Is there a way to disable Tool Tips using javascript? I want alt text - I don't want it displayed

Tooltips are not related to alt text:
1. the alt text should be displayed, if an image can not be loaded.
2. the tooltip text is set using the title attribute.
This works well in all known browsers, but not in MSIE. MSIE is
displaying the alt text as tooltip. It's a bug.
Here the workaround:
<img src="image.gif" alt="alt text" title=""> 
assign the empty string as value to the title attribute.
