Can you help? JS tool-tip stuck in "hidden overflow" from CSS

[PortalPacific]

Hello fellow Neowinians!! So... I have a caption bar that slides into the thumbnail on hover with 2 links inside. Then, when you hover over each link inside the caption bar it gives you a "tool tip" of type of info inside the links.

Because of the animation for the caption bar I had to use overflow:hidden; which is effecting the tooltip also.

I stripped away most of the site so it would be easier to look at the code.

Here is a link to my problem: portalpacific.co/test/
Hover over the thumb to see.

Also heres it zipped up if you prefer: portalpacific.co/test.rar

I broke the links because they were adding an A to the end for some reason and going to invalid page So please just copy and paste.

 

Anyone got the answer? :3

 

Lots of tytytyty!

I found this but not sure how to apply it.. :(
 

var parentElement = tooltipElement.parentNode;  
                         parentElement.style.overflow = "both";

Adding above mentioned code in "tipr.js" file makes no tooltip on hover... It disable completely. If this is your desired behavior, then simply add this to tipr.js file.

I guess i misunderstood the original stack overflow post i got that code from. I'm still where i started so if you know the answer that be great. I think we both know that isn't my desired effect. lol

 

There must be a way to override the hidden overflow for the js tooltip.

It's complicated.

To fix this you must put the animated item into a a seperate overflow div from the tooltip. But this prevents you from putting the tooltip in the horizontal center of the tag :/

 

Simply said, if you remove the overflow that clips the popup you also rmeove the overflow that clips the tooltip. 

 

I'll make a hacky fix tommorow.
