Hi, I am using FF 7 for our application and the title attribute used in any of the input tag does not show the tooltip whereas the same code works in IE. I found that the event manager's mousemove method has a stopPropagation call in the end and if I remove that line, tooltip is shown. But the event objects on which the tooltip should be shown does not have a mouseover event associated. I checked it by inspecting the html. I don't understand how stopping the propagation of events of a mouse move are not showing tooltips. If I let the events to propagate then tooltips are working but some other features of my application are breaking. Can you please provide any help regarding this?

I found this link which states the same thing -- http://s260.codeinspot.com/q/152867

A good place to ask advice about web development is at the mozillaZine Web Development/Standards Evangelism forum.
The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.
You need to register at the mozillaZine forum site in order to post at that forum.
