How to add tooltip to image on hover with CSS

Question

I have three images, on hover they increase in size using :hover in css. When a user hovers over the image I'd also like a tooltip to appear with a description of the image (I should also be able to position the tooltip).

HTML

<div class="bottle-container">
<div class="click-to-top"><img src="image-1.png" alt="Image 1" />Tooltip text</div>
<div class="click-to-top" style="z-index:5;"><img src="image-2.png" alt="Image 2" /></div>
<div class="click-to-top last"><img src="image-3.png" alt="Image 3" /></div>
</div>

CSS

container{
max-width:600px;
margin:0 auto;
min-height:450px;
}

div.click-to-top {
display:inline-block;
position:relative;
max-width:160px;
}

div.click-to-top:hover{
z-index:10;
}

div.click-to-top img{
-webkit-transition: all 0.8s;
moz-transition: all 0.8s;
transition: all 0.8s;
width:130px;
}

div.click-to-top img:hover{
width:140px;
z-index:10;
}

Answer 1

You can wrap the text into a <span></span> and show it on parent :hover

CSS

div.click-to-top span {
  display: none;
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 0;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  background: #333;
  color: #fff;
}

div.click-to-top:hover span {
  display: block;
}

HTML

<div class="click-to-top">
  <img src="http://lorempicsum.com/futurama/350/200/1" alt="Image 1" />
  <span>Tooltip text</span>
</div>

Look at this codepen http://codepen.io/mlegg10/pen/reqGMZ

/* `border-box`... ALL THE THINGS! */
html {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

*:before,
*:after {
  box-sizing: inherit;
}

body {
  margin: 64px auto;
  text-align: center;
  font-size: 100%;
  max-width: 640px;
  width: 94%;
}

a:hover {
  text-decoration: none;
}

header,
.tooltip,
.tooltip p {
  margin: 4em 0;
  text-align: center;
}
