First let me say, simplemenu rules! My only gripe is having to dodge the tooltips created from the title attributes on hover (most browsers), see screenshot. They make it very hard to navigate the menus because you can't slow down for even a second. It would be great it there was a way to optionally disable these, because, they really aren't needed for most of us.

Yes please, this is a huge usability issue...the menus are awesome, but not something I want to turn loose on end users if they have to dodge the "tooltips." If it's possible to turn them off altogether, that would be ideal...

I am upping this to a critical bug since it makes the module almost unusable for many implementing it in a "non-coder" environment. Great module by the way.

Any news on this - I just got simplemenu in (great stuff), two issues 1 is the tooltips the other is that with two layers of menu it goes sideways and down (instead of nesting) which causes level 1 menus to appear just as you're selecting from a level 2 menu)

Anyhow, a BAD workaround for tooltips is to blank out all descriptions one by one in administration...

Here's a patch that fixes this problem.

This patch basically just adds: .removeAttr('title') after the focus() declaration. The rest of the patch is just code cleanup so that I could understand what was going on enough to add that line. ;-)

Works for me! If it works for you, please mark this patch "ready to be committed".

Thanks,
-Jeff
