Margin property and script conflict

[Gerwant]

I’ve encountered a problem with two scripts while working on a site.

There’s a list in one of the containers :

Track 1Edit


Track 2Edit




Each element (track 1, track 2 etc.) has a link - an icon, which is hidden and made visible on mousover with the following:



 $('.album-playlist li').mouseover(function() {

$('.icons', this).removeClass('hide');

});



$('.album-playlist li').mouseout(function() {

$('.icons', this).addClass('hide');

});
The icons also have tooltips :
$(document).ready(function() {

//Tooltips

$(".tip_trigger").hover(function(){

tip = $(this).find('.tip');

tip.show(); //Show tooltip

}, function() {

tip.hide(); //Hide tooltip

}).mousemove(function(e) {

var mousex = e.pageX + 20; //Get X coodrinates

var mousey = e.pageY + 20; //Get Y coordinates

var tipWidth = tip.width(); //Find width of tooltip

var tipHeight = tip.height(); //Find height of tooltip



//Distance of element from the right edge of viewport

var tipVisX = $(window).width() - (mousex + tipWidth);

//Distance of element from the bottom of viewport

var tipVisY = $(window).height() - (mousey + tipHeight);



if ( tipVisX < 20 ) { //If tooltip exceeds the X coordinate of viewport

mousex = e.pageX - tipWidth - 20;

} if ( tipVisY < 20 ) { //If tooltip exceeds the Y coordinate of viewport

mousey = e.pageY - tipHeight - 20;

}

//Absolute position the tooltip according to mouse position

tip.css({  top: mousey, left: mousex });

});

});

Now it all worked fine...until I introduced the custom scrollbar from there :

http://plugins.jquery.com/project/jScrollPane into the same div. When I did, the tooltip appeared "corrupted" - it didn't appear anymore or it did but for a split second.

And after debugging I've managed to find the culprit :

It's the following class, used to center the layout :
.container { width:960px; margin:auto; }
The tooltip+scrollbar started to work properly after I removed the margin:auto from that class. Changing margin into anything else (e.g. 15%) causes the same problem.
Maybe it has something to do with the inheritance of margin property?

Any solutions/workarounds?
