Tooltipster - The j. Query Tooltip Plugin. Styling your tooltips with a custom look ⇑Tooltipster makes it very easy to go from one of the packaged themes and customize a few properties of your choice. To do so, we recommend that you create a so- called "secondary theme" which will override some properties of a packaged theme. Create a new css file and include it in your page. Inside the file, declare your customized rules like this.
This is how you would create a custom secondary theme on top of tooltipster- noir: */. For your secondary theme to be applied, provide an array of themes instead of just one. You may even provide more than two themes if you create a secondary theme to your secondary theme!
In other words, this allows sub- themes, sub- sub- themes, etc. Changing the size of the arrow might be the only challenging customization but it's doable! We encourage you to see what we have done in the different themes and work from there. Updating a tooltip's content ⇑It's easy as pie to update a tooltip's content - whether it's open or closed. Depending on your selector, you can update multiple tooltips at once or just one.
My new content'). My new content'). Tooltipster plays a subtle animation when the content changes.

This animation may be changed or disabled through the update. Animation option. Using AJAX to generate your tooltip content ⇑Tooltipster gives you the ability to fire a custom function when a tooltip is initialized (function. Init), but also every time the tooltip is about to open (function. Before), when it has opened (function.
Ready) or after it has closed (function. After). One great use for this is to grab dynamic content for your tooltips via AJAX. In this example we will use function. Before to load data the first time the tooltip is opened. Until the data has been loaded, we will display a "Loading.." notification.
Loading..'. // 'instance' is basically the tooltip. More details in the "Object- oriented Tooltipster" section. Before: function(instance, helper) {.
Ajax, not every time the tooltip opens. In addition to this, you may provide a function as the callback argument of the open/close methods. If the tooltip is already in the state you are asking for (open & stable/closed), the callback is executed immediately. Please note that if the open/close action is somehow cancelled before it has completed its animation, the callback function will never be called. The tooltip is now fully shown. Its content is: ' + instance. The tooltip is now fully hidden').
Let's hover a little on how the side option works. You have two options: provide either a string, like side: 'top', or an array of strings, like side: ['top', 'bottom'] for example.
What happens when I provide a string, like 'top' ? This tells Tooltipster that you'd prefer the tooltip to be above the tooltipped element, but allows the tooltip to be positioned differently if need be. This means that if there is not enough space on top for your tooltip, the other sides may be used a fallbacks. Here is the order of fallbacks, depending on what side you chose. When should I provide an array instead ? There are two reasons to do so.
Firstly, if you are not happy with the four default orders of sides fallbacks. For example you might want: side: ['top', 'left', 'bottom', 'right']. Secondly if you want to disable totally one or more sides.
For example, with ['top', 'right', 'left'], the tooltip will never be positioned on the bottom. With ['right'], the tooltip will always be on the right, even if it has to overflow the document. Opening and closing a tooltip: the built- in triggers ⇑Predefined behaviors. The easiest way to set when a tooltip should open or close is to set the trigger option to one of the two predefined values: 'hover' or 'click'. You can see how they perform with our demos at the top of this page. Note that these two behaviors also apply to their touch- gesture equivalents.
If you feel that you need a different behavior or more flexibility, set the trigger option to 'custom' and read on. Creating a customized behavior. There are many actions that may cause a tooltip to open or close, should we want to. These action are called "open triggers" and "close triggers". Tooltipster supports a number of them out of the box, the list lies below.
Plugins may provide support for additional triggers. Open triggersclick When the origin is clicked by a mouse. When a mouse comes over the origin. The delay option is taken into account as the delay before opening. When the origin is pressed on a touch screen. The delay. Touch option is taken into account as the delay before opening.
When the origin is tapped (ie pressed and then released) on a touch screen. Close triggersclick When a mouse click happens anywhere in the page.
However, if the interactive option is set to true, a click happening inside the tooltip will not close it. When the mouse goes away from the origin.
