Tooltip and Title both show information when the mouse hovers on a control. They both are used for showing tooltip text.

But there is a little difference between them. Tooltip is used in server controls (e.g., Asp.Net controls), whereas Title is used in HTML controls.

Title attribute provides the title of a particular image, text etc. only when the cursor is moved to the respective text or image. Whereas there is nothing known as a tool-tip attribute, a title attribute is a tool-tip which points to the title only when the cursor highlights the text. Although there is another thing as a title tag, which provides the title to a web page which is displayed in the title bar.
