Patch: disable tooltip on mouse, at place tooltip at bottom left of element.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I wanted tooltips on input boxes, but the damn tooltips kept getting in the
way of typing. So i added an option to allow the ability to have the
tooltip appear at the mouse, or in the bottom left of the element with the
tooltip on.

ADD TO DEFAULT OPTIONS:

showAtMousePointer: true    // If true, the tooltip appears at the position
of the mouse pointer, else the bottom left of the element if false.

REPLACE SHOW() METHOD WITH:

    show: function(e) {

        if (this.options.showAtMousePointer) {
            this.xCord = Event.pointerX(e);
            this.yCord = Event.pointerY(e);
            } else {
            this.xCord = this.el.cumulativeOffset()['left']+5;
            this.yCord = this.el.cumulativeOffset()['top']+this.el.getHeight()-20;
        }

        if(!this.initialized)
            this.timeout = window.setTimeout(this.appear.bind(this),
this.options.delay);
    },

REPLACE THE UPDATE() METHOD WITH:

    update: function(e){
        if (this.options.showAtMousePointer) {
            this.xCord = Event.pointerX(e);
            this.yCord = Event.pointerY(e);
            } else {
            this.xCord = this.el.cumulativeOffset()['left']+5;
            this.yCord = this.el.cumulativeOffset()['top']+this.el.getHeight()-20;
        }
        this.setup();
    },

Change this.xCord = this.el.cumulativeOff... & this.yCord = 
this.el.cumulativeOff... to:

this.xCord =
this.el.cumulativeOffset()['left']-this.el.cumulativeScrollOffset()['left']+docu
ment.viewport.getScrollOffsets()['left']+5;
this.yCord =
this.el.cumulativeOffset()['top']-this.el.cumulativeScrollOffset()['top']+docume
nt.viewport.getScrollOffsets()['top']+this.el.getHeight()-20;

It will fix anything to do with scroll bars. Including the document scroll bar 
+ any
parent scroll bars created using overflow:auto/scroll

Kind regards,
Scott
