My Question:

Is there a way i can add an infobox to a label which was created by the form:checkboxes-Tag? It should appear while hovering over the label (I know that the title attribute in html does exactly this).

Scenario:

I have a div with generated checkboxes. Those checkboxes have labels which are longer than the max-width of the containing div. As i don't want the width to be increased i thought displaying the name while hovering over the label would suffice. But as far as is know the checkboxes-Tag does not support a title-tag per item (items are computed at runtime and passed to the model).

It looks like this:

<fieldset>
  <div id="selectedAccounts" style="overflow-y:scroll;overflow-x:hidden;" onchange="loadSthElse()">
    <form:checkboxes path="selectedAccounts" items="${accounts}" delimiter="</br>/>
  </div>
</fieldset>

As items i pass a Map<Integer,String> to fill values and labels.

The Spring Documentation says that the standard html attribute title is still available. But i can't see if or how it is used for every single item that is created as you only seem to define one title.

I tried something like

$("#selectedAccounts label").each(function(element) {
  element.attr('title', element.name)
}

but it wouldn't work either.

Is there a way to make this work - Javascript, Jquery - or is the checkboxes-Tag poorly chosen?
