Use a tag that exists already like alt.
This is all I can suggest to you, all you have to do is read the
documentation. If you can't figure it out from all these hints then you
should think about taking up tennis. I don't even think you are trying.
<a id="foo" alt="Tennis is fun">Serve</a>
alert( $("foo").get("alt") ); // Prints out Tennis is fun
Also look here:

Subject: [Moo] Re: Tooltips / JSON Question
Hi,
thnx for your reply.
I tried to get a value from the hovered element(term):
<a href="#" class="tips" term="Germany">Germany</a>
I thought that according to the docs the above element gets passed as
"el" to the
...onShow: function(tip,el) {
var term = el.getAttribute('term');...
function and that I could retrieve it like this:
var term = el.getAttribute('term');
But I get an error:
Object [object Object] has no method 'getAttribute'
So I tried it like this:
var term = $(el).getAttribute('term');
Doesn't work either.
Will keep on trying.
Cheers
