Add tooltip, whose value is same as span value

If I have <span>some text</span>, how can I have this:

<span ti开发者_StackOverflowtle="*whatever is between span tags:* some text (in this case)">some text</span>

If you're building that HTML yourself, then just add the text into a title attribute at the time you're generating the html. e.g, in PHP it would be:

$text = 'some text';

<span title="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($text) ?>"><?php echo $text ?></span>

if you're doing it after the fact via Javascript, then (using jquery):

$('span').each(function () {
     this.attr('title', this.text());
});

---

$("span[title]").each(function(){$(this).attr("title",$(this).text())});

That's how I'd do it.
