I have an input text box, on which I would like to display some text area when the user's mouse get over it, giving to him informations on the text to enter. here is my HTML code :
<html>
<body>
<style type="text/css">
.mouseover
{
}
</style>
<span onmouseover="this.classname='mouseover'" onmouseout="this.classename=''"></span>
<input id="mybox" type="text" />
</body>
</html>
What is the best CSS trick that would help to do that ? Thank you for help in advance.

Reset to default 6You can do all of this with CSS. Play around with CSS triangles for the tooltip but what you're mainly looking for is to use the :hover pseudo-class. No need for Javascript.
.input {
position: relative;
}
.tooltip {
display: none;
padding: 10px;
}
.input:hover .tooltip {
background: blue;
border-radius: 3px;
bottom: -60px;
color: white;
display: inline;
height: 30px;
left: 0;
line-height: 30px;
position: absolute;
}
.input:hover .tooltip:before {
display: block;
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: -5px;
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-left: 5px solid transparent;
border-right: 5px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 5px solid blue;
}

You can use Jquery Tooltip:
Jquery Tooltip
Just one more way to do that...
Filldle Demo
For me in IE8 OK DEMO
<input type="text">
<span>Some Text inside... </span>
span {
background-color: rgba(0,102,255,.15);
border: 2px solid rgba(0,102,255,.5);
border-radius: 10px;
color: #000;
display: none;
padding: 10px;
position: relative;
}
span:before {
content: "";
border-style: solid;
border-width: 0 15px 15px 15px;
border-color: transparent transparent rgba(0,102,255,.5) transparent;
height: 0;
position: absolute;
top: -17px;
width: 0;
}
input {
display: block
}
input:hover + span {
display: inline-block;
margin: 10px 0 0 10px
}
* simple css-based tooltip */
.tooltip {
background-color:#000;
border:1px solid #fff;
padding:10px 15px;
width:200px;
display:none;
color:#fff;
text-align:left;
font-size:12px;
/* outline radius for mozilla/firefox only */
-moz-box-shadow:0 0 10px #000;
-webkit-box-shadow:0 0 10px #000;
}
// select all desired input fields and attach tooltips to them
$("#myform :input").tooltip({
// place tooltip on the right edge
position: "center right",
// a little tweaking of the position
offset: [-2, 10],
// use the built-in fadeIn/fadeOut effect
effect: "fade",
// custom opacity setting
opacity: 0.7
});

Try this property it's asp but may work for your case
ErrorMessage="Your Message";
