Tooltips are small pop-up boxes that display information when a user hovers over an element. They are useful for providing additional context or explanations without cluttering the UI.

Basic Tooltip Example:

A simple tooltip can be created using CSS by changing the visibility of a tooltip text on hover.

Positioning Tooltips:

Tooltips can be positioned above, below, left, or right of the element using CSS properties like top, bottom, left, and right.

Styling Tooltips:

You can style tooltips with background colors, borders, and text colors to match your website's theme.

Advanced Tooltip Features:

Advanced tooltips can include animations, delays, and interactive content.


.tooltip {
  position: relative;
  display: inline-block;
  cursor: pointer;
}

.tooltip .tooltiptext {
  visibility: hidden;
  width: 120px;
  background-color: black;
  color: #fff;
  text-align: center;
  border-radius: 5px;
  padding: 5px 0;
  position: absolute;
  z-index: 1;
  bottom: 125%; /* Position the tooltip above the text */
  left: 50%;
  margin-left: -60px;
  opacity: 0;
  transition: opacity 0.3s;
}

.tooltip:hover .tooltiptext {
  visibility: visible;
  opacity: 1;
}

Example Explanation:

The above CSS example demonstrates how to create a basic tooltip. The tooltip text becomes visible when the user hovers over the element with the class tooltip.

Customization Options:

You can customize the tooltip's appearance by adjusting its size, color, and positioning.

Common Use Cases:

Tooltips are often used for form field explanations, button descriptions, and navigation instructions.

Best Practices:

Ensure tooltips are accessible by providing keyboard navigation support and using ARIA attributes.

Console Output:

No console output for CSS tooltip styling.
