A tooltip, aka infotip or hint, is a small box of text
that appears when a user hovers the mouse pointer over an item, such as a
particular word or phrase, on a webpage. If you wish to display a
tooltip when a user hovers the mouse pointer over text on a webpage,
there are a number of ways you can do so. The simplest way to do so
is to specify a title attribute, which is an
HTML global attribute with the
span tag. E.g.:
<span title="This is the tooltip text to be displayed when the mouse is hovered over the spanned text.">example text</span>
This is an example using the above technique with example text.
