</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

<link href="jquery-ui/jquery-ui.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
<script src="jquery-ui/external/jquery/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="jquery-ui/jquery-ui.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

To create a Tooltip widget; we can create any HTML element with title attribute.
<div title="You hovered on me" id="tooltip">Mouse over on me</div>
<input type="text" title="Enter your name" id="txtName"/>
4. Select the element using jQuery and call the respective jQuery UI function on it

<script type="text/javascript">
$("#tooltip").tooltip();
$("#txtName").tooltip();
</script>
