Tooltip display difficulties

I'm trying to resolve a problem that I encountered with the creation of a tooltip interface in a website I'm developing. I constructed the tooltips with help of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The script is pretty simple as you can see in the fiddle underneath, and is based on a toggle behaviour, on witch a trigger element open a pop-up tooltip.
jsFiddle
Now! My problem is that i can't figure out how to place the trigger on the top of everything so they are not hidden by the pop-ups! Let me explain. Since the pop-up, even when they are off, sometimes cover the trigger elemets they (the triggers) just result not clickable. is like they are hidden behind invisible pop-ups. Here is a link of how is right now online.

I hope you can see the problem! Does anyone know how to resolve this?

You've changed the .pop-ups to "block" as soon as it initializes. $("div.pop-up").css({'display':'block','opacity':'0'})
If you want to show/hide, I would recommend using .fadeIn/.fadeOut: http://api.jquery.com/fadein/

How do I replicate the bootstrap mobile navbar toggle (without using bootstrap)?

I'm talking about the button that appears below certain screen widths which hides/unhides the menu when clicked (screenshot below). I'm trying to replicate its behavior on my website without resorting to using bootstrap (because I like to work without frameworks).
I've looked at the source code, but can't figure out exactly how it works, and what the most efficient way is to replicate the behaviour. From what I can tell it works with javascript by applying a hide/unhide class to the menu, activated by the button.
Would it be possible to replicate this with the css checkbox hack? Or is using javascript better?

This is fairly simple:
Add the hamburger menu icon
Have a CSS class that makes the nav area active
Make JS add/remove that class from the nav area
Use CSS transitions to take care of the animation (they're more likely to be accelerated on a mobile device)
I like the implementation on http://purecss.io.

edit:
I misread question the first time.
I think you'd have a better time using javascript.
If you are using jquery you could use the toggle method.
$("#hide-show-button").click(function(){
$(".nav").toggle();
});

Jquery drop down menu strange behavior

My Problem (Fiddle)
My problem is that on my jquery animated dropdown menu, when you hover over the "Other" link, the sub menu does not appear. When using firefox to 'Inspect Element', I find height is animated, and the width appears to be alright, yet all I see is the left border.
I noticed that if I have that particular section display as a block, when you animate the first menu it is shown, but upon entering the unordered list, it disappears (ex). I imagine it is somehow related to this, but I can not figure out what is causing this.
Any incite into what I'm probably just overlooking would be great, and of course much appreciated.
Notes:
I have had this problem in Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and IE.
It's designed such that it could work with only css. The the first .each is overriding default css hover behavior.
the empty span holds the arrow image.
only relevant code is posted. However, you may view my site here
If you have any tips on making something more efficient, always welcome.

I've removed your CSS for simplicity's sake and simplified your functions by utilizing jQuery slideUp and slideDown, which essentially handle many of the css properties you were managing with your functions. From here, I think it would be fairly simple to work back in some of your CSS.
When utilizing javascript/jQuery/animation on menus, I highly suggest using timers (setTimeout) for firing mouseenters and 'leaves. This way, your menu is more forgiving when a user accidentally moves their mouse a few pixels out of the menu and it closes.

Well, in debugging the JS and CSS I found that if you remove ALL the JS you have, the drop down menu with sub menus work fine. The Other li opens up the ul below it just fine. Note, it doesn't animate without the JS though.
Here's a forked fiddle.
I tested it in latest Chrome and Firefox.

Custom Selectbox (jquery script) - Non FF div scroll problem

I need a little help...
After read and search for a while I discover a good jQuery plugin to deal with the selectbox custom style problems. I made some small modifications to make it work as I want. The plugin hide the custom select and append some div and ul tags.
In Firefox 3.6.10 it works really nice, but in Chrome (6.0.472.63), Opera (10.62) when I tried to scroll down the selectbox list (in this case the div with an overflow) it disappears.
It looks like a bug, could you check it please? Try to look around line 182:
.blur(function() {...}
I tried to make an example so I cleaned a lot of my custom CSS and make it all clear for anyone who wants to analyse it.
view example HERE and please try it on FF and Chrome/Opera
PS: I didn't pay much attention to IE... It will be another fight, but i'll keep it for later!
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks for your time!!

Yeah, it does look like a bug. I'm not sure exactly what the appear and disappear mechanics are for this control, but it looks like when I try to scroll the drop-down area, the .blur() style event is firing for the parent control, but no .focus() style event is firing for the child control.
You might try delaying the drop-down disappearance by a second for .blur() style events, then only hide the drop-down if the .scrollTop() of the drop-down hasn't changed (this gives the user a delay between when they grab that scroll bar in order to actually scroll it, and it won't hide if they do so). That's a massive work-around, but without studying the code a lot more closely it's hard to know if there's a better approach.

IE 6 select controls(Combo Box) over menu

In IE 6 select control(combo box) is displaying on top of menus. I checked some Javascript menus, mmmenu, but all are getting under select control. It's not fixable by assigning Z-Index. Is there any other solution.

This is a well-known bug with IE6 with trying to absolutely position divs on top of select controls.
There are workarounds involving iframe shims, but there is no good answer. The iframe shim answer is to place an iframe underneath whatever div you're trying to place above a select, with the iframe being the same size. Unfortunately, this is a huge pain in the ass.
I suggest using a javascript menu system which already uses iframe shims, such as YUI menus (and I assume jQuery).

Most of the major javascript libraries have easy to implement solutions to this problem. We use jQuery, and the bgiframe plugin is very easy-to-use and solves the problem.

Daniel is definitely right. This is an ugly issue.
However, there may be another solution. If you are using multi-tiered menus that pop open and closed, it is possible to write JavaScript code that literally hides the problematic SELECT elements when the popup is opened (style the element to have a visibility of hidden). Then when the menu closes you can unhide that same SELECT control.
Then you just have to write code that detects which SELECT objects get in the way of a particular menu before it opens. It's not trivial code, but it's definitely possible to write. Then I'd just wrap the entire chunk of code in a conditional that checks to see if the user is on IE as there's no need to run this on Firefox or Safari.

The problem is that SELECT are "windowed" elements in IE6, and their z-index is above all the other non-"windowed" components. If you absolutely must have something above a combox, you might want to put it inside another windowed compnent, such as an IFRAME, and set the component's z-index to be higher than that of the combobox.
I must admit, this isn't a pretty solution.
