Display tooltip on Label's hover?


You can use the "title attribute" for label tag.

<label title="Hello This Will Have Some Value">Hello...</label>

If you need more control over the looks,

1 . try http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#tooltips as shown below. But you will need to include bootstrap.

<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="left" title="Hello This Will Have Some Value">Hello...</button>

2 . try https://jqueryui.com/tooltip/. But you will need to include jQueryUI.

<script type="text/javascript">$(document).ready(function(){$(this).tooltip();});</script>


You don't have to use hidden field. Use "title" property. It will show browser default tooltip. You can then use jQuery plugin (like before mentioned bootstrap tooltip) to show custom formatted tooltip.

<label for="male" title="Hello This Will Have Some Value">Hello ...</label>

Hint: you can also use css to trim text, that does not fit into the box (text-overflow property). See http://jsfiddle.net/8eeHs/


Are you find with using standard tooltip? You could use title attribute like

<label for="male" title="Hello This Will Have Some Value">Hello...</label>

You could add the title attribute of same value to the element that label is for as well.
