Programmatically displaying HTML element titles

Question

Is there a javascript way to display or hide element title (defined as an html attribute), as if the mouse was hovering above said dom element, without actually involving the mouse?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Not with native tooltips/titles. But there are jQuery plugins like this which let you cutomize and control them.

Answer 2

I would use an absolutely positioned DIV that looks like the native tooltip and contains the same text as an alternative. It should be fairly trivial to loop through all elements and create a DIV for each one that has a title attribute.

Very little hassle and no JavaScript plugins required.
