No need for prototype, scriptaculous, or even JavaScript: Enter Your Name: <input type="text" name="name" title="Please put your name in the little box."> ... though what you should /really/ be doing is: <label for="namefield">Enter Your Name:</label> <input id="namefield" type="text" name="name" title="Please put your name in the little box." /> Mind you, it strikes me that if you have a label saying 'Enter Your Name' the tooltip is entirely superfluous! -- Cheers...
