The Title= attribute in HTML is presented by most browsers as a tooltip.
Mozilla under OSX does fine with this, but Safari seems to ignore it. Am I
missing a preference setting or something?

I did have to turn on the status bar, but that only shows the linked url (if
there is one). It doesn't show the 'title=' attribute of my tables. Is
Safari one of those browsers that doesn't display the 'title=' attribute for
some tags (like the <tr> tag)?
