Default Odd issue with Outlook-hosted webpage tooltips.

Hey all,

I've noticed an odd issue with one of our webpages. When viewed in
Outlook, the tooltips for images do not work properly (I've tried using
both the 'alt' tag and the 'title' tag for the tooltip). I thought it
might be an IE security or configuration setting, but tooltips function
properly in IE. However, when I browse to the webpage in Outlook, the
tooltip no longer functions. This is true with ANY webpage, apparently
- not just the one we've created.

Has anyone seen this before, and/or know any way to remedy it?

Thanks in advance!

outlook uses only a portion of IE to display pages and not all features in
IE will work in Outlook. in some versions, the only tooltips are the
underlying urls.

Interesting. Thanks, Diane.

I wonder, though,what would cause this specifically. In some Outlook
clients, the tooltips on these pages show up fine. In others, they
don't. These are the same versions of Outlook and the same versions of
IE.

Yup, Windows XP professional on both. There may be minor differences
in versions of software, but all the major ones are the same, making me
think there's a setting somewhere I'm missing...
