Can I suppress tooltips on a specific internet site?

I'm a subscriber at www.rottentomatoes.com forums:

Lately, any posts with keywords have those keywords shown with double underscores and if you pass your mouse cursor over one of those words a tooltip-like popup appears advertising something having to do with the keyword. For instance, the word "movie." I find those quit annoying. Other than bogarting my mouse, I'm wondering if there's a solution, something I can do to suppress activation of those little popups. I already have popup suppression in effect by virtue of Google Toolbar. Thanks for any ideas.

BTW, I'm using IE 6.xyz

I can't remember what that is called, but there are ways around it. The articles on the main page of AnandTech used to use that kind of advertising and people posted ways to disable it.

Hmm. I went through the Advanced internet options in IE and didn't see anything. Maybe a different browser? I'm hoping I can do it in IE so I can avoid the complexity of changing browsers. I have enough things on my plate. Thanks for the reply.

Greasemonkey will do it, Firefox only though, feel like switching browsers?

I'll think on it. Thanks.

If you have any sort of adblocking capability, filter anything with the word "intellitxt" in it. There's a good chance you could figure out where the nasty scripts are coming from and put the domains in your hosts file as a quick fix. Should be something.intellitxt.com, I think.

Sorry, I wasn't talking about diabling tooltips for the page. I was talking about disabling the code embedded in the page that picks out the keywords for highlighting.

Kamper has the right name for it, Intellitext. You can disable intellitext without disabling tooltips. Intellitext isn't part of the browser so you can't disable it there. It's part of the page, so you'll have to filter it out.
