I am working on some charts that will almost always be viewed in IE8.
When working with IE8, the tooltip does not extend far enough for the
text to be contained. If I view the same graph in Chrome, it works
just fine.

I attempted to change the tooltipWidth and tooltipHeight to no avail.
Below is what I tried and my loads:

myChart.draw(myData, {width: 400, height: 250,tooltipWidth: 100,
tooltipHeight:100, title:'My Title',titleTextStyle:{color: 'black',
fontName: 'Arial', fontSize: 15}});

<script src="https://www.google.com/jsapi" type="text/javascript"></
script><script type="text/javascript">
google.load("visualization", "1", {packages:["corechart"]});


Am I doing something wrong with the tooltip options? Am I using the
correct script library? Any help appreciated.

AFAIK, there are no options to control tooltip height and width.  The tooltip text overflow in IE8 is a known issue (it has something to do with using VML instead of SVG to draw the charts), and last I heard there wasn't much hope for a fix for the problem.
