Your best shot at happiness, self-worth and personal satisfaction - the things that constitute real success - is not in earning as much as you can but in performing as well as you can something that you consider worthwhile.

Custom Tool Tips

It’s often useful to have custom tool tips (mini info pop-ups located by your cursor when you hover over a link or other HTML object). The stock tool tip created by using ‘alt or ‘title’ attributes in the A tag are ugly and do not allow for custom formatting. Here are two good solutions that are flexible.

OverLIB - A JavaScript library created to enhance websites with small popup information boxes to help visitors around your website.

Walter Zorn DHTML Tooltips - A cross-browser tooltip JavaScript that can be customized in multiple ways.

A nice implementation of overLIB.
