A CSS3-only solution could be   CSS3    div id   tooltip   after  content  attr data-title   background   e5e5e5  position  absolute  top  -10px  left   0  right  0  z-index  1000     HTML5    lt div style  background  yellow   gt       lt div id  tooltip-1  data-title  Tooltip Text  style  display  inline-block  position  relative  background  pink   gt           lt label gt Name lt  label gt           lt input type  text    gt       lt  div gt   lt  div gt    You could then create a tooltip-2 div the same way    you can of course also use the title attribute instead of data attribute

Here s a pure CSS 3 implementation  with optional JS   The only thing you have to do is set an attribute on any div called  data-tooltip  and that text will be displayed next to it when you hover over it   I ve included some optional JavaScript that will cause the tooltip to be displayed near the cursor  If you don t need this feature  you can safely ignore the JavaScript portion of this fiddle   If you don t want the fade-in on the hover state  just remove the transition properties   It s styled like the title property tooltip  Here s the JSFiddle  http   jsfiddle net toe0hcyn 1   HTML Example    lt div data-tooltip  your tooltip message  gt  lt  div gt    CSS     data-tooltip        position  relative       data-tooltip   after       content  attr data-tooltip        position  absolute      top  -20px      right  -20px      width  150px       pointer-events  none      opacity  0      -webkit-transition  opacity  15s ease-in-out      -moz-transition  opacity  15s ease-in-out      -ms-transition  opacity  15s ease-in-out      -o-transition  opacity  15s ease-in-out      transition  opacity  15s ease-in-out       display  block      font-size  12px      line-height  16px      background   fefdcd      padding  2px 2px      border  1px solid  c0c0c0      box-shadow  2px 4px 5px rgba 0  0  0  0 4        data-tooltip  hover  after       opacity  1      Optional JavaScript for mouse position-based tooltip location change   var style   document createElement  style    document head appendChild style    var matchingElements       var allElements   document getElementsByTagName       for  var i   0  n   allElements length  i  lt  n  i          var attr   allElements i  getAttribute  data-tooltip        if  attr            allElements i  addEventListener  mouseover   hoverEvent            function hoverEvent event        event preventDefault        x   event x - this offsetLeft      y   event y - this offsetTop          Make it hang below the cursor a bit      y    10       style innerHTML      data-tooltip   after   left      x    px  top      y    px

The simplest way would be to set position  relative on the containing element and position  absolute on the tooltip element inside the container to make it float relative to the parent  containing element   For example    lt div style  background  yellow   gt       lt div style  display  inline-block  position  relative  background  pink   gt           lt label gt Name lt  label gt           lt input type  text    gt            lt div style  background   e5e5e5  position  absolute  top  -10px  left  0  right  0   gt              Tooltip text          lt  div gt       lt  div gt   lt  div gt

It can be done with CSS only  no javascript at all   running demo   Apply a custom HTML attribute  eg  data-tooltip  bla bla  to your object  div or whatever     lt div data-tooltip  bla bla  gt      something here  lt  div gt   Define the  before pseudoelement of each  data-tooltip  object to be transparent  absolutely positioned and with data-tooltip    value as content    data-tooltip  before                   position   absolute       content   attr data-tooltip        opacity   0     Define  hover before hovering state of each  data-tooltip  to make it visible    data-tooltip  hover before               opacity   1     Apply your styles  color  size  position etc  to the tooltip object  end of the story    In the demo I ve defined another rule to specify if the tooltip must disappear when hovering over it but outside of the parent  with another custom attribute  data-tooltip-persistent  and a simple rule    data-tooltip  not  data-tooltip-persistent   before       pointer-events  none      Note 1  The browser coverage for this is very wide  but consider using a javascript fallback  if needed  for old IE   Note 2  an enhancement might be adding a bit of javascript to calculate the mouse position and add it to the pseudo elements  by changing a class applied to it

You don t need JavaScript for this at all  just set the title attribute    lt div title  Hello  World   gt     lt label gt Name lt  label gt     lt input type  text   gt   lt  div gt    Note that the visual presentation of the tooltip is browser OS dependent  so it might fade in and it might not   However  this is the semantic way to do tooltips  and it will work correctly with accessibility software like screen readers   Demo in Stack Snippets   x000D   x000D   lt div title  Hello  World   gt  x000D     lt label gt Name lt  label gt  x000D     lt input type  text   gt  x000D   lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D
