Add a tooltip to a div

I have a div tag like this:

<div>
  <label>Name</label>
  <input type="text"/>
</div>

How can I displaying a tooltip on :hover of the div, preferably with a fade in/out effect.

For a simple CSS+JavaScript solution, I don't think you can beat Daniel Imms' post at stackoverflow.com/questions/15702867/…
It's surprising no one is talking about the ARIA standard; it should be the starting point for a tooltip. See Mozilla.

For the basic tooltip, you want:

<div title="This is my tooltip">

like:

.visible { height: 3em; width: 10em; background: yellow; }

For a fancier javascript version, you can look into:

https://jqueryhouse.com/best-jquery-tooltip-plugins/

The above link gives you 25 options for tooltips.


One thing to watch out for with a title tool tip is if the user click on the the your div the tooltip won't appear. This can be very frustrating... especially if your div looks like it should be clicked. eg: style="cursor: pointer;"
@RayL It isn't standard behavior for a tooltip to be clickable - this blurs links and tooltips, preventing the user from knowing whether a highlighted word will 1) give them more information or 2) take them to another page entirely. In general, bad practice.
@sscirrus I agree. That's why you should NOT style your tooltips with "cursor: pointer;" (encourages clicking) which I see too often.
If you only want to show a tooltip for some piece of text, like "details" for some keyword or something like that, use <abbr title="...">...</abbr> instead; browsers usually style this underlined with dashes / dots, indicating "there is more to tell, see my tooltip".
On Chrome, it can take a few seconds for the tooltip to appear. Kind of slow in my opinion.

It can be done with CSS only, no javascript at all

running demo

[data-tooltip]:before { /* needed - do not touch */ content: attr(data-tooltip); position: absolute; opacity: 0; /* customizable */ transition: all 0.15s ease; padding: 10px; color: #333; border-radius: 10px; box-shadow: 2px 2px 1px silver; } [data-tooltip]:hover:before { /* needed - do not touch */ opacity: 1; /* customizable */ background: yellow; margin-top: -50px; margin-left: 20px; } [data-tooltip]:not([data-tooltip-persistent]):before { pointer-events: none; } /* FOR TEST PURPOSES ONLY */ div { border: 1px solid silver; background: #ddd; margin: 20px; padding: 10px; }

Standard div, no tooltip here
Div with standard tooltip. Hover me to see the tooltip.
Hovering the tooltip doesn't matter:
if you hover out of my boundaries, the tooltip will disappear.
Div with persistent tooltip. Hover me to see the tooltip.
The tooltip won't expire until you hover on me OR it.

Apply a custom HTML attribute, eg. data-tooltip="bla bla" to your object (div or whatever):

something here
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.


I love that there are two great answers to this question. One simple and the other customizable.
This is awesome! But: how can we add a line break here? It seems to ignore <br> and others like \n or \r as these just appear as plain text in the rest of the string. Update: I just noticed setting a max-width makes it automatically adjust its content and put line breaks. Really neat! (However, if someone knows an answer, I'd still appreciate that)
@LinusGeffarth you can do it with white-space: pre-wrap; on current Chrome. I haven't tested other browsers though.
I forked @AndreaLigios solution above to use css animations instead of transitions, because opacity was causing problems with my setup in edge cases when the tooltip was near the edge of the screen in mobile devices. Here it is: jsfiddle.net/dimitrisscript/d634bqtn/2
What @Luc said: if the tooltip content is very long it might lay over other clickable elements. The opacity is a purely visual effect. The element is still there and may overlap others. Better solution would be to use display: none as default and block on hover.

You don't need JavaScript for this at all; just set the title attribute:

<div title="Hello, World!">
  <label>Name</label>
  <input type="text"/>
</div>

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


true, but if the OP wants to style the tooltip in some way, then a CSS implementation is better
@YvonneAburrow This answer is not only for the OP.
fair enough. But sometimes one needs to write an essay in a tooltip, and in that situation the title attribute just doesn't cut it.
@YvonneAburrow ... That's why there's multiple upvoted answers. If you need something simple and quick, title works. There are other answers that are more complex if you need something more complex. I'm honestly not sure what point you are trying to make here.
In terms of OP's fade in/out requirement, this doesn't work, but from my point of view, this is the easiest and best way to just put a tooltip on screen.

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:

<div data-tooltip="your tooltip message"></div>

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 < 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  }'

}

Here's a nice jQuery Tooltip:

https://jqueryui.com/tooltip/

To implement this, just follow these steps:

Add this code in your tags: On the HTML elements that you want to have the tooltip, just add a title attribute to it. Whatever text is in the title attribute will be in the tooltip.

