Create an attribute with CSS3 [duplicate]

Question

For each element of class "new" I want to show a title on hover. So using jquery I do this:

$(".new").attr("title", "import the new item");

Is it possible to create this attribute via CSS? Since we can create content I thought maybe this is possible too. So I am looking for something like

.new
{
    attr(title): "import new item"; // create property via css
}

No, it is not possible. CSS isn't used for DOM manipulation, just presentation. — Benjamin Gruenbaum

No, this does not exist for that attribute. The styling is limited. See: stackoverflow.com/questions/4383148/… — Daniel

There is a proposal to enable this kind of functionality, called Cascasing Attribute Sheets.

If only this question wasn't a duplicate, you would have gotten an up-vote for teaching me something interesting. If you post it in the original question, you got my vote

@citykid it's not currently possible with CSS, indeed jQuery is your best bet.
