Creating a bubble tooltip overlaps the edges of the window

Is it possible for the posted content to overlap the edge of the window of the document that contains it? For instance. if I have a popup inside a popup, can the latter overlap the borders of the window of the first?

I noticed that very long tool-tip bubbles created using the HTML TITLE attribute overlap, but never saw a CSS or JavaScript bubble that does this.

eg. this is a pure CSS bubble demo:

If I resize the window so that it is very small, and then hover over the second link, I get a long tool that is cropped with the window, and not what I want.

In principle, this is not possible. The tooltip created by the attribute titleis created as elements of the operating system and is located outside the browser window.

On the other hand, everything you create with Javascript will be part of the web page and therefore limited to the outside of the browser window.

There is nothing you can do about it. Unfortunately.

(I note that the @easwee comment links refer to a question that is answered that provides a solution, however this solution is only for IE and will work in any other browser)
