clueTip is a good jQuery plugin which provides tooltips with inline and AJAX definitions. For example an AJAX definition can be achieved with this HTML:

<a class="definition" href="link-to-tag.html" rel="ajax.html">tag</a>

And load the jQuery plugin with the following Javascript:

$('a.definition').cluetip();

If you want to use jQuery there are many plugins and scripts to acheive a similar tooltip effect. One that appears to be quite good can be found here.

i want to load the contents via ajax.

There is no reason you can't load the contents via AJAX... have a look at this page: flowplayer.org/tools/demos/tooltip/any-html.html. You can load content via AJAX into the <div class="tooltip"> when the page loads (or any time you like).

its cool but not as i expected. On stackoverflow it happens when you hover on the tag and you see a loading bar trying to fetch the contents from the database that's what i am talking about. it should try a load the contents first. this is to prevent so many sql queries when the page loads. I need that type in order to prevent so many sql queries

Well it looks like clueTip from your accepted answer is the one for you then!
