        <div class="explain">
            <p>Each span has a custom data attribute. Here it is <span>data-tip</span>. The value of this data attribute is the message of the tooltip using the CSS function <span>attr()</span>.</p>
            <p>Each span also has an attribute of <span>tabindex</span> with values incrementing from 1. This allows users without a mouse to view the messages behind the tooltips.</p>
            <p>See <span>tooltip.css</span> for a more detailed breakdown.</p>
