Tooltip

Overview

Clarify a control or data point. It raises contextual work above the current page and returns focus to the invoking control.

When to use

Use HE/Tooltip when you need to clarify a control or data point. Keep its role distinct from transport freshness, animal-health severity and model confidence.

Example

<span class="he-tooltip" role="tooltip">Last synchronized 28 seconds ago</span>

Anatomy

Anatomy stays identical in Pasture and Atlantic. A responsive layout may wrap or stack parts, but reading order and focus order remain equivalent.

Variants and states

Accessibility

Open on hover and focus, dismiss on Escape, and never contain required interactive content.

• Maintain a visible keyboard focus indicator and a logical focus sequence.
• Never rely on colour alone for operational, freshness or severity state.
• Keep touch targets at least 44 × 44 px unless the target is an inline text link.
