Tooltip not showing when hovering

Question

A simple piece of code. I notice that when I hover over a '*', the tooltip doesn't show.

Are Tooltips working in Internet Explorer 10?

Code:

<p>Username:<asp:TextBox ID="UsernameTextBox" runat="server"></asp:TextBox></p>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="UsernameRequiredFieldValidator" runat="server"
     ErrorMessage="Your Username is Required" ControlToValidate="UsernameTextBox" 
     Text="*">
</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="UsernameRegularExpressionValidator" runat="server" 
     ErrorMessage="Please only use letters and numbers with no spaces." 
     ControlToValidate="UsernameTextBox" Text="*" 
     ToolTip="Please only use letters and numbers with no spaces." 
     ValidationExpression="\w{6,14}">
 </asp:RegularExpressionValidator>

Regards,

Typically a number of validation messages are displayed in a ValidationSummary. I believe a * character tells the validator to expect a summary control. — Liath, Dec 16 '13 at 10:56
Is this an issue with IE10 or it doesn't show the tooltip in any browser? — Konstantin Dinev, Dec 16 '13 at 10:57
Try right clicking on page, and then move the mouse again on * also try to use double star ** as it might be the case that the mouse pointer is not properly placed at single * — Usman Waheed, Dec 16 '13 at 11:47

I have worked with your code .It's working fine for both IE10 and chrome browser. May be you messed up with RegularExpressionValidator Error message and RequiredFieldValidator Error message
