The CSS arrow is used to add an array along with tooltip. It makes the tooltip like a speech bubble. It can also be represented in four ways:
- Top arrow
- Bottom arrow
- Left arrow
- Right arrow
CSS Top Arrow
The top arrow is used to add an arrow like structure on the top of the tooltip when you move your mouse cursor over the element. It will display the tooltip on the bottom of the element.
See this example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<style>
.tooltip {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
border-bottom: 1px dotted black;
}
.tooltip .tooltiptext {
visibility: hidden;
width: 120px;
background-color: black;
color: #fff;
text-align: center;
border-radius: 6px;
padding: 5px 0;
position: absolute;
z-index: 1;
top: 150%;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -60px;
}
.tooltip .tooltiptext::after {
content: “”;
position: absolute;
bottom: 100%;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -5px;
border-width: 5px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: transparent transparent black transparent;
}
