Sharepoint.WebControls ToolTips

Question

How can I set a tooltip to field controls in edit mode?

For instance when a user edit a article, hovering over TextField (or the title of the field) a tooltip with custom text will show.
It would also be nice to fetch this text from resources.

Answer 1

You can use the TITLE html attribute for browser-standard tooltips or javascript solutions like jQuery plugins. As a matter of fact, jQuery itself would be helpful for setting the titles of appropriate html elements as well.
