I am seeking a way to implement popup definitions that appear when a div is hovered over. My website showcases detailed camera specifications, and I want users to see a brief definition when they hover over the megapixel class called '.mp'. One of my main goals is to be able to simply add the class '.mp' to any existing div or class, so that a popup will appear above it with the relevant information. This flexibility will allow me to reuse definitions in multiple locations on the site.
I am looking for an efficient solution as my current method is both inefficient and cumbersome.
In my site layout, the specifications are displayed using PHP and fetched from a database. Each specification is wrapped in '.spec_item'. The names of the specs are stored in an array which can be dynamically added to each div using a loop:
$sensor_db = array("mp", "sensor_size", "sensor_type", "light_sensitivity");
For example, this generates divs like:
<div class="spec_item mp">
12.9
</div>
<div class="spec_item sensor_size">
0.95X
</div>
<div class="spec_item sensor_type">
APS-C
</div>
When a user hovers over any div with the class '.mp', I want the corresponding definition to display below it in a small popup, similar to the effect shown in my mockup image. I could achieve this by storing all definitions in another array and toggling between display none/block on hover. However, this approach would not allow me to easily apply the '.mp' class to any div and have the definition automatically show up, which is my desired functionality.
Any guidance or assistance on how I can achieve this would be greatly appreciated.
