In the sidebar no tooltips are shown for HTML elements with "title" attribute. Example: <P title="this is a title">test</P>
Why would one want to use "title" in combination with the P tag?
Which HTML elements you do or do not use the `title' attribute for is really beside the point ... The point is that anything you can do with elements in an ordinary Web page, you should be able to do with the same elements in a Web-like sidebar panel. And that includes tooltips. CCing Blake, who's been doing a lot of this already, and Robert, who did the `title' tooltips in the first place.
Should be able to get tooltips in the sidebar

Adding Fabricio and Roger, this affects Major Sidebar Tab producers. Sidebar tabs like Fedex and others in the world are using tooltips. Tooltips in the Sidebar tab is amazing because the visual area is small.
could you please provide a test case?

The fedex tab is at http://www.fedex.com/us/tracking/?template_type=net6tab It doesn't seem they use a tooltip there though. Another tab to check tooltips is the note-it tab, it has an image with a tooltip on the right top side of the tab: http://livesidebar.com/lsbtabs.html
The FedEx tab is available in the Netbusiness category of the Customize Sidebar dialogue. The actual URL is http://www.fedex.com/us/tracking/?template_type=net6tab.
Grrr... beaten to it!

cc karnaze. Chris: we asked for a look, not a bounce. ;-) This is web content, which isn't our area. Who should get this?
We just have to use FillInHTMLTooltip() in the sidebar, I think.
I would test my patch but attempts at getting my sidebar to show up in my debug build are failing. Samir, any idea?

This also affects sidebars at http://twiki.org/ - Internet Explorer's sidebar does handle tooltips, so unfortunately at the moment the IE version of the TWiki sidebar is better. See http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/MozillaSidebar#Get_sidebars_now_ to test a TWiki sidebar, and view source of http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/WebSidebar?skin=plain to see the title attributes. The IE5 sidebar is at http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/InternetExplorerSidebar if you're interested. A possibly related issue is that the visited links don't change colour in the sidebar, though they do work when the sidebar page is viewed in the main window.
Blake, I thought removing the class="iframe-panel" fixed this. I don't see the titletips on a current mozilla trunk build in either skin (Linux; haven't tried Win32). Any ideas?
Just switching to <browser> won't fix this because the tooltip behavior isn't yet encapsulated into <browser>. It should be, later on (it's not a hard fix at all).
This is also quite important for the sidebar I created for my counter service (See http://textcounter.org/admin/sidebar.php?id=8 for a demo), I would really appreciate a fix.
*** Bug 180421 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Hi, I filed bug #100421, which was a duplicate of this one but had the wrong URL for the testcase. I have upgraded to the latest win32 talkback release (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910) and still sidebar tooltips are not working. See bug #100421 but use the following url instead of the one noted: http://www.codemain.com/tabs/freshmeat_tab_codemain.php
My bad. The strikeout made the bug ID look like 100421, but it is #180421.

The original patch didn't work in the first place, the sidebar wouldn't have hidden properly.

While testing the http://www.codemain.com/tabs/freshmeat_tab_codemain.php I've found out that the tooltips are not shown even in the browser. I am using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

Can someone please confirm #39 - no tooltips for title tags in regular page with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130?
Can the patch be applied by endusers? I couldn't find the file "sidebarOverlay.xul" on my hard drive.
related to bug 90642 ? "Tooltip with explanation is not shown for <abbr> in attachment"
The file sidebarOverlay.xul is stored in comm.jar (a zip archive)
