For this, there's a solution by jQuery Tooltip. I mean, moving tooltips
to the jQuery would resolve these problems.

Googles YouTube is still usable with IE6 for basic functions.
I'm thinking the PMA basic functions should be usable with the (terrible
old) IE6, because on some systems the IE6 is the
default browser. All new (and sometimes complicated) functions must not
be usable with the IE6, but it would be nice
to tell those peoples to update their browser and/or system.
