mooDBToolTip - DB driven tooltips with AJAX and PHP

mooDBToolTip is an AJAX & PHP driven solution to populate a toolTip for a specific link or tag in your website automatically.

Assume you want to explain your users certain abbreviations - normally you’d do this with an html tag, which contains the explanation. This can get very time consuming, if you run a blog, a board or any DB driven website.

Here mooDBToolTip enters the game. It simply gets the tag in question, queries it to a database, and if an explanation to this word is found, it creates and injects a tooltip into the page containing the found interpretation. But stop! That’s far from being all that this tool is capable of.
