Tooltip

A tooltip in web development is a small, interactive pop-up that appears when a user hovers over or focuses on an element. It provides additional information or context without cluttering the interface, offering users quick insights about features or actions. Tooltips are commonly used to enhance usability by clarifying unclear elements or providing guidance.

⚠️   Accessibility best practices:

If the information is important enough for a tooltip, isn't it important enough to always be visible? Instead of using tooltips and hiding important information, consider writing clear, succinct, always visible descriptions. If you have space, don't use tooltips or toggletips. Just provide clear labels and sufficient body text.
