Fix tooltip bug, when the user is moving their mouse and triggers a new mouseover event, we need to clear the mousemove event that was checking if they were heading to the tooltip. By clearing this event we prevent the mousemoveTimerHelper function from running, which in this case is mistakenly re-triggering a mouseover event but on the wrong event coordinates, leading to tooltips that are a ways away from where they are supposed to be, refs Max email

 ///////////////////////////////
 var sortTable = {
 // The sortTable object handles sorting HTML tables on columns.
 // Just add the 'sortable' class to your table and in ready() call 
 //                                                       sortTable.initialize($('table.sortable')).
 //
 // Details you don't need to know until you want to do something fancy.
 // A sortable table requires:
 // TABLE.sortable: TABLE class='sortable' containing a THEAD header and sortable TBODY filled
 //                 with the rows to sort.
 //   THEAD.sortable: (NOTE: created if not found) THEAD can contain multiple rows must contain:
 //     TR.sortable: exactly 1 header TH (tr) class='sortable' which will declare the sort columns:
 //     TH.sortable: 1 or more TH (column headers) with class='sortable sort1 [sortRev]'
 //                  (or sort2, sort3) declaring sort order and whether reversed.  e.g.:
 //                  <TH id='factor' class='sortable sortRev sort3' nowrap>...</TH>
 //                  (this means that factor is currently the third sort column and reverse sorted)
 //            NOTE: If no TH.sortable is found, then every th in the TR.sortable will be converted
 //                  for you and will be in sort1,2,3 order.
 //       ONCLICK: Each TH.sortable must call sortTable.sortOnButtonPress(this) directly
 //                or indirectly in the onclick event e.g.:
 //                <TH id='factor' class='sortable sortRev sort3' nowrap title='Sort on this column' 
 //                                           onclick="return sortTable.sortOnButtonPress(this);">
 //          NOTE: onclick function will automatically be added if not found.
 //       SUP: Each TH.sortable *may* contain a <sup> which will be filled with an
 //                          up or down arrow and the column's sort order: e.g. <sup>&darr;2</sup>
 //            NOTE: The sup can be added via the addSuperscript option in sortTable.initialize().
 //   TBODY.sortable: (NOTE: created if not found) The TBODY class='sortable' contains the
 //                   table rows that get sorted:
 //                   TBODY->TR & ->TD: Each row contains a TD for each sortable column.
 //                   The innerHTML (entire contents) of the cell will be used for sorting.
 //     TRICK: You can use the 'abbr' field to subtly alter the sortable contents.
 //            Otherwise sorts on td contents ($(td).text()).  Use the abbr field to make
 //            case-insensitive sorts or force exceptions to alpha-text order
 //            (such as. ZCTRL vs Control forcing controls to bottom)  e.g.:
 //                <TD id='wgEncodeBroadHist...' nowrap abbr='ZCTRL' align='left'>Control</TD>
 //            This is also the method to ensure a numeric sort e.g.:
 //                <td align="right" abbr="000003416800354">3.2 GB</td>
 //            IMPORTANT: You must add abbr='use' to the TH.sortable definitions.
 // Finally if you want the tableSort to alternate the table row colors (using #FFFEE8 and #FFF9D2)
 // then TBODY.sortable should also have class 'altColors'
 // NOTE: This class can be added by using the altColors option to sortTable.initialize().
 //
 // PRESERVING TO CART: To send the sort column on a form 'submit', the header tr (TR.sortable)
 //   needs a named hidden input of class='sortOrder' as:
 //      <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME='wgEncodeBroadHistone.sortOrder'
 //                                              class='sortOrder' VALUE="factor=- cell=+ view=+">
 //   AND each sortable column header (TH.sortable) must have id='{name}' which is the name of
 //   the sortable field (e.g. 'factor', 'shortLabel').  The value preserves the column sort order
 //   and direction based upon the id={name} of each sort column.  In the example, while 'cell' may
 //   be the first column, the table is currently reverse ordered by 'factor', then by cell and view.
 // And to send the sorted row orders on form 'submit', each TBODY->TR will need a named hidden
 //   input field of class='trPos'.  e.g.:
 //      <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME='wgEncodeHaibTfbsA549ControlPcr2xDexaRawRep1.priority'
 //                                                                        class='trPos' VALUE="2">
 //   A reason to preserve the order in the cart is if the order will affect other cgis.
 //   For instance: sort subtracks and see that order in the hgTracks image.
 
     // Sorting a table by columns relies upon the columns obj, whose C equivalent would look like:
     //struct column
     //    {
     //    char *  tags[];     // a list of field names in sort order (e.g. 'cell', 'shortLabel')
     //    boolean reverse[];  // the sort direction for each sort field
     //    int     cellIxs[];  // The indexes of the columns in the table to be sorted
     //    boolean useAbbr[];  // Compare on Abbr or on text()?
