Agreed....it seems the "delay" property is broken

I'm also getting no response or love at all when defining the delay property on my site or even in the demo that mentioned and linked above:http://flowplayer.org/tools/demos/tooltip/any-html.html

I feel like I can "trick" it "maybe" half the time but it's very unpredictable. The only case that it's predictable and consistent is when it instantly disappears if you go anywhere off the trigger (except when you fully concentrate on getting the cursor directly to the tooltip as fast as humanly possible, which makes it feel like the "trick" that I just mentioned.)

I would love to implement this functionality for a drop down menu in the site's main navigation (would be soooo much cleaner and easier than every other "superfish" menu out there) but I can't afford to if it's totally inconsistent, the way it is now.

Also, I see the default value for the "delay" property is 30. What percentage or ratio does that represent? Is it .3 (tenths) of a second? 30 milliseconds? I'm pretty sure it's not 30 seconds...

Tero - this is a beautiful thing, what you're doing here. Is there a way to simply donate? Or is your only revenue through licensing the Flowplayer? Just in the last 2 months I will have published 4 (plus 1 clone) sites with 2 on the way that utilize this brilliant collection. Much love...

Hi, I tried delay value with 300. that was helpfull thank you, and I found slideOffset for space. I changed value of slideoffset to 0 . there is no space now. :)

What about using additional padding around your button? It's invisible to the user however you won't get the tooltip disappearing...If you would like help let me know and I can help.

Turns out my problem was that I was nesting the 'tooltip' element inside the 'trigger' element. This plugin doesn't like that.

I was trying to implement this 'tooltip' effect (as animated drop down menus) with wordpress's list_pages function that automatically nests sub pages and posts in a 'ul' (the tooltip) inside of the parent pages 'li' (the trigger). So I manually edited the template file to print the sub pages 'ul' totally separate from and outside the main navigation 'ul' and now everything is working exactly like it should (the way it was programmed of course!).

It's a shame that this plugin doesn't offer this kind of functionality yet. Regardless, editing the template to create my drop down navigation is insanely nicer than using any other 'animated drop down navigation' plugins available. Everything is cleaner, smaller and easier. Why is this tool-set so brilliant?
