In addition to the META tag in the HTML, are you setting the HTTP content-type header? I can't speak for the Chinese OS, but I've found that IE has issues with FORM fields, IMG ALT tags, etc. if you don't set the content-type header. The META tag works for basic text on the screen, but it doesn't seem to affect "other stuff".

On Japanese Win98/IE, tooltip displays fine. Does anybody know if this is something I'm doing wrong or is it a bug/issue with Chinese IE/OS?
