Spry Tooltips That Don't Extend The Page

Question

I am working on an intranet based returns system, and I am having a problem with tooltips that are 600px wide. If the tooltip is triggered near the edge of the page the tooltip will make the page wider, causing a scrollbar appear. It is impossible to scroll the page due to the tooltip vanishing once you move the mouse away.
I can't see any options to prevent this from happening. Does anyone have any clever ideas?
Cheers,
Steve

Hi Beth,
Thanks for the suggestion, it appears you are getting around this by offsetting each tooltip. This works for you as your triggers are small and in known locations.
I am using a repeated table cell as the trigger to load html content into a panel which is the tooltip:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var hp = new Spry.Widget.HTMLPanel("tooltip");   
var tt = new Spry.Widget.Tooltip("tooltip",".itrigger", {showDelay: 500, hideDelay:500, closeOnTooltipLeave: true, offsetX: "0px", offsetY:"0px"});
var tt = new Spry.Widget.Tooltip("tooltip",".sttrigger", {showDelay: 500, hideDelay:500, closeOnTooltipLeave: true, offsetX: "0px", offsetY:"0px"});
var observer =  {onPreLoad: function(){hp.setContent("<img src=\"/images/ajax-loader.gif\" />");}};
hp.addObserver(observer);
-->
</script>
This means my tooltip can appear all over the place. I will a large negative offset and see if its just as functional.
Cheers,
Steve
