I am looking for a good tooltip mouseover that follows the cursor and knows when to re-position itself. Here is what I am talking about (mouse over any image) only I am thinking about adding some transparency to the dropdowns (if it is supported by all current browsers).
Please help point me in the right direction! Thanks
Those two are text-based examples. They can be modified to use display extra markup/images without much effort.
On something like this, for the more experienced, I'd recommend just making a function from scratch. Mainly because a lot of the libs' out there are going to be geared for a single use (as seen in the previous links) and you'll end up rewriting most of it anyway. Not to mention a lot you'll find are extremelly dated.
If you're just looking to show a dialog in a less fancy method, there's several CSS options out there that will eliminate the usage of javascript totally. These options are great basic image galleries, etc...
is there a tooltip like this that uses the 'title' attribute instead of javascript for the popup text? this would make it search engine friendly. DHTML Tooltips: Pop-up Layer Onmouseover
