<span title="Hover text">Hello World</span>
In Firefox, that will display a tooltip with "Hover text" but in Chrome, you get nothing. Any way to fix this with HTML/CSS or is another scripting language required?
Supported Browsers: The browser supported by title attribute are listed below: Chrome. Edge 12.
Optimizing your alt and title attributes is also a benefit for user experience, which in turn, enhances your search engine ranking. Because Google can't actually “see” an image, keywords in the alt text help search crawlers scan a page and understand the purpose of those images.
Where do you expect title to be shown? Title is what usually is displayed in the tab bar of your browser, or as text in your window switcher in your operating system. It does not show up inside your webpage. Your markup seems to be correct, just look for the title in the browser window.
The title attribute specifies extra information about an element. The information is most often shown as a tooltip text when the mouse moves over the element. The title attribute can be used on any HTML element (it will validate on any HTML element. However, it is not necessarily useful).
title="hover text"
is the way chrome works. Are you sure you don't have something else (maybe a div with no content) overtop of the span text?
It works for me with only title.
You should use both alt="Hover text"
and title="Hover text"
