ie8 with imagemapster - position:absolute not working

Question

Using the imagemapster jquery script (tooltip.js). My tool tips need to be position:absolute. This is running perfectly with the exception of:Windows XP/7 ie8. This is the test page: http://cjehost.com/qt/panorama/testpages/examples/page2.html Here is the html:

The last pair of chromosomes determines sex: Men usually have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome.

Here's the related css: .blkBG{border: none; background-image:url( http://cjehost.com/qt/panorama/testpages/examples/images/bg-black.png ) !important;padding:10px; color:white; -moz-border-radius: 3px; -webkit-border-radius: 3px;border-radius:3px; opacity: 0.9;position:absolute !important;line-height:1.15em;}

Answer 1

I didn't see this right away, but ie8 wasn't responsive. I added respond.js and it's running fine.
