The forum word editor has no tooltips - using Mozilla 1.6
Yes, I see them for IE, but not for Mozilla. I do not use IE on this machine, but I tested for IE.
Yeah, the html editor is finicky. I've never had any problems with it, so I'm not the guy to ask, but you might want to check out this forum http://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?f=224 and post your troubles there. That way the folks who have a good background with it will see your post and help

Just curious, what is present or missing in the script that makes tooltips work for one browser and not the other? Are they using MS products to produce these scripts perhaps?
BTW, thank you for your suggestion - I will visit http://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?f=224

You know, I've not got in to take a look at the code yet...but I'd bet money they're doing it with javascript. And I'm guessing the trouble your having is somehow browser based....but I don't know how.
On a slightly different note (and not at all related to your post), if you're looking to add tooltips to your own webpage, and you don't want to get too fancy about it, you can just add alt="text you want to display" to an img tag.
<a href="moodle.com"><img src="whatever.gif" alt="Click here to go to Moodle.org"> moodle.org </a>
to remover the border, add border="0" to the img tag
<a href="moodle.com"><img src="whatever.gif" alt="Click here to go to Moodle.org" border="0">moodle.org</a>
Mozilla products are standards-based. The tool tip that appears with images should only show up as text if a graphic does not load. IE 6 is broke and will show the alt tag information as a tooltip. In order to see this in Mozilla you also need to include the title attribute.
