[OpenLayers-Users] Fwd: graphicTitle tooltip in Chrome and Opera browsers

[Marc Jansen]

Hi John,

(I cc'ed my answer to the dev-list, as I guess it belongs there)

I would suggest opening an enhancement-ticket and attaching the patch 
(together with a test) as it seems to be at least a partial solution. I 
cannot tell you what to do, to get the tooltip working in Chrome, though.

If you decide against opening a ticket/providing a patch, please send 
the code in question to the dev-list. Thanks anyway.

Regards,
Marc
