After upgrading to IE6 SP1 with windows 98se I get a text box when passing my
mouse over news stories listings. How do I turn this feature off?
Thanks
 
Hi,
This is happening at Yahoo, right? I don't think that this is related to
your IE upgrade. It's a recently added Yahoo feature.

Disabling Javascript should stop this. Go to Internet Options> Security>
Internet Zone> Custom> set Scripting> Active Scripting to Disable or Prompt.
This will cause many pages to not display properly and you'll probably
decide that disabling Javascript is more trouble than it's worth. ;-)

There may be a (free) program available to make it easier to toggle
Javascript on or off, but I couldn't find one.

There is a bookmarklet available to temporarily disable Javascript at
http://www.bookmarklets.com/ but it won't work in frames. :-(

Hope this helps,

Thanks Don
You are right. It is in Yahoo and I recently added their tool bar as well.
No wonder I could not find anything about it in IE-6. Thanks for the solution.
