Overlapping ToolTip and Alt Text

Attached please find a screenshot of the registration fields; it seems the yellow box is alt text? It's overlapping the tooltip (using IE7).


Would it be better to truncate the alt text or disable the tooltips? Or just leave it? :)

You are only seeing it when using IE browsers (FF does not show this).

And if you leave your mouse over the (i) one will disappear.

Not an issue with CB (IMHO) - more of an IE browser issue for Bill Gates :P

LOL nice.... I think the Windows O/S should of be open source :P (YEAH RIGHT)

Just a dumb question but is there anyway to turn it off so that just the tool tip would show?

It is an anoying accessibility compromize !

That exact alternate attribute text allows accessibility of the tooltip used to blind users...but IE chose to show it to all !

If someone has a CSS or Javascript trick to stop IE from displaying the alt attribute, please feel free to contribute knowledge in here, subscribing to this thread. :)

Not being a coder, I think I might have found an answer: MSN - disable default/automatic tooltip
