I created a customized tooltip using CSS, it is working on Chrome and Firefox but not in IE.

Here is the code..

<style type="text/css" >
span.tool 
{  position: relative; }
 
span.tool span.tip 
{  display: none; }

span.tool:hover span.tip 
{
  display: block;
  z-index: 100;
  position: absolute;
  top: 1.6em;
  left: 200px;
  width: 450px;;
  padding: 3px 7px 4px 6px;
  border: 1px solid #336;
  background-color: #f7f7ee;
  text-align: left;
  color: #000;
  top:-100px;
}

#content span.tool::after 
{
  padding-left: 2px;            
  content: url(/img/bubble.gif);
}

</style>

Place where tool tip is showing..

<body>
<span class="tool">Wikipedia!<span class="tip">Hello
</span>
</span>
</body>

I have checked in IE9,IE8,IE7.
Also check once in some another PC.
