Seeking help on js popup repositioning behaviour

Hello:
I'm looking for some assistance with a third-party script I'm using that incorporates onmouseover popups. If the content of the popup is too large to appear within the visible window just below the onmouseover spot, two different behaviours occur in firefox and IE 6:
IE 6 will elongate the browser window via scrolling to allow the popup to be viewed - but you must physically scroll the window further down after doing the onmouseover.
Firefox will reposition the popup elsewhere in the visible window.
I think the repositioning behaviour is the preferred user experience (although I'd like it to still be anchored to the onmouseover spot, not far away), but my js knowledge is far too limited to understand why these two different behaviours are happening.

one solution I found is to change:
to this:
...but it would be nicer if the popup anchored to the onmouseover spot...
