Installation

Of course, at first you need a current version of the jquery library. Go to the jquery website and get yourself a copy.

Next, insert the form tips plugin as shown below:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.formtips.1.2.js"></script>

Now, attach the plugin code to some elements. In our example below we did the following:

$(document).ready(function() {

    $('form input.help, form textarea.help').formtips({
        tippedClass: 'tipped'
    });

});

Finally, give your css-class a certain style (mabye lighten it up a little) to show the user that the "tipped" version provides some help-text. Put the default text into the title-attribute of the elements you selected to be tipped.
