Hmmm...the popup not showing up problem is gone.

eugenga, may I propose that you add id attributes for the favicon image, the title, and the domain? Styling them becomes tricky and other web page's CSS override the stylings.

Your problem with hovers might be an innerHTML problem. A lot of userscripts use innerHTML a non-standard function invented by Microsoft, which has a habit of causing havoc with eventListeners like mouseovers. Just a guess, it's probably not Greasemonkey's fault, but the script authors.

Thanks for the update. Oh yeah, I'm not sure if it's a Greasemonkey bug, but when you hover over links created through Greasemonkey scripts, and when you hover on them with this script, no tooltips appear.

I found a lot of fixes for my problems regarding this script.

If tooltips are stretching to as long as the page's width, use:
width: auto !important;

If tooltip content is spaced differently per page, use:
line-height: 1.2 !important;

If tooltips are sometimes covered (excluding Flash objects, of course):
z-index: 9999999999 !important;

If tooltips stretch too long because of uber long URLs:
max-width: 50% !important;

These problems are mostly caused by in-page CSS, and this can be remedied by adding custom CSS into the script. An '!important' token would help too.

I'm using Windows...and the problem seemed to have went away. Dunno how or why.

I noticed that the text inside the tooltip is cropped by 1px from the right. Is it just me or is this problem also evident in other set-ups?

I'd love this a lot a lot more if there was a delay to it, so it didn't always pop up, if that's possible I wouldn't know..

Nice update, but sometimes the tooltip stretches to the width of the page.

The tooltip should also have a z-index greater than 1000 (probably 999999?) because elements in some sites can just get on top of the tooltip. You can add this to the tooltip div's css for better text spacing consistency:

line-height: 1.2 !important;

Some sites can override the properties of the tooltip, such as alignment and font size. Using CSS, variables, and the !important token might help this.

You should also add a variable that sets whether the title and the domain should be bolded or not.

Thanks.

Very nice implementation. Only a few gripes.

The tooltip seems to be too high that when you're hovering on a link that's near the top, you won't be able to see its content.

Additional features from this script (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/4059) would also be cooler. Support for form buttons would make this the best script ever.

Overall though, it looks very nice and it's functional.
