From the top of my head:
- use some tooltip plugin? Should suffice i think.
- use jquery ui dialog? If the tooltips do not offer enough.

Oh, right. I've already seen the plugin. I wanted to do it on my own. jQuery was easier to understand once I got it. I'm just missing some bascis, syntax etc. I couldn't find out at jqapi. Concatting css with jquery and .hover() made me ask. I have no idea where to look. Ty for the links anyway.

Your problem happened because of this:
a.tooltip span {
margin-left:8px;
}
With this you were creating an 'empty' area between the link and the span, so when you moused over this 'empty' area, the hover was not in effect anymore, that's why the span disappeared.
If you remove it, it works.

Oh, I see it. Thank you. If there was a chance to mark two answers as answered, yours would be the second one. Thanks.

I understand that you want to do it on your own, but I would like to suggest you this plugin http://craigsworks.com/projects/qtip/

It sounds to me that you are more after a flyout navigation solution rather then a tooltip.
This can be done mostly with HTML and CSS, javascript is only need to mimc :hover behaviour on something other then a <a>.
See here for an example http://www.positioniseverything.net/css-flyout.html
