Tooltip "stay up" time...

[Guest]

Is there a way to change how long a Windows tooltip stays up? The default in
WinXP Pro is 5 seconds, but I'd prefer to see it stay there until I move my
cursor away.

(I realize that this isn't the right NG for the following.) On a very
similar subject, if anyone knows HTML, and especially CSS, I'd like to know
how to make the tooltip stay up indefinitely -- the tooltip that is created
by the "title" and/or the "alt" attribute. I've used a few different
javascripts and accompanying .js files to accomplish this, but I'd love to
just use the "title" attribute so that my job would be quicker and more
efficient. Thanks!