Note: When JavaScript is disabled, it will fallback to the default browser/operating system tooltip.


I used your solution here. stackoverflow.com/questions/71043039/…. But I am not getting a good result. Thanks.

I did something that should be able to be adapted to a div as well.

HTML

<td>
    <%# (Eval("Name").ToString().Length > 65) ? Eval("Name").ToString().Substring(0, 60) + "..." : Eval("Name")%>
    <span class="showonhover">
        <a href="#"><%# (Eval("Name").ToString().Length > 65) ? "More" : "" %></a>
        <span class="hovertext">
            <%# Eval("Name") %>
        </span>
    </span>
</td>

CSS

.showonhover .hovertext { display: none;}
.showonhover:hover .hovertext {display: inline;}
a.viewdescription {color:#999;}
a.viewdescription:hover {background-color:#999; color: White;}
.hovertext {position:absolute;z-index:1000;border:1px solid #ffd971;background-color:#fffdce;padding:11px;width:150px;font-size: 0.75em;}

For a more in-depth discussion, see my post:

A simple Formatted ToolTip text on hover


Question was for a html solution not some .net server-side magic.
The .net code is in there to show truncation. The approach using html and css is still valid.
This is the easiest and best solution, as it doesn't rely on JS. Just make the span.showonhover focusable or move the span.hovertext into the link and you are fully accessible for screen readers (and therefore better than the title-attribute solution). Oh, and forget about <%# ... %>

Okay, here's all of your bounty requirements met:

No jQuery

Instant appearing

No dissapearing until the mouse leaves the area

Fade in/out effect incorporated

And lastly.. simple solution

Here's a demo and link to my code (JSFiddle)

Here are the features that I've incorporated into this purely JS, CSS and HTML5 fiddle:

You can set the speed of the fade.

You can set the text of the tooltip with a simple variable.

HTML:

<div id="wrapper">
    <div id="a">Hover over this div to see a cool tool tip!</div>
</div>

CSS:

#a{
    background-color:yellow;
    padding:10px;
    border:2px solid red;    
}

.tooltip{
    background:black;
    color:white;
    padding:5px;
    box-shadow:0 0 10px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);
    border-radius:10px;
    opacity:0;
}

JavaScript:

var div = document.getElementById('wrapper');
var a = document.getElementById("a");
var fadeSpeed = 25; // a value between 1 and 1000 where 1000 will take 10
                    // seconds to fade in and out and 1 will take 0.01 sec.
var tipMessage = "The content of the tooltip...";

var showTip = function(){    
    var tip = document.createElement("span");
    tip.className = "tooltip";
    tip.id = "tip";
    tip.innerHTML = tipMessage;
    div.appendChild(tip);
    tip.style.opacity="0"; // to start with...
    var intId = setInterval(function(){
        newOpacity = parseFloat(tip.style.opacity)+0.1;
        tip.style.opacity = newOpacity.toString();
        if(tip.style.opacity == "1"){
            clearInterval(intId);
        }
    }, fadeSpeed);
};
var hideTip = function(){
    var tip = document.getElementById("tip");
    var intId = setInterval(function(){
        newOpacity = parseFloat(tip.style.opacity)-0.1;
        tip.style.opacity = newOpacity.toString();
        if(tip.style.opacity == "0"){
            clearInterval(intId);
            tip.remove();
        }
    }, fadeSpeed);
    tip.remove();
};

a.addEventListener("mouseover", showTip, false);
a.addEventListener("mouseout", hideTip, false);

Quickly moving the cursor in and out spawns multiple tooltips that won't disappear in your jsfiddle.
I wonder, if tooltip apears at mouse position. Great customization.
"newOpacity = ..." should be "var newOpacity = ...", right?

You can create custom CSS tooltips using a data attribute, pseudo elements and content: attr() eg.

http://jsfiddle.net/clintioo/gLeydk0k/11/

<div data-tooltip="This is my tooltip">
    <label>Name</label>
    <input type="text" />
</div>

.

div:hover:before {
    content: attr(data-tooltip);
    position: absolute;
    padding: 5px 10px;
    margin: -3px 0 0 180px;
    background: orange;
    color: white;
    border-radius: 3px;
}

div:hover:after {
    content: '';
    position: absolute;
    margin: 6px 0 0 3px;
    width: 0;
    height: 0;
    border-top: 5px solid transparent;
    border-right: 10px solid orange;
    border-bottom: 5px solid transparent;
}

input[type="text"] {
    width: 125px;
    -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
    -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

