在列表中使用tootips [HTML，CSS]

Question

Looked at W3School's tooltips guide and basically retyped it, but the example doesn't use a list, and I am using a list for a practice website I'm doing. As a result, it's formatted weirdly.

I tried messing around with it, removing the li tag and it worked but it isn't what I'm looking for.

h1 {
    color: #D3D3D3;
}

.tooltip {
    position: relative;
    display: inline-block;
    border-bottom: 1px dotted black;
}

.tooltip .tooltiptext {
    visibility: hidden;
    width: 120px;
    background-color: #555;
    color: #fff;
    text-align: center;
    border-radius: 6px;
    padding: 5px 0;
    position: absolute;
    z-index: 1;
    bottom: 125%;
    left: 50%;
    margin-left: -60px;
    opacity: 0;
    transition: opacity 0.3s;
}

.tooltip .toolptiptext::after; {
    content: "";
    position: absolute;
    top: 100%;
    left: 50%;
    margin-left: -5px;
    border-width: 5px;
    border-style: solid;
    border-color: #555 transparent transparent transparent;
}

.tooltip:hover .tooltiptext {
    visibility: visible;
    opacity: 1;
    }

I expect it to be a list that when you hover over it'll show the tooltip, formatted the same as a regular HTML list. That's really it.

I think I made it work like you want. Try adding this to your code

li {
  list-style: none;
  float: left;
  clear: left;
}

li:before {
  content: '\ffed';
  margin-right: 0.5em;
}

Like this

  .tooltip { position: relative; } li { list-style: none; float: left; clear: left; } li:before { content: '\\ffed'; margin-right: 0.5em; } .tooltip .tooltiptext { visibility: hidden; width: 120px; background-color: black; color: #fff; text-align: center; border-radius: 6px; position: absolute; z-index: 1; top: -5px; left: 110%; } .tooltip .tooltiptext::after { content: ""; position: absolute; top: 50%; right: 100%; margin-top: -5px; border-width: 5px; border-style: solid; border-color: transparent black transparent transparent; } .tooltip:hover .tooltiptext { visibility: visible; } 

  <ul> <li class="tooltip"> Hover over me <span class="tooltiptext">Tooltip text</span> </li> <li class="tooltip"> And again <span class="tooltiptext">Tooltip text</span> </li> </ul>

 .tooltiplink::after { visibility: hidden; content: attr(name); background-color: #555; color: #fff; text-align: center; border-radius: 6px; padding: 5px 0; position: absolute; margin: -1rem; padding: 5px; border-style: solid; border-color: #555 transparent transparent transparent; opacity: 0; transition: opacity 0.3s; } .tooltiplink:hover::after { visibility: visible; opacity: 1; } 

 <ul> <li class="tooltiplink" name="This is a tooltip">Option 1 </li> <li class="tooltiplink" name="This is a tooltip for the 2th option">Option 2 </li> <li class="tooltiplink" name="This is a tooltip for the 3th option">Option 3 </li> </ul>
