Question by Nyah Kon: How to set up tooltips using database information?
I already have a database in place with thousands of entries.
What I want to do is enable tooltips that pop up when you hover over a link to each entry.
For example, look at http://aoc.yg.com/tooltips and hover over “Axe of Red Ruin”
How do I go about setting something like this up? Is it done with jquery? I don’t have experience with this kind of stuff, so if you could reference me to a site with clear instructions I would really appreciate it.
Thank you.

Handling the actual tooltips can be done with JavaScript; I’ve put a tutorial below as a source. Getting the data from your DB to put in your tooltips is a different issue… of course it depends on what is installed on your host. You should check with them to see what server-side languages are available. Otherwise, if you’re hosting locally, you can always installed PHP or whatever will support the DB you use.