I have developed three type fade effects :

/* setup tooltips */ .tooltip { position: relative; } .tooltip:before, .tooltip:after { display: block; opacity: 0; pointer-events: none; position: absolute; } .tooltip:after { border-right: 6px solid transparent; border-bottom: 6px solid rgba(0,0,0,.75); border-left: 6px solid transparent; content: ''; height: 0; top: 20px; left: 20px; width: 0; } .tooltip:before { background: rgba(0,0,0,.75); border-radius: 2px; color: #fff; content: attr(data-title); font-size: 14px; padding: 6px 10px; top: 26px; white-space: nowrap; } /* the animations */ /* fade */ .tooltip.fade:after, .tooltip.fade:before { transform: translate3d(0,-10px,0); transition: all .15s ease-in-out; } .tooltip.fade:hover:after, .tooltip.fade:hover:before { opacity: 1; transform: translate3d(0,0,0); } /* expand */ .tooltip.expand:before { transform: scale3d(.2,.2,1); transition: all .2s ease-in-out; } .tooltip.expand:after { transform: translate3d(0,6px,0); transition: all .1s ease-in-out; } .tooltip.expand:hover:before, .tooltip.expand:hover:after { opacity: 1; transform: scale3d(1,1,1); } .tooltip.expand:hover:after { transition: all .2s .1s ease-in-out; } /* swing */ .tooltip.swing:before, .tooltip.swing:after { transform: translate3d(0,30px,0) rotate3d(0,0,1,60deg); transform-origin: 0 0; transition: transform .15s ease-in-out, opacity .2s; } .tooltip.swing:after { transform: translate3d(0,60px,0); transition: transform .15s ease-in-out, opacity .2s; } .tooltip.swing:hover:before, .tooltip.swing:hover:after { opacity: 1; transform: translate3d(0,0,0) rotate3d(1,1,1,0deg); } /* basic styling: has nothing to do with tooltips: */ h1 { padding-left: 50px; } ul { margin-bottom: 40px; } li { cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; padding: 0 10px; }

You can use title. it'll work for just about everything

<div title="Great for making new friends through cooperation.">

<input script=JavaScript type=button title="Click for a compliment" onclick="window.alert('Your hair reminds me of a sunset across a prairie')" value="making you happy">

<table title="Great job working for those who understand the way i feel">

just think of any tag that can be visible to html window and insert a title="whatever tooltip you'd like" inside it's tag and you got yourself a tooltip.


I don't understand why you got so little number of votes. I was sure that there is a simple solution but people as well as w3schools come up with complex solutions for such a simple thing. thank you.

You can toggle a child div during onmouseover and onmouseout like this:

function Tooltip(el, text) {
  el.onmouseover = function() {
    el.innerHTML += '<div class="tooltip">' + text + '</div>' 
    }
  el.onmouseout = function() {
    el.removeChild(el.querySelector(".tooltip"))
  }
}

//Sample Usage
Tooltip(document.getElementById("mydiv"),"hello im a tip div")

Example in Stack Snippets & jsFiddle

function Tooltip(el, text) { el.onmouseover = function() { el.innerHTML += '

' + text + '
' } el.onmouseout = function() { el.removeChild(el.querySelector(".tooltip")) } } //Sample Usage Tooltip(document.getElementById("mydiv"), "I'm a tooltip") #mydiv { position: relative; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; width: 120px; height: 50px; padding: 5px 10px; background-color: #e2f7ff; box-shadow: 1px 1px 1px 0px #cecece; } .tooltip { position: absolute; display: inline-block; white-space: nowrap; width: auto; height: auto; background-color: #11121b; color: white; padding: 4px 6px; border-radius: 3px; z-index: 99; left: 100%; top: 0; }
This is just a div

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:

<div style="background: yellow;">
    <div style="display: inline-block; position: relative; background: pink;">
        <label>Name</label>
        <input type="text" />

        <div style="background: #e5e5e5; position: absolute; top: -10px; left: 0; right: 0;">
            Tooltip text
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Try this. You can do it with only css and I have only added data-title attribute for tooltip.

