Nicer CSS tooltips

January 22nd, 2004 | CSS: Styling

Mark Newhouse’s CSS Help was one of the first CSSCascading Style Sheets tricks I learned. Cheah Chu Yeow takes the idea up a level:

The smart part is when printing: the tooltips are “inlined” and bracketed appropriately so that they show up in the normal flow of the document when printing.

To get it to work in Internet Explorer you need to get the file csshover.htc and put it somewhere on your site (you can find the file by searching on Google).

Then you have to add the markup to the head of every page you want to have the fancy tooltips. I decided it was too much overhead to bother with.
