With Tooltips you can use a simple syntax to give any piece of text or image a nice and simple tooltip.
You can create these tooltips virtually anywhere in your site. So not only in articles, but also in modules and components.
SYNTAX
The syntax simply looks like:
{tip Tooltip Title::Tooltip text}...{/tip}
EDITOR BUTTON
You can use the editor button to place an example tooltip tag.
STYLING
The default styling is based on the tooltips used in the Joomla administrator, with the adition of some CSS3 styles like border radius and a shadow.
But you can of course overrule these styles via css if you want.

Joomla! has the best developers; this is just another great example.
Installs so easily. Lots of features in the free version, and a few more options available in the commercial version.
Thanks so much, A+

I am in the process of building three sites with Joomla. I am not very experienced and am only learning Joomla since august last year.
With my discovery of the Nonumber extensions I think I am able to improve the quality and readability of my sites. The backend interface is really user friendly and clear and the service after a slight problem was in one word excellent with an immediate adaptation of the specific extension.
I think the Nonumber extensions and tooltips are a very valuable asset for Joomla!

Up and running in one minute flat. Tested in current versions of Firefox, Google Chrome, and IE with no issues. Figured out the syntax in about 10 seconds.
No doubt some other extension might have some extras (though for tooltips, how many extras do you need?) but this does the tooltip job perfectly.

Tried three other tooltip extensions before this one, all three did not work as described, the tooltip text just came out on the frontpage without any hover efects. This one was installed and working in a couple of minutes and the tooltip box looked like web 2.0 straight off without any messing about. The tooltip examples on their site got me off to a quick start.
This is the best tooltip extension. I plan to use it again. An excellent extension!

This extension does exactly what it says without issues. Installed on a 1.7 site and was up and running is about a minute. Includes extras like an editor button that makes it very easy. There are also a number of basic style parameters you can adjust right in the plugin before even needing to go into the CSS (but you can if you want to).
The examples on the demo site walk you through a variety of uses.
Overall, took about 15 min to install, figure out how to use and and get things looking exactly how I want on my site. No doubt about it this is my go to extension for tooltips.

realy! like this plugin :)
Tried the other tooltip plugin which should work for 1.7. But it converts the tooltip in frontendediting mode to code, which then dont work. This plugin works absolute perfect with 1.7, no coverting code in frontendediting. And it can show own html, i tried it with tables.
Good work, go on!

It's really a great plugin to add simple tooltips inside your Joomla articles.
I've only found an issue which is the maximum length for the title, it just cut it and adds "..." at the end.
Anyway, it does what it says.

Can you contact me about this 'cutting off' issue? Because I can't reproduce it.
I use this extension to add tooltips to menu items. Which turned out to be a special request: because of the limitations of the menu title fields I needed to create a setup with both Tooltips and ReReplace, also by NoNomber.
It took some time & I needed to ask a few questions before it worked. Once again this showed that support is just as important, if not more important than the extension itself. Peter keeps up his high standards on both.

Easy to install, no fuss at all. Works so fine, smoth and fine movement of the images popping up. This gets full score from me, this in spite that i have some small difficulties displaying the frame. I testet it on small images 150 pixel wide, and large images 600 pixel wide. The frame seems to be a little bit smaller than the picture. Maybe this has something to do with my settings.
Owner's reply
The CSS gives the frame a max-width of 400px. I'll probably add some option to set or overrule that width.