.tooltip{ position:relative; display: inline-block; } .tooltip[data-title]:hover:after { content: attr(data-title); padding: 4px 8px; color: #fff; position: absolute; left: 0; top: 110%; white-space: nowrap; border-radius: 5px; background:#000; }

Here's a simple tooltip implementation that keeps into account the position of your mouse as well as the height and width of your window :

function showTooltip(e) { var tooltip = e.target.classList.contains("tooltip") ? e.target : e.target.querySelector(":scope .tooltip"); tooltip.style.left = (e.pageX + tooltip.clientWidth + 10 < document.body.clientWidth) ? (e.pageX + 10 + "px") : (document.body.clientWidth + 5 - tooltip.clientWidth + "px"); tooltip.style.top = (e.pageY + tooltip.clientHeight + 10 < document.body.clientHeight) ? (e.pageY + 10 + "px") : (document.body.clientHeight + 5 - tooltip.clientHeight + "px"); } var tooltips = document.querySelectorAll('.couponcode'); for(var i = 0; i < tooltips.length; i++) { tooltips[i].addEventListener('mousemove', showTooltip); } .couponcode { color: red; cursor: pointer; } .couponcode:hover .tooltip { display: block; } .tooltip { position: absolute; white-space: nowrap; display: none; background: #ffffcc; border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px; z-index: 1000; color: black; } Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscingThis is a tooltip elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

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:

<div style="background: yellow;">
    <div id="tooltip-1" data-title="Tooltip Text" style="display: inline-block; position: relative; background: pink;">
        <label>Name</label>
        <input type="text" />
    </div>
</div>

You could then create a tooltip-2 div the same way... you can of course also use the title attribute instead of data attribute.


Why the hell would you use an id to style something you want more instances of, and then use the [id^=tooltip] selector when you could have just used a class and .tooltip?
You're right. I started off with ids, so followed it on and totally missed it. But hey, someone might benefit from it. Oh and by the way, we could even use an attribute selector for that matter to select "data-title" (e.g. div[data-title]) without having to add extra markup.

you can do it with simple css... jsfiddle here you can see the example

below css code for tooltip

  opacity: 0;
  pointer-events: none;
}

/* Position tooltip above the element */
[data-tooltip]:before {
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 150%;

you can also use this as tooltip...It works same but you have to write extra tag thats it..

<abbr title="THis is tooltip"></abbr>

Without using any API You can do something like this too by using pure CSS and Jquery Demo

HTML

<div class="pointer_tooltip"> 
    Click & Drag to draw the area
</div>

CSS

.pointer_tooltip{
  width : auto;
  height : auto;
  padding : 10px;
  border-radius : 5px;
  background-color : #fff;
  position: absolute;
}

Jquery

$(document).mousemove(function( event ) {
    var pageCoords = "( " + event.pageX + ", " + event.pageY + " )";   

    //set the actuall width
    $('.pointer_tooltip').width($('.pointer_tooltip').width());
    var position_top = event.pageY+18;
    var position_left = event.pageX-60;          
    var width=$('body').width()-$('.pointer_tooltip').width();

    //check if left not minus
    if(position_left<0){
      position_left=10;
    }else if(position_left > width){
     position_left=width-10;
    }       


    $('.pointer_tooltip').css('top',position_top+'px');
    $('.pointer_tooltip').css('left',position_left+'px');
});

You can make tooltip using pure CSS.Try this one.Hope it should help you to solve your problem.

HTML

<div class="tooltip"> Name
    <span class="tooltiptext">Add your tooltip text here.</span>
</div>

CSS

.tooltip {
        position: relative;
        display: inline-block;
        cursor: pointer;
    }

    .tooltip .tooltiptext {
        visibility: hidden;
        width: 270px;
        background-color: #555;
        color: #fff;
        text-align: center;
        border-radius: 6px;
        padding: 5px 0;
        position: absolute;

There are lots of answers to this question but still may be it will help someone. It is for all left, right, top, bottom positions.

Here is the css:

    .m-tb-5 {
        margin-top: 2px;
        margin-bottom: 2px;
    }
    [data-tooltip] {
        display: inline-block;
        position: relative;
        cursor: help;
        padding: 3px;
    }
    /* Tooltip styling */
    [data-tooltip]:before {
        content: attr(data-tooltip);
        display: none;
        position: absolute;
        background: #000;
        color: #fff;
        padding: 3px 6px;
        font-size: 10px;
        line-height: 1.4;
        min-width: 100px;
        text-align: center;
        border-radius: 4px;
    }
    /* Dynamic horizontal centering */
    [data-tooltip-position="top"]:before,
    [data-tooltip-position="bottom"]:before {
        left: 50%;
        -ms-transform: translateX(-50%);
        -moz-transform: translateX(-50%);
        -webkit-transform: translateX(-50%);
        transform: translateX(-50%);
    }
    /* Dynamic vertical centering */
    [data-tooltip-position="right"]:before,
    [data-tooltip-position="left"]:before {
        top: 50%;
        -ms-transform: translateY(-50%);
        -moz-transform: translateY(-50%);
        -webkit-transform: translateY(-50%);
        transform: translateY(-50%);
    }
    [data-tooltip-position="top"]:before {
        bottom: 100%;
        margin-bottom: 6px;
    }
    [data-tooltip-position="right"]:before {
        left: 100%;
        margin-left: 6px;
    }
    [data-tooltip-position="bottom"]:before {
        top: 100%;
        margin-top: 6px;
    }
    [data-tooltip-position="left"]:before {
        right: 100%;
        margin-right: 6px;
    }

