I need to put some tooltips on some form buttons. I tried using a TITLE attribute in the html tag but no luck:
<input type="button" name="complex_function_button" value="Widgetifier" title="To Widgetify is an elaborate process blabh blah blabh...">

Is there any easy way to do this short of using a javascript function to dynamically create floating html divs?

Why doesn't ToolTips work? They have to work, that's their function. All browsers understand them, even IE. It's true that IE also incorrectly displays the contents of the alt attribute, but it also displays the title attribute

I just realized Firefox *does* show them but it's pretty hard to get them to appear. You have to mouseover several things or something....not sure exactly.
