Disabling browser tooltips on links and s

As far as I know it is not possible to actually suppress showing the title tag.

There are some workarounds however.

Assuming you mean you want to preserve the title property on your links and elements, you could use Javascript to remove the title property at onmouseover() and set it again at onmouseout().

// Suppress tooltip display for links that have the classname 'suppress'
var links = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
    if (links[i].className == 'suppress') {
        links[i]._title = links[i].title;
        links[i].onmouseover = function() { 
            this.title="";
        }
        links[i].onmouseout = function() { 
            this.title = this._title;
        }
    }
}