    /* Tooltip arrow styling/placement */
    [data-tooltip]:after {
        content: '';
        display: none;
        position: absolute;
        width: 0;
        height: 0;
        border-color: transparent;
        border-style: solid;
    }
    /* Dynamic horizontal centering for the tooltip */
    [data-tooltip-position="top"]:after,
    [data-tooltip-position="bottom"]:after {
        left: 50%;
        margin-left: -6px;
    }
    /* Dynamic vertical centering for the tooltip */
    [data-tooltip-position="right"]:after,
    [data-tooltip-position="left"]:after {
        top: 50%;
        margin-top: -6px;
    }
    [data-tooltip-position="top"]:after {
        bottom: 100%;
        border-width: 6px 6px 0;
        border-top-color: #000;
    }
    [data-tooltip-position="right"]:after {
        left: 100%;
        border-width: 6px 6px 6px 0;
        border-right-color: #000;
    }

    [data-tooltip-position="left"]:after {
        right: 100%;
        border-width: 6px 0 6px 6px;
        border-left-color: #000;
    }
    /* Show the tooltip when hovering */
    [data-tooltip]:hover:before,
    [data-tooltip]:hover:after {
        display: block;
        z-index: 50;
    }

And the HTML tag can be like this:

<p data-tooltip-position="right" data-tooltip="Some tooltip text here" title="">Text Here</p>

<p data-tooltip-position="left" data-tooltip="Some tooltip text here" title="">Text Here</p>

<p data-tooltip-position="top" data-tooltip="Some tooltip text here" title="">Text Here</p>

<p data-tooltip-position="bottom" data-tooltip="Some tooltip text here" title="">Text Here</p>

You can try bootstrap tooltips.

$(function () {
  $('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip()
})

And my version

.tooltip{
display: inline;
position: relative; /** very important set to relative*/
}

.tooltip:hover:after{
background: #333;
background: rgba(0,0,0,.8);
border-radius: 5px;
bottom: 26px;
color: #fff;
content: attr(title); /**extract the content from the title */
left: 20%;
padding: 5px 15px;
position: absolute;
z-index: 98;
width: 220px;
}

.tooltip:hover:before{
border: solid;
border-color: #333 transparent;
border-width: 6px 6px 0 6px;
bottom: 20px;
content: "";
left: 50%;
position: absolute;
z-index: 99;
}

Then the HTML

<div title="This is some information for our tooltip." class="tooltip">bar </div>

J
José Alvarez

I created a kind of formula for it. First this is the html

<div class="tooltip-container">
  <button class="tooltip-tarjet">
    My Button
  </button>
  <div class="tooltip-element"> 
    This is my tooltip content right here...
  </div>
</div>

Now the css for it

.tooltip-container { 
  /* it contains the tooltip message and the one firing the tooltip
   * it has position relative since it allows for a better responsive positioning
   * of the tooltip-element */
  display: inline-block;
  position: relative;
  flex-direction: row;
}
.tooltip-tarjet:hover + .tooltip-element {
  /* this selector rule matches the tooltip-element right after
   * tooltip-tarjet at a hover action
   *  */
  display: inline-block;
  position: absolute;
  background-color: #869096;
  color: white;
  opacity: 1;
  transition: all 1s;
}
.tooltip-element { 
  /* here goes the tooltip-element styles and positioning, now your
   * tooltip element will always remain to your desired positionno matter
   * the screen size at hand 
   *  */ 
  display: none; 
  opacity: 0;
  text-align: center;
  padding: 7px;
  z-index: 10;
  width: 200px;
  left: -60px;
  bottom: 48px;
  border-radius: 5px;
  -webkit-border-radius: 5px;
  -moz-border-radius: 5px;
  font-size: 12px;
  line-height: 1.5;
}
