Fancy tooltips with an “arrow” pointer are commonly found in desktop applications. Well, now you can add a similarly looking tooltip to your webpage. Works in IE4+, NS6+, Firefox 3+, Safari, and Opera 7+. Note that the pointer image disappears if the tooltip is too close to the edges of the browser window.
Installation:
Step 1: Insert the following stylesheet into the <head> section of your page:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 | <style type="text/css"> #baotrang { margin: 0 auto; width: 700px; padding-top: 250px; } #bienthuy{ position: absolute; left: -300px; width: 150px; border: 1px solid black; padding: 2px; background-color: lightyellow; visibility: hidden; z-index: 100; /*Remove below line to remove shadow. Below line should always appear last within this CSS*/ filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(color=gray,direction=135); } #huyhoa{ position:absolute; left: -300px; z-index: 101; visibility: hidden; } </style> |
Step 2: Insert the below code into the <body> section of your page, outside any other tags, especially relatively or absolutely positioned elements:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 | <script type="text/javascript"> /* * Shared by BienThuy.Com * www.BienThuy.Com * wWw.HuyHoa.Com * admin@huyhoa.com * Yahoo: huyhoa * Skype: admin.vtt * Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/bienthuywebsite * Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/bienthuywebsite * @ 2013.

Step 3: The script uses a pointer image. Download the below:
(right click image, and select “Save As”).
Note that you can use your own custom image in place of the above if you wish.
Step 4: Finally, add the following inside any link or element that will contain a tooltip:
1 2 | onMouseover="ddrivetip('JavaScriptKit.com JavaScript tutorials', 300)"; onMouseout="hideddrivetip()" |
Example: Link: A Href Tag
1 2 3 4 | <a href="https://www.bienthuy.com" onMouseover="ddrivetip('Visit Bien Thuy Website, wWw.BienThuy.Com for more tips and tools')"; onMouseout="hideddrivetip()">Biên Thùy</a> || <a href="http://www.tinhcaviet.com" onMouseover="ddrivetip('Visit Tinh Ca Viet for Music and Funny Pictures')"; onMouseout="hideddrivetip()">Tình Ca Việt</a> || <a href="http://www.huyhoa.com" onMouseover="ddrivetip('Visit Huy Hoa Website')"; onMouseout="hideddrivetip()">Huy Hòa</a> |
In DIV tag:
1 2 | <div onMouseover="ddrivetip('Bien Thuy\'s Site', 250)"; onMouseout="hideddrivetip()">This is a DIV. This is a DIV.</div> |
