Redundant tool tips (tipsy and native) appear in IE when live:true about tipsy

Yep, your explanation is correct. Open to any workarounds.

I've hated the tooltip redundancy problem between ie and tipsy.. but I think I figured out a basic work around.

IF you are linking to an image which uses the tipsy tooltip, it seems you can correct this problem by simply placing the tipsy attributes to the "img" tags.. like "id" and "title". Then, in the anchor tags for the link just place an attribute for "title" but make it have no value (example: title="").

I tried to put an example of code in here but I couldn't figure out how - Sorry, I'm not a forum guy

With this work around IE seems to ignore the title attribute in the image tag.

I screwed around all night trying to figure this one out.. when I finally came up with a workaround I actually signed up for this forum just to post that answer. Haha...

Anyway, hope this helped.

I've found a simple solution to the IE redundancy issue:

In the jquery.tooltip.js file I changed the following:

$(this).attr('original-title', $(this).attr('title') || '').removeAttr('title');

to

$(this).attr('original-title', $(this).attr('title') || '').removeAttr('title').attr("title", "");

The .attr("title" , "") prevents the tooltip from appearing in IE when first hovering over the element.

I finally got around to trying this out. Thank you sarachandlee ... works like a charm!
