How Do You Disable The Screen Tips on A Browser Form?

I was wondering if there is a way to disable the screen tips that occur when
you hover over a field/control that is marked as required on a form being
displayed on the browser.

Example: If you open a form to fill out on the web, and move your cursor
over the control, it will bring up a default message "Cannot be blank".

I would like to disable this hover over screen tip as it is a distraction to
users as they are completing the form.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks to the help of a fellow InfoPather, we have come up with a work
around...

Here is the posting he sent me...

There's no way, at least what I've seen, to turn off the tooltip popups for
controls which are "required", but there is a way to turn them off for Data
Validation cases:



To do so, you'll need to edit the manifest.xsf file with a text editor.
You'll see something like the following:

<xsf:errorCondition match="/my:Fields" expressionContext="my:Item"
expression=". = """>
<xsf:errorMessage type="modeless" shortMessage="Cannot be
blank"></xsf:errorMessage>
</xsf:errorCondition>



Change the shortMessage to "" (you need to leave the attribute in, though)
and the error message won't appear. I turned off "required" for all my
components and created custom Data Validation rules instead. Once I removed
the shortMessage, everything worked fine.



Tip: Change the message within InfoPath to something like $$$$$, then do a
find/replace to replace $$$$$ with nothing.



Hope this helps
