removing tooltip in Code tags


Mark and I decided we should ask if the tool-tip that displays when
the cursor hovers over code-tagged areas can be removed. The reasons
are:
1) tip states "... insert your C/C++ code here...". Code is already
inserted, tip gives no useful information
2) it gets in the way of reading the code.

Thanks

Just to expand on what Walt said ...

My opinion would be to modify the title in the bar to something like,
HTML Code:
<div class="headingc wide smaller" title="[c] ... use these to markup your code ... [/c]">C / C++ Code:</div>

and to remove the title in the codec area entirely.
HTML Code:
<div class="codec" ><code><pre><span class="bolder cPurple">#define</span> IDC_MAIN_EDIT 101

The idea being, by time it is posted it is already in the code wrappers if you can see the tool tip.

Thank you for your feedback guys, I appreciate it.

I see your point -- although at the time, I thought it would help GUEST users to quickly understand how code examples got syntax-highlighted. As we now know, that never happened.

I will make the changes very soon.
