How would you invoke tooltips?

[trevor]

How would I use a title to invoke the tooltips built in the system?

Actually I chose to do it in pure CSS using data attributes.

@trevor Is CSS able to display (data-)attributes somehow? Or do you mean pre-parsing with JS and display the stuff on :hover

[trevor]

Yeah, just CSS, no JS necessary. As a matter of fact, I like doing it this way over JS.

For example;

We'll put data-anything in <span data-anything="Blah"></div>
We will hide the content until hovered on and use :before & :after to show the tooltip. The trick is styling it, but its pretty simple and straightforward.

@trevor Ah, haven't worked with dynamic contents in CSS yet. What I didn't know was that the content CSS-attribute accepts sth like attr(myattribute).
pretty neat for some use-cases like the tooltips

Maybe my english isn't good enough but I don't understand your original question then.
Do you want to know how we do tooltips on our web-projects?
Do you need ideas to style the :before pseudo-element in a neat way?
What do you mean with system and title? Do you mean the title-attribute and their native browser-supported tooltips?
