Tooltips "too" sticky

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add an image tag with an anchor tag wrapped around, making the image a link.
2. Add a tooltip to the anchor tag.
3. Use the above in a Modalbox with Ajax loading the content for the link.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the tooltip to fade out, instead it just sticks there until I
manually reload the entire page.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Modalbox 1.5.5 and CoolTips 1.0 on Windows XP with Firefox 2.0.0.8.

Please provide any additional information below.

I'm having a similar problem except I have an image (with a tooltip) that acts 
as a
button to delete the element that button is inside. When the element gets 
deleted,
the tooltip stays on the screen.

This is an easy fix.  Add the "click" event to hide the tooltip:

        Event.observe(this.el, "mouseover", this.showEvent );
        Event.observe(this.el, "mouseout", this.hideEvent );
        Event.observe(this.el, "click", this.hideEvent );//new line to fix 
issue
