[jQuery] Disabling Tooltips + Tooltip Text

[DaveG]

1]
I'd like to make a request to have a flag to turn off all tool-tips 
(http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-tooltip/). The 
easiest way to do this might be to retain existing object events, and 
simply put a flag in the code to not process tip events.

Alternately is there a simple way to identify all tip events and remove 
them?

2]
Is there a way to send in the tool-tip text as a parameter rather than 
relying on the Title attribute? The reason I'd like to do this is to 
source all tip text in a central location.
