How do display a styled popup/tooltip on mousehover ofr a table's rows in HTML5/JQUERY?

Hi:

I have a table in HTML 5 that has way too many columns to display cleanly.
I'd like to be able to show a popup/tooltip that would show the row details as my mouse hovers it.

I've seen references to tooltip and qtip.

I'd like to be able to create tooltip/popup that is "multi-row" - 'multi-column."
I'd like to be able have this popup be styled (color, font, layout).

What is the best way to do this?

Can you point me out to a working example?

Thanks,
JohnB

A CSS hover rule can easily give you what you need but the structure of the page dictates how the rule declaration needs to be written.  if you post a link or your markup we should be able to put it together.

I would also have a rethink and consider: http://www.jtable.org/ that would allow you to have child tables / rows within your main table.  On the demo, click the Phone icon at the far left of any row to see the child table.
