In CSS, is it possible that when I rollover one element, I make another element visible? I have an icon, and when someone mouses over it, I want it to make visible a text element that describes what the icon does.

    Here’s a CSS only tooltip I use all the time 🙂 Works great, even in IE. 

    a:hover {
background:#ffffff; 
text-decoration:none;
} 
/*BG color is a must for IE6*/

a.tooltip span {
display:none; 
padding:2px 3px; 
margin-left:8px; 
width:130px;
}

a.tooltip:hover span{
display:inline; 
position:absolute; 
background:#ffffff; 
border:1px solid #cccccc; 
color:#6c6c6c;
}

Easy 

<a class="tooltip" href="#">
Tooltip
<span>T his is the crazy little Easy Tooltip Text.
</span>
</a>

    Hope it helps.
