Twenty Twelve Calender Widget <a title=“”>post titles</a> creating disturbance

Question

In my modified Twenty Twelve theme, when I'm hovering onto the calender widget's date, there is a acronym-like balloon showing that date's post titles. Thing really is an anchor title:

<td>
   <a href="http://www.example.com/2013/01/23/" title="post title 1<br/>post title 2<br/>">23</a>
</td>

So when I'm hovering onto date 23, it's echoing like an acronym:

23
---------------
 post title 1
 post title 2
---------------

Problem is: My client doesn't want this.

If I can modify the default calendar widget, then I can delete the anchor title, and it will solve the problem. But I can't edit the default calendar widget.

Otherwise, I can make CSS for the specific title like this one. I did this like:

a[title]:hover:after {
  content: attr(title);
  display: none;
}

and/or

a[title]:hover:after {
      content: attr(title);
      visibility: hidden;
    }

But failed. So, alternatively, the second question can be:

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Third choice: I suggest using jQuery to handle this. <script>$('a[title]').attr('title', '');</script> will remove all anchor titles on the page. You could put that in the page template or build a widget that echos it.
