Jquery variable value to use Title of HTML elements

Question

Is it possible to assign values which I have in Jquery variable to Title of elements?

E.g. var params will have value Assigned, Assignee etc.

How can I set the title of element?

You can use title attribute

Using jQuery object

$('#yourElement').attr('title', varibleval);

Using javascript DOM object

$('#yourElement')[0].title = varibleval;

Or .prop("title",variable)

That is the original Dom object

Keep in mind that the title attribute is reserved for tooltips and you should use data-title instead to adhere to current conventions.
