I have a form with 3 sections in it. Each section has a dedicated div for fairly long contextual help messages regarding the input that has focus.
My question is, if I give each of these help divs a class of "form-tip" and each input that has a tip the class "has-tip", how can I get the tip to always show up in the previous "form-tip" div?
Something like:
$('.has-tip').each(focus(function() {
    var tip = $(this).attr('title');
    // Find most recent $('.form-tip') in the DOM and populate it with tip
}));
I hope that makes sense... Thanks for any help.
