Can Screen Tip Font/Size be changed?

Screen tip size and font

[Xonix]

I'm looking for an easy way to have the mouse over screen tips in a larger or different font for certain items on a page. Not all items, just the tips of my choosing. Anybody know of an easy way to accomplish this with CSS?
Thanks!

Welcome to Webmaster World!

What do you mean by "screen tips"? Are you talking about the tooltips that display title/alt content? If so, they cannot be changed. They are controlled by the browser and your system settings.

Even though I don't like the answer, I really appreciate you taking the time to reply. Yes, that was what I was talking about. Thanks.

While the default presentation of "title" attribute can not be changed, you can use javascript to emulate, and often enchance the tooltips.
Consider my implementation: [url]_..._[/url]

only thing you can do is position a layer with JS near the cursor.

Dr. Doc,

I apologize if I broke any rules by posting the link. I did not consider it a self-promotion since I posted it in response to a relevant question as an illustration of javascript possibilities and the page did not contain the link to my "Commercial" site.

a span { display: none }

a:hover span {
display: block;
position: relative;
border: 1px solid black;
bottom: -1.2em; /* you'll definitely need to adjust this */
color: black;
background-color: white;
}

<a href="some_url">Widgets<span> These widgets are uber leet! Get some today!</span></a>

Or something like that. No messy JS to cut into your load time, either.

Dangit, maybe you need absolute positioning. If I remember, I'll look into it tomorrow. (Works fine on Mozilla)

Wow, this is the first time I have posted and the response has been wonderful. Thanks to all!
