Essential HTML

role tooltip

suggest change

A contextual popup that displays a description for an element. 

<span aria-describedby="slopedesc">Slope</span>
<div role="tooltip" id="slopedesc">y=mx+b</div>

Typically, the tooltip would be hidden. Using JavaScript, the tooltip would be displayed after a delay when the user hovers over the element that it describes.
