How To Create a Custom Tooltip

Posted By Bajarangi soft , Posted On 30-09-2020

A tooltip is often used to specify extra information about something when the user moves the mouse pointer over an element,To create an arrow that should appear from a specific side of the tooltip, add "empty" content after tooltip, with the pseudo-element class ::after together with the content property. The arrow itself is created using borders. This will make the tooltip look like a speech bubble.

        display: inline-block;