The delay option is taken into account as the delay before closing. Click When the origin is clicked by a mouse. This mimics a behavior that browsers usually have and is meant to be used with the mouseenter open trigger. When scrolling happens in the window or in a scrollable area which is a parent of the origin. When the finger taps (ie presses and releases) anywhere in the touch screen. When the finger is removed from the touch screen or if the interaction was stopped by the device.
The delay. Touch option is taken into account as the delay before closing. Examples. Once that the trigger option is set to 'custom', all open and close triggers are disabled by default. Use the trigger. Open and trigger. Close options to reactivate the triggers of your choice, as shown below. Let's assume that you'd like a tooltip to open upon mouse hovering, but close only when either a mouse click or scrolling happens.
Write this. $('#example'). Open: {. mouseenter: true. Close: {. click: true. This works well on desktops but not on touch devices, because we have not enabled any touch triggers. Let's fix this by enabling the touchstart and tap triggers as well. Open: {. mouseenter: true.
Close: {. click: true. В« Ok but wait.. then what do the predefined 'hover' and 'click' behaviors do exactly? В»Good question. Setting trigger: 'hover' or trigger: 'click' is nothing but a shorthand. Having trigger: 'hover' is actually the same as having. Open: {. mouseenter: true. Close: {. mouseleave: true. Click: true. touchleave: true.
And having trigger: 'click' is the same as having. Open: {. click: true. Close: {. click: true.
Opening and closing a tooltip: the method calls. In parallel to (or instead of) using the built- in triggers, you may want to open/close a tooltip yourself on a specific occasion.
To achieve this, Tooltipster has the open and close methods. Both of them may receive an optional callback argument, which represents a function you'd like to be called when the tooltip is done animating. Here's an example of how you could launch a specific tooltip on page load and close it when any key on your keyboard is pressed. My tooltip content"> Example< /span>. Achieving custom positioning ⇑This is for advanced users who are comfortable with Javascript and CSS. When the tooltip needs to be positioned or repositioned, Tooltipster runs all kinds of tests to find the best option.
But before the computed position is applied, you have the option to edit it using the function. Position option. When you provide custom coordinates for the tooltip and its arrow, they have to be relative to the top and left edges of the viewport. This makes custom positioning in Tooltipster both very fast and very simple. Doing your calculations, element. Bounding. Client. Rect will become your new best friend, so make sure you check it out. Your function. Position callback is called with three parameters.
The first two ones are instance and a helper, as usual. The third argument is an object with the position properties proposed by Tooltipster, that you may edit. You must return the edited third argument for the changes to get applied. Tooltipster adapted the size of the tooltip for it to fit in. Clone is a clone of the tooltip which exists in the DOM at the time the callback is called. It will help you avoid putting the tooltip accidentally off screen, for example. This object is in this form.
Lineage: boolean. Image: HTMLobject || null.
Offset: {. // this is the distance between the bottom side of the origin and the top of the viewport. The third argument is in the form. Tooltipster has judged best for your tooltip, according to your requirements. It is either the natural size of the tooltip, or a size that has been set by Tooltipster to fit best on screen according to your requirements.
Tooltipster thinks the tooltip should ideally be centered on, and the arrow aiming at. It is given as the distance from the relevant edge of the viewport (left edge if the side is "top" or "bottom", top edge if the side is "left" or "right"). The target is usually the middle of the origin, but can be somewhere else when the origin is actually a portion of text split in several lines.
Editing this value will change the location the arrow is aiming at but will not change the position of the tooltip itself (use coord for that). You may look at the source code of this documentation to see how the custom positioning demo at the top of this page was made. Here is the simplest example, let's just move the tooltip by 1.
Position: function(instance, helper, position){. Alternative ways of setting HTML content ⇑Instead of using the data- tooltip- content attribute, you may: a) Provide HTML content in the options.
Cloning: false. b) Set HTML content with a method call. Tooltipster's content method allows you to edit the content of the tooltip at any time with greater flexibility. If you had this HTML for example. This div has a tooltip with HTML when you hover over it! This is the content of my tooltip!< /strong>. You could do this upon initialization.
Init: function(instance, helper){. Deprecated: writing encoded HTML in the title attribute.
