Add hover text without javascript like we hover on a user's reputation

Use the title attribute, for example:

<div title="them's hoverin' words">hover me</div>

or:

<span title="them's hoverin' words">hover me</span>

The title attribute also works well with other html elements, for example a link...

<a title="hover text" ng-href="{{getUrl()}}"> download link
</a>

Often i reach for the abbreviation html tag in this situation.

<abbr title="Hover">Text</abbr>
