Anyone know of a tooltip extension which uses script.aculo or prototype? e.g., hover a mouse on an object and pop-up a "help" dialogue?

Is there a compiled list of resources for "script.aculo or prototype" (samples or demos)?

Thanks for the tooltip pointers. I''m sure I can make do with one of these. I won''t have a chance to evaluate any of these until later this week. The solutions posted show that the term "tooltip" can describe different functionalities. 1 - there are solutions that pull up the ALT or TITLE tag, and that''s very cool and simple... I think I may go with this. 2 - for more complex "help" tooltips, some solutions take a pointer to a hidden <div> which contains complex markup and accepts CSS. Sort of a revelation for me that there are different kinds of tooltips.
