Inform Users with CSS Tooltip Generator
Tooltips are essential for efficient UI, explaining icons or actions without cluttering the screen. The **CSS Tooltip Generator** tool at **Online Tool Base** creates accessible, lightweight tooltips using only CSS. Unlike older methods that required JavaScript libraries like jQuery, our solution uses the `data-attribute` and pseudo-elements.
This means your tooltips will load instantly, work without scripts, and require zero maintenance. **onlinetoolbase.online** automatically calculates the complex border-triangle math needed to create the little "speech bubble" arrow pointing to your element, saving you the headache of trial-and-error positioning.
Why Use This Tool?
Performance and simplicity. Adding a 50kb library just for tooltips is overkill. Our generator provides you with a few lines of CSS that you can reuse globally. You can choose the position (Top, Bottom, Left, Right) and color scheme. It is the cleanest way to add context to buttons and links.
Key Features
- Positioning Logic: Auto-calculates absolute coordinates.
- CSS Arrows: Generates the triangle pointer using border hacks.
- Data Attributes: Content is pulled dynamically from HTML.
- Fade Effects: Includes optional transition animations.
How to Use
- Select the tooltip direction (e.g., Top).
- Customize the background and text color.
- Copy the CSS class.
- Add `data-tooltip="Your Text"` to any HTML element.
Technical & Privacy Note
