How to install the tooltip with javascript

How to set up a tooltip with javascript When you point the mouse in the text above for a while, then you will see a display box containing descriptions that describe the contents of the text. Box that appears is called the tooltips. Then how do I create a tooltip as above? For that follow this tutorial to complete.

Sampel Tooltip

 To create a tooltip above we need the javascript code. For script code you can see in the box below.

<script type="text/javascript">
/***********************************************
* Cool DHTML tooltip script II- © Dynamic Drive DHTML code library (www.dynamicdrive.com)
* This notice MUST stay intact for legal use
* Visit Dynamic Drive at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for full source code
***********************************************/

var offsetfromcursorX=12 //Customize x offset of tooltip
var offsetfromcursorY=10 //Customize y offset of tooltip
var offsetdivfrompointerX=10 //Customize x offset of tooltip DIV relative to pointer image
var offsetdivfrompointerY=14 //Customize y offset of tooltip DIV relative to pointer image
document.write('<div id="dhtmltooltip"></div>') //write out tooltip DIV
document.write('<img id="dhtmlpointer" src="arrow2.gif">') //write out pointer image

var ie=document.all
var ns6=document.getElementById && !document.all
var enabletip=false
if (ie||ns6)
var tipobj=document.all? document.all["dhtmltooltip"] : document.getElementById? document.getElementById("dhtmltooltip") : ""
var pointerobj=document.all? document.all["dhtmlpointer"] : document.getElementById? document.getElementById("dhtmlpointer") : ""
function ietruebody(){
return (document.compatMode && document.compatMode!="BackCompat")? document.documentElement : document.body
}
function ddrivetip(thetext, thewidth, thecolor){
if (ns6||ie){
if (typeof thewidth!="undefined") tipobj.style.width=thewidth+"px"
if (typeof thecolor!="undefined" && thecolor!="") tipobj.style.backgroundColor=thecolor
tipobj.innerHTML=thetext
enabletip=true
return false
}
}
function positiontip(e){
if (enabletip){
var nondefaultpos=false
var curX=(ns6)?e.pageX : event.clientX+ietruebody().scrollLeft;
var curY=(ns6)?e.pageY : event.clientY+ietruebody().scrollTop;
//Find out how close the mouse is to the corner of the window
var winwidth=ie&&!window.opera? ietruebody().clientWidth : window.innerWidth-20
var winheight=ie&&!window.opera? ietruebody().clientHeight : window.innerHeight-20

var rightedge=ie&&!window.opera? winwidth-event.clientX-offsetfromcursorX : winwidth-e.clientX-offsetfromcursorX
var bottomedge=ie&&!window.opera? winheight-event.clientY-offsetfromcursorY : winheight-e.clientY-offsetfromcursorY

var leftedge=(offsetfromcursorX<0)? offsetfromcursorX*(-1) : -1000

//if the horizontal distance isn't enough to accomodate the width of the context menu
if (rightedge<tipobj.offsetWidth){
//move the horizontal position of the menu to the left by it's width
tipobj.style.left=curX-tipobj.offsetWidth+"px"
nondefaultpos=true
}
else if (curX<leftedge)
tipobj.style.left="5px"
else{
//position the horizontal position of the menu where the mouse is positioned
tipobj.style.left=curX+offsetfromcursorX-offsetdivfrompointerX+"px"
pointerobj.style.left=curX+offsetfromcursorX+"px"
}
//same concept with the vertical position
if (bottomedge<tipobj.offsetHeight){
tipobj.style.top=curY-tipobj.offsetHeight-offsetfromcursorY+"px"
nondefaultpos=true
}
else{
tipobj.style.top=curY+offsetfromcursorY+offsetdivfrompointerY+"px"
pointerobj.style.top=curY+offsetfromcursorY+"px"
}
tipobj.style.visibility="visible"
if (!nondefaultpos)
pointerobj.style.visibility="visible"
else
pointerobj.style.visibility="hidden"
}
}

function hideddrivetip(){
if (ns6||ie){
enabletip=false
tipobj.style.visibility="hidden"
pointerobj.style.visibility="hidden"
tipobj.style.left="-1000px"
tipobj.style.backgroundColor=''
tipobj.style.width=''
}
}
document.onmousemove=positiontip
</script>

To adjust how the tooltip it later on, so here need a style code. Required code like the following.

<style type="text/css">
#dhtmltooltip{
position: absolute;
left: -300px;
width: 150px;
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 2px;
background-color: #E1EEFD  ; font-family:"Verdana",Arial;font-size:12px;
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);
}
#dhtmlpointer{
position:absolute;
left: -300px;
z-index: 101;
visibility: hidden;
}
</style>

Code above the script and style before you put it hosted. If you use blogger, then you can use javascript like the suggestion to put on a post in blogger javascript hosting solutions. for code style can be combined with a blog style code above </ head>.

Once the code is javascript and style has been placed correctly, then the next we put tooltip code in place that we want.
