There's no way to disable the default browser behaviour, which is to show the title attribute as a "tooltip" in the browser itself. You'll need to resort to some javascript, it could even be as simple as setting the title to blank on hover, and replacing it on mouse out....
The title attribute specifies extra information about an element. The information is most often shown as a tooltip text when the mouse moves over the element. The title attribute can be used on any HTML element (it will validate on any HTML element.
HTML: Use a container element (like <div>) and add the "tooltip" class to it. When the user mouse over this <div>, it will show the tooltip text. The tooltip text is placed inside an inline element (like <span>) with class="tooltiptext" .
No, there's no way. The title attribute is implemented in a browser dependent fashion. For example I remember differences between IE and FF when using \r\n inside it.
Mozilla's docs explain the limits and functionality well.
If you want customization you may take a look at third party plugins such as qTip2 which mimic it using divs and stuff and provide you full control.
You could use jqueryUI as suggested. An example of controlling the duration on the show property:
$( ".selector" ).tooltip({ show: { effect: "blind", duration: 800 } });
Jquery UI tooltip is extremely simple and customizable: Just download or include jquery UI in your page.
If you want all the tooltips of your page to show immediately at hover, just use this:
$(document).tooltip({show: null});
Note that this applies to all elements that have a 'title' attribute. You can modify the selector to affect only a class, and set custom speed or effect:
$('.yourClass').tooltip({show: {effect:"none", delay:0}});
It isn't possible to change how fast default browser's tooltip appear, but you can use one of the tooltip plugins (here is few: http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/css/stylish-jquery-tooltip-plugins-webdesign/ ) where you can customise lot's of things, including delay.
