Let me tell you how i came across this word “Tooltip”, I was working on my first ever project, “What to Wear Where”, and I had to hardcode the PDS; The website is all about women’s fashion & clothing, and was having a list of thumbnails giving out information of clothings & accessories; My boss told me he wanted the website to look something to look like I Stock Photo; (Dont we all get inspired by something!!)
Thus began my quest, luckily, one of my collegues had pity on me & whispered TOOLTIP. [:D] As days passed by, I thanked all the web developers who had put up their tooltip scripts on net for free!!
Here is the list of my favourite Tooltips & Iam very sure they will come handy a LOT OF TIMES!! I know they are just 11 of them, but you wouldnt need to look any further with these in your kitty. So indulge.. (psssst.. do let me know if any link is broken.. ill do the needful asap!) Cheers!! :D
