how to add tooltip in wordpress plugin in WordPress

I am trying add additional function for myself in a wordpress plugin, but I am not understanding how can I do that, I am not so good with jQuery..

I am trying to add tooltip but how, i don’t know, can you guys please guide me.

I added myself the following lines in the script:

wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery_ui_tooltip', CHILD_URL . '/widgets/genesis-tabs/jquery-ui.js', false, '1.9.2' );

and

wp_register_style( 'jquery_ui_styles', CHILD_URL . '/widgets/genesis-tabs/jquery-ui.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'jquery_ui_styles' );

these are the codes of plugin

<?php
add_action( 'wp_head', 'head_slideshow', 1 );
function head_slideshow() {
    // javascript
    wp_enqueue_script( 'tabs_script', CHILD_URL . '/widgets/genesis-tabs/tabs.js', array( 'jquery' ), '1.3.2' );
    wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery_ui_tooltip', CHILD_URL . '/widgets/genesis-tabs/jquery-ui.js', false, '1.9.2' );
    // styles
    wp_register_style( 'tabs_styles', CHILD_URL . '/widgets/genesis-tabs/style.css' );
    wp_register_style( 'jquery_ui_styles', CHILD_URL . '/widgets/genesis-tabs/jquery-ui.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'tabs_styles' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'jquery_ui_styles' );
}

add_action( 'widgets_init', 'TabsWidgetRegister' );
function TabsWidgetRegister() {
    register_widget( 'TabsWidget' );
}

class TabsWidget extends WP_Widget {

    function TabsWidget() {
        $widget_ops = array( 'classname' => 'tabs-widget', 'description' => __('Genesis - Home Featured') );
        $control_ops = array( 'width' => 300, 'height' => 250, 'id_base' => 'tabs-widget' );
        $this->WP_Widget( 'tabs-widget', __('Genesis - Home Featured'), $widget_ops, $control_ops );
    }

    function widget( $args, $instance ) {
        extract( $args );
        echo $before_widget;
    ?>

    </p>

    <?php
    }
}

?>

and its jQuery file is:

var $jq=jQuery.noConflict();

$jq(document).ready(function(){
    $jq(".tab_content").hide();
    $jq("ul.tabs li:first").addClass("active").show();
    $jq(".tab_content:first").show();
    $jq("ul.tabs li").click(function(){
        $jq("ul.tabs li").removeClass("active");
        $jq(this).addClass("active");
        $jq(".tab_content").hide();

        var activeTab = $jq(this).find("a").attr("href");
        $jq(activeTab).fadeIn();

    return false
    })
});

I am trying to show the description of each image in tooltip when someone mouse over the tab small images,,

If you’re using the jQuery UI tooltip, I think the functionality is as simple as just adding it to you whole document, and it will use the title attribute of any element as the tip. In the jQuery file, add this line after $jq(document).ready(function(){
```
    $jq(document).tooltip();
```
Then, just make sure any images have a title attribute.
```
<img src="someimage.jpg" title="Here is a great image">
```
