Override tooltip functionality in master page in contentpage

I have a table with columns in below mentioned structure

Sl.no name hierarchy 1 Animal null 2 cat animal 3 tiger animal/cat

The requirement is when we show name in a list box or dropdownlist ,when we hover over the name say tiger its hirerchy ie animal/cat should be displayed as a tooltip which is getting displayed using title attribute.

the problem is the master page has a default js code on document ready to display tooltip based on text whenever hovered over ie on hovering over "tiger" we get tooltip as "tiger".

so when this master page is linked to the content page that has the dropdown ,only the default tooltip gets displayed and teh hierarchy is not getting displayed.

Could you please provide a solution on how to override the master page code in conetnt page ?

In master page, how the dropdown is identified? if it is identified by it's "type", in this case i guess you can't. If possible, share the master page JS code.

I am not quite the expert on the subject, but let us try couple of things.
1. Have youalready tried generating explicit title attribute wherever you require it from the codeitself? Just to see if the default behaviour is overridden by an explicit title attribute declaration.
2. The master page is just registering an event with elements. I almost certain that on your page you could write a piece of javascript which will deregister these events.
