Opentip

The opentip-class is a free opensource Java-Script tooltip class based on the prototype framework.

It supports:

• Stems (little pointers)
• Automatic content download with AJAX
• Different styles
• Automatic repositioning of the tooltip if it's not in the viewport of the browser anymore
• All kind of triggers (The tooltip can be triggered by mouse over, click, form submit, … everything you can think of really)

Usage

<div onmouseover="javascript:Tips.add(this, event, 'Content', { options });"></div>

Or the preferred external method:

$('elementId').addTip('Content', { options });
