There are plenty of Tooltip plugins for jQuery however what I found was that Cody Lindley's jTip (creator of Thickbox as well) was very small, lightweight and unobtrusive.
The jTip code was initially set up to implement AJAX and load a URL into the tooltip from a link. What we have here is jTip Again, a modification of Cody Lindley's code so that can use it in forms on any input field (View Demo Below).Description: Add a tooltip to any HTML form's input element.
Use:
- Download current release of jQuery (Required)
- Include both the tooltip.css, jQuery package and jtip.js documents into the page where you wish to use a tooltip
- in the input element you wish to include a tooltip set class to jTip and you must use an ID attribute.
- Set ALT attribute of input element to desired tooltip text(may also help in SEO)
<input type="text" alt="Input something into this box" class="jTip" name="some_name" id="input_id" />

Let me know if you find any errors using or implementing the plugin into your site. However I can only help with features and things I have modified and not the jTip code itself.
