The Social Media Buttons allow your website visitors and content viewers to easily share your content with their social media connections and networks. A tooltip is a short, informative message that appears when a user interacts with an element.
In this program (Social Media Buttons with Tooltip), at first, on the webpage, there are five social media buttons – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Github, and YouTube. When you hover on a particular button or icon then the tooltip appears with sliding animation and the background color of a button also changes with the default icon color. Inside the tooltip, there is the name of a particular hovered social media icon as you have seen in the image.
If you’re finding it difficult to understand what I am saying. You can watch a full video tutorial on this program (Social Media Buttons with Tooltip).
