Hi Grant,
I followed your instructions and the samples you mentioned above to set 
a tooltip into a browser. However, my browser came out is very small 
with both horizontal and vertical scroll bars.

Here is the code I setup browser:
    Browser browser ;
    Shell shell = new Shell (item.getShell(), SWT.ON_TOP | SWT.NO_FOCUS
            | SWT.TOOL);
    FillLayout layout = new FillLayout ();
    shell.setLayout (layout);
    try
    {
        browser = new Browser( shell, SWT.NONE );
    }
    catch(SWTError err)
    {
      System.out.println(err.getMessage);
    }
    browser.setText( htmltext );

    Point size = shell.computeSize( SWT.DEFAULT, SWT.DEFAULT);
    Point pt = item.toDisplay (event.x, event.y);
    shell.setBounds (pt.x, pt.y, size.x, size.y);
    shell.setVisible (true);

If I use shell.getSize() to replace shell.computeSize( SWT.DEFAULT, 
SWT.DEFAULT), that will make the tooltip came up too big. Can you please 
give me some hint of how I can make my browser to the right size that 
can hold the tooltip?

Thanks a lot!
