Tooltip JS

We have open sourced a simple method for Javascript tool tips. It's a nice approach that we developed in the heat of collaboration, and we thought we should share it. This script is dependent on jQuery, but it could be done with vanilla Javascript, prototype, or any of the other libraries.
