Currently I am using the javascript tooltips called EZPZ tooltips. Here is the demo page of EZPZ tooltips.
I have this kind of layout with html and css.
The largest div is with position relative with margin-left:auto; and margin-right:auto; and inside the small box is with position absolute.
Here is the full code for this html page.

When I hover, the small grey box, tooltips show like this which is wrong.
But if i remove margin-left: auto; and margin-right:auto; from wrapper class. it works. Here is the actual look that tooltip supposed to be show.
I think it's somewhere clashed. But i don't know how to fix it. Is there anyway to center the div not using margin-left:auto; and margin-right:auto; ? I tried with margin:0px auto; and text-align:center also. But it's still occurred same problem with tooltips.
I need the site to be at center and tooltips to be working correctly under hover content also. Please kindly help me. Thank you.
