Favorite tooltip (complex version)
license: mit

This is a follow on from the favorite simple tooltip graph used as an example in the book D3 Tips and Tricks.

It impliments a more complex example than the simple version and is designed to illustrate additional things you can do with the technique. It should be taken in context with the text of the book which can be downloaded for free from Leanpub.

Hi,

I want to use the complex version of the tooltip in my chart. It is working properly for single line chart. But the moment I try to use it for multi line chart, it's not working. I have three lines in my chart but the dotted points come only for one of the charts. Could you tell me how this code can work for multi line charts?
