Tooltip

Tooltip data from a static text / an element (id) / a function return / ajax get from url

Example

Usage

The tooltip plugin generates content and markup on demand, and by default places tooltips after their trigger element.

Trigger the tooltip via JavaScript:

$('#example').tooltip(options)

Markup

The generated markup of a tooltip is rather simple, though it does require a position (by default, set to top by the plugin).

<div class="tooltip">
 <div class="tooltip-inner">Tooltip!</div>
 <div class="tooltip-arrow"></div>
</div>

Options

Options can be passed via data attributes or JavaScript. For data attributes, append the option name to data-, as in data-animation="".

Name	type	default	description
html	boolean	false	Insert HTML into the tooltip. If false, jQuery's text method will be used to insert content into the DOM. Use text if you're worried about XSS attacks.
placement	string | function	'top'	how to position the tooltip - top | bottom | left | right | auto. When "auto" is specified, it will dynamically reorient the tooltip. For example, if placement is "auto left", the tooltip will display to the left when possible, otherwise it will display right.
title	string | function	''	default title value if title attribute isn't present
trigger	string	'hover focus'	how tooltip is triggered - click | hover | focus | manual. You may pass multiple triggers; separate them with a space.
delay	number | object	0	delay showing and hiding the tooltip (ms) - does not apply to manual trigger type If a number is supplied, delay is applied to both hide/show Object structure is: delay: { show: 500, hide: 100 }
dataType	string	'text'	how to data type the tooltip - text | id | function | url text : Static text title="Static text" id : an element id attribute title="#elementId" data-tooltip-type="id" function : a javascript function into the page title="funcName(x,y)" data-tooltip-type="function" url : get data with ajax from url title="data.html" data-tooltip-type="url"
