But I haven't been able to figure out how to make a multi-line tooltip. I notice in your example you have a multi-line tooltip, but the source code seems more complicated than I need. I simply want to break up a tooltip over 2 lines to keep within a small map window size (only 200px!). How can this be done? Thx, James Thank you for this.

The question now becomes: Is it possible to reduce the height of the tooltip box? I only have 2 lines of text and the box is quite a bit bigger than necessary. I can't decipher the //DRAW TOOLTIP section in the source file as to how the logic determines the height of the box... Help? ;) Thx, James Okay, I’ve gone ahead and simply used all the source files you provided and modified the example to get close to what I want.

Currently, I think redraw is only called when you re-zoom the map (or otherwise refresh the entire map). Very nice work, simple yet very effective!

Your tooltip script is awesome. What impressed me the most (and which led me to use it) was it's size: about 1.5kb. Good job, keep the good work. P.S.: nice layout of your blog, too.
