Tool tip to not move

Question

Hi I'm a big fan. long time lurker first time poster
Currently the position of the tool tip depends on where the cursor first hovers over the image.  Is there a way for the tool tip to appear in the same place no mater where the image is hovered?
below is the js and css
thanks

I couldn't get this script to work with my code:
<a id="greensource" href="a"><img src="images/greensource.png" alt="Greensource Initiative" width="193" height="71" border="0" usemap="#Map7" id="sprytrigger6" title="Greensource Initiative" />
<map name="Map7" id="Map7">
<area shape="rect" coords="-22,-15,197,79" href="#" />
</map>
</a>
<div class="tooltipContent" id="green">
<div class="secondback">
<div style="padding: 15px;">
<h1>GREENSOURCE</h1>
<h2>INITIATIVE&#8482;</h2>
<p>Manufactred within Greensource Initiative&#8482; guildelines for use of recycled materials, renewable energy and non-hazardous packaging materials. RoHS Compliant.</p>
<p class="morebutton"><a href="#">LEARN MORE</a></p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var sprytooltip7 = new Spry.Widget.Tooltip("green", "#greensource");
//-->
</script>
Maybe someone can point out my problem?
