Actually, I was initially setting only the HTTP header and thought that missing META tag was causing it, but adding it didn't help either. The reason I'm leaning towards IE bug is that it works on JPN but not on CHT.

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?
