What are your favorite JavaScript libraries/scripts for creating tooltips on the web?

Question

I've used jTip (jQuery plugin) and overLIB in the past. Are there any others I should be looking into...any accepted "best" one?

Answer 1

see this post Recommendations for jQuery tooltips

Answer 2

Remember, sometimes, a simple <acronym title="long description">text</acronym> is a good way to deal with that issue.

(Good) Browsers are displaying acronyms underlined and show the title attribute in a tooltip on mouse over.

You'll need some small CSS extra-rules to make it work on IE (at least on IE 6).

However, according to that tag name and W3, <acronym> should only be used for acronyms (obviously!).

Note : You've also have the <abbr> tag with same behavior.
