Firefox and onMouseOut event

Hi,

I've developed a page which will display a number of images and when the
mouse moves over the image, some information about the image is displayed at
the cursor position (so as the cursor moves, so does the info - it's in a
DIV element). This generally works well.
However, I have a problem when I'm using Firefox 2.0 where when I move the
mouse, the DIV is shown, but as soon as I stop, the DIV disappears - it
seems that an onMouseOut event is fired - I expected this to be fired only
when I moved the mouse off the image. It works exactly as I'd expect when
using IE6.

Has anyone got any suggestions as to how I can achieve what I'm looking
for - i.e. display some info when I move the mouse over the cursor, and have
it disappear when I move the cursor off the image?

Many thanks

Actually, it seems it's not a problem - my mistake.

For any of you wondering (and I'm sure there are loads of you!), it seems
that setting position of the DIV to the cursor position fires the onmouseout
event. Adding a couple of pixels to the X & Y co-ordinates resolves that.
Obvious with hindsight.
