Hello Niels, Thank you so much for taking out the time to find this info for me. I do take your advice to heart about the pitfalls of using tooltip on XWiki. I also visited the website where the tooltips are actually implemented. Unfortunately, the performance was not satisfactory. I might have to come up with something else to circumnavigate my problem at hand. Once again, thank you so much for your timely response.
