How to make a Jquery Popup note

Question

How would you make a JQuery popup Note ? This is what I currently have,

Note Code Example

<html>
        <head>
            <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"> </script>
            <style type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
                #popup {
                    border: 1px solid black;
                    width: 400px;
                }
            </style>
            <script type="text/javascript">
                $(document).ready(function() {
                    $(".HoverMe").mouseenter(function() {
                        var left = $(".HoverMe").position().left;
                        var top = $(".HoverMe").position().top;

                        $("body").append("<div id=\"popup\"> </div>");
                        $("#popup").css("left",left);
                        $("#popup").css("top",top);
                        $("#popup").append("<p> Hello World </p>");
                    });
                    $(".HoverMe").mouseleave(function() {
                        $("#popup").fadeout("fast");
                    });
                });
            </script>
        </head>
        <body>
            <div class="HoverMe">
                Hover Me
            </div>
        </body>
    </html>

Thats not what I wanted, i wanted something like when you hover some text, it displays a popup with some text. The popup is then aligned center of the text if that makes sense.

Any examples would be useful,

Thank you!

How about using someone else's code for this? I recommend tipsy .

Answer 2

Have a look here. It's not jQuery, although arguably it's an easier technique than jQuery:
