I believe that tooltips are one of the most important and useful Javascript widgets on the web. Many libraries and plug-ins are available for jQuery that enable easy implementation of tool tips: qTip, SimpleTip, jQuery Tooltip, EZPZ Tooltip, jQuery Input Floating Hint Box, HTML ToolTip, Orbital Tooltip, Tipsy, ClueTip, jTip, BeautyTips, Hovertips, BetterTip, jqTooltip...
I love using tool tips in forms. An automatic appearing box with hint, when user focuses on an input increases the usability of the form. I have used many tooltip plugins but recently I have discovered an easy-to use one: Tooltip Plug-in from jQuery Tools. It is really easy to use and can be customized. It can contain any HTML Element such as images, links and tables. Beside the default effect "slice-up and toogle", you can easily built your own effects.

For basic usage: each tooltip should be specified in the title attribute of each form element.

With advanced features, you can customize tooltip's appearance and dimensions with CSS. Moreover, the positioning of the tooltip can be modified easily.
