 I have a custom form designed and for a couple fields I want to put a tool tip where if you move the cursor over the field it shows a little pop up box with text.  Is this possible in RTC in the web client?

The 'extra details' hover uses the editor presentation for the work item type to determine which attributes to show. This can be 
configured in the process specification section: Configuration Data / Work Items / Editor Presentations. 
If there is an specific attribute that it is not working, please add a comment at the following Enhancement on jazz.net to raise this 
question: Enhancement 154620 -

There is a good documentation about the HOver features available at
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/WebRichHovers2010 (links) and

Hi Sean, in the Editor Presentation, when you edit the presentation of an attribute the "Description" acts as a tool tip text and yes it should work for both web and eclipse client.
To add a little extra, if you want the tool tip text to be multiline then you may want to look at my answer on this post.
