CSS Tooltips?

[wwwfilmfilercom]

I'm adding a css tooltip to my website. Using it, i'll be able to show the information of a particular image. I've found something called qTip and the tooltip is easy to add. However I wonder if they are a good idea overall - do you think it is worth adding? One thing I see is that, using Opera, the image link shows up in a standard tooltip, which covers my own css tooltip. I'm sure it's not a big problem but I'm wondering whether to add it all now. Any thoughts?

I guess it's not possible. Even if it were, are you sure its a good idea?
I mean, the basic rule is x/html for content, css for appearance.

If I were u, I would set the image and it's title (tooltip) in the html, to make it search engine friendly.

Just read your post again....guess I misunderstood

I consider dynamic tooltips something that should be done in JavaScript. (They must, however, be accessible through some other means without scripting - such as having the content on another page).

maybe this will help you

Thanks for that.

once the script converts the title text, set that attribute to "" to prevent it from popping up the old-fashioned title-based tooltip.

i think its a good idea, it can make you site richer. make sure to use a script that 'upgrades' regular title attributes, so that those w/o javascript can still get the info.
