in advance.

I didn't even get close to understanding what you are trying to say. Please try again.

Use the window.setTimeout method to call the function:

onclick="window.setTimeout('demo(0);', 3000);"

You can use a JS library such as Prototype or jQuery to take care of a lot of the plumbing for you. Of course, if you're only dealing with a handful of options, you could just store them all in JS arrays and skip the whole AJAX thing completely - just associate each array with an option in the first combo, and load the appropriate one when the selection changes.

CSS Underlining

I have an issue where some hyperlinks the underline appears 1px closer to the text than normal. This causes problems if there is a hanging character such as (p,q,g,y etc). I can't seem to find a reason for it to happen, as it only happens on some of the links on the page I am working on. Any ideas on where to look?

Fire up Firebug and examine the composite styles on the hyperlink text (or if it only happens in IE, examine the runtimeStyle property... but you'll have to track down the source of the style manually). Pay particular attention to rules that set line-height, font-size, and border-bottom (yes, border-bottom is occasionally used in place of an underlined font style, and might well interfere with the descents).

I guess I should have mentioned it only happens in IE. I don't specify line-height (ever), there is no use of border-bottom, and the same style is used for links that render differently.
For example:

*snip*
<a class="someClass" href="whatever">Some Link</a>
*snip*
<a class="someClass" href="anotherwhatever">Some Other Link</a>
*snip*

One of those will display the underline at the correct point, and one won't. The only difference is that they are in different areas of the layout (ie in different divs)

Hmm... The only thing that makes sense to me is that, somehow, the containing DIV is changing applicable styles.
Though since you're using text-decoration: underline rather than border-bottom, it really shouldn't be possible to adjust the position of the underline at all, without changing the font...

...just out of curiosity, are either of the DIVs floated? And is your page in quirks mode? If so, try un-floating it and see if that makes a difference. IE has had some really odd ideas about what float means when it comes to rendering. (but this is the grasping at straws answer, i'm afraid)
