Hi jquertil,
It could be that a tiny part of the tooltip is appearing right where
the mouse position is. If the tooltip gets in between your mouse and
the hovered element, it'll flicker off and on. Try offsetting the top
or left position, or both.

I use this extension code to make a hover tooltip. I want the tooltip
(a div with position:absolute) to display on top of the hovered
element. This works great.
But when moving the mouse, the mouseout and mouseover events are being
fired all the time, causing a flicker effect.
How do I escape that? I tried to place a 'return false' in the hover
but no luck.
$.fn.hoverhelp = function(txt) {
$T = $(this).position().top;
$L = $(this).position().left;
$(this).hover(
function(e){$('#hoverhelp').empty().html(txt).css({top:$T,left:
$L}).show();return false;},
function(){$('#hoverhelp').hide();}
);
};
