Nasty tooltip strikes again!

Question

Hi folks,
I would appreciate some help.
I particularly invoke the contribution of those that already
devoted their attention to my case. By reading this post, you'll
notice I have applied your useful suggestions. Still my page needs
"medical" support, though...
if you open the following version:
CASE A)
http://www.giuseppecraparottacv.co.uk/work-web.html
you see the layout as it should be, everything is at the
right place.
But the tooltip triggered by hovering on the first "let me
tell you something..." (.popup) is
positioned through top and left margin. This implies wrong
placement of the tooltip in IE6
& 7.
Why don't I absolutely position the tooltip relative to
.popup ?
Because it gets cut off due to the "overflow:hidden" declared
for the ul.
Getting rid of
ul {overflow:hidden;}
and
li {float:left; width:100%}
would make the ul code cleaner and I would love that, but it
implies that the tooltip looks
really buggy, especially in Opera 9.10 , as you can see at:
CASE B)
http://www.giuseppecraparottacv.co.uk/work-web2.html
Besides, in this last version the absolutely positioned
".works", relative to <li> looks out of
place in IE5. I'm thinking of resorting to an html hack to
solve that.
The "float:right" positioning method (commented) seems
disastrous, given the removal of
the properties mentioned above.
MY QUESTIONS ARE :
1) Is there a way to get rid of overflow:hidden, float and
width from ul and li and having a
correct displaying of the tooltip?
2) Given the removal of these properties, is there a way to
position absolutely the .works
link consistently in FF, IE and Opera 9.10 without recurring
to a IE hack?
If the answer to these questions is "NO" or similar,
3) Would you approve the choice of positioning the tooltip as
in case A) and recurring to
IE-specific code to position it correctly in IE?
Thank you, hope this won't bother you,
cheers,
G

Something I have noticed is that, since the first appearance of OpenRG, I have twice as many CWMP sessions every day. Looking at the TR069 event log, I see that I still get the CODE 2 PERIODIC session at 24 hour intervals that I've always had, but now they're immediately followed by a CODE 6 CONNECTION REQUEST session. Clearly BT or their agents have set things up so that this happens every day, but nothing seems to follow from it, and the 1.7 firmware still isn't installed, or a new file downloaded.
