The CSS attr() Function
While we believe that this content benefits our community, we have not yet thoroughly reviewed it. If you have any suggestions for improvements, please let us know by clicking the “report an issue“ button at the bottom of the tutorial.
attr() is a CSS function that returns the value of a property. That means that you can define content in your html markup using any custom property and then fetch the value using attr(). It only works on the content property at the moment, but support for other properties are currently in the experimental stage.
An example should help explain. First, the HTML markup:
<span data-tooltip="Cascading Style Sheets">CSS</span>
And now the CSS:
[data-tooltip]::before {
content: attr(data-tooltip);
}
And with this you can create custom tooltips in pure CSS.
