If you go to, say:

It seems to load the item tooltips once you hover over the items, rather then do it all in advance, although I suppose this could be achived with adding the item id / link.


WoWHead doesn't have spell tags, but if you link the text to the URL of the spell, it should come up as a tooltip (for example: http://guidewiki.com/forums/world-wa...ide-wotlk.html). If you want it to look just like an item link, just add font/color tags inside of the URL tag.

The tooltip display and information is pulled from wowhead servers in real time. the only overhead it adds to your rendered page is changing Runic Mana Potion to <a href="wowheadlink" style=whatever>runic mana potion</a>

Wowhead supports spell tooltips, the problem is that it doesnt have XML data of the spell so you would have to know the spell ID. it would be easy to do [spell]133[/spell] and have that turn into a link for wowhead (Mage fireball Rank 1) , but i don't expect everyone to know the spell ID of every spell , nor do i want to create some type of database of information linking spell names with spell IDs (since many spell IDs could have the same name).
