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.

Additional features

If nothing is found in the database relating the abbreviation, it then displays a list of links of similar topics / words that have been found. You can define how many of those links are shown and where they link to. ( i.e. Wikipedia etc ).

Now, if you trust the users on your page, you can even specify that, if nothing has been found, they can add the explanation to your DB. ( field shown in demo but inserting into DB is disabled ).
