Where should the tooltip appear? In the entry form or when an entry is
displayed, or even in the tabular listing? I can put a title arround the
attribut names such as

<div title="Please enter some subject here">Subject:</div>

which gets interpreted by most browsers as a tooltip. However it's not
apparent to the user that leaving the cursor on top of "Subject" opens a
tooltip, especially since the cursor is displayed as the text cursor (vertical
bar), not as an arrow over the attribute. Do you have a link to a public web
page which uses tooltips?
