Tooltip
Tooltips are small, interactive, textual hints for mainly graphical elements. When using icons for actions you can use a tooltip to give people clarification on its function.
<!-- data-position can be : bottom, top, left, or right -->
<a class="btn tooltipped" data-position="bottom" data-tooltip="I am a tooltip">Hover me!</a>
Tooltips are initialized automatically, but if you have dynamically added tooltips, you will need to initialize them.
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.tooltipped').tooltip();
});
