Aris,

column highlighting conflict is fixed, however the problem under IE9

persists: I can't read a thing in these tooltips.

Fixed in my git. After went through the qTip code, I found there was a bug in qTip. The bug make tooltips initialized with empty string always have 20px width in (my) IE. I'll report this bug to qTip community.

Thank you for the feedback.

I'd say don't bother reporting that to the qTtip crowd since qTip 1 is

deprecated (the version we use), they are working on qTip 2, which is

not yet released (yeah, I know, that makes no sense...).

By the way, now we have 2 different types of tooltips, I'd love to see

them being unified some how. The other kind of tooltips are also created

in functions.js, by function initTooltips(). So maybe PMA_createqTip()

can be used to create those, too. Also the two functions should be

phisically next to each other in the file, since they are kind of

related. And the cherry on the cake would be if these two types of

tooltips could be styled in a similar way and thus look more consistent.

The style can be similar but I still think it's good to have them
differ slightly for the 2 different uses. One for hints such as "Hey
you can sort this table by clicking the columns" and the others for
longer footnotes and explanations.

So I find it great that Aris' tooltip is fancy and animated for the first case.
