Question

I display a bubble help for some short span elements. The bubbles are centered below that span and look great as long as the span isn\'t broken over two lines.

Looks goo

With or without a line break you can just calculate using .css() in jQuery where exactly on the screen is that span located and then position the tooltip accordingly. Or you can use a jQuery plugin to do all this for you.
