Question: I was contacted by my client saying that users complaint saying that some fields now show a tooltip with a message "Please Fill out This Field". I couldn't believe what I heard... but the client is right - using latest Chrome version some fields show a browser tooltip with this message even side by side with my validators!

What's the problem? What am I missing?

Thanks.

EDIT:

The HTML generated by my user control is as follows:

```
<input name="tbMontante" type="text" maxlength="8" size="10" tbMontante" class="Montantetextfield" 
    FieldName="Montante" 
    Required="True" 
    AllowDecimalValues="True" 
/>

```

EDIT:

My doctype is as follows:

```
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

```

Should my browser use HTML 5 to parse it?

You can disable the validation in the form.
In Chrome (v.56 is what I'm using but I AFAIK this applies generally) you can set title=" " (a single space) and the automatic title text will be overridden and nothing displayed. (If you try to make it just an empty string, though, it will treat it as if it isn't set and add that automatic tooltip text you've been getting).

I haven't tested this in other browsers, because I found it whilst making a Google Chrome Extension. I'm sure once I port things to other browsers, though, I'll see if it works in them (if even necessary), too.
