Probably more accurately put, IE relies on the OS to style its tooltips
(which is actually what we're talking about here), whereas Mozilla/Netscape
6.x styles them on its own -- as it does with much of its chrome. But there
is no CSS property that allows the designer to style the look of the
tooltip.
For IE 5+, there is, however, a default "ToolTip" behavior [1] for
producing a DHTML tooltip that might be of interest. It allows CSS styling
and has its own properties and events.
