The Tooltip Plugin

 

The Tooltip plugin is small pop-up box that appears when the user moves the mouse pointer over an element.

How To Create a Tooltip

​

To create a tooltip, add the data-toggle="tooltip" attribute to an element.

 

Use the title attribute to specify the text that should be displayed inside the tooltip:

​

<a href="#" data-toggle="tooltip" title="Hooray!">Hover over me</a>

​

Note: Tooltips must be initialized with jQuery: select the specified element and call the tooltip() method.

 

The following code will enable all tooltips in the document:

​

EXAMPLE:

​

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
  $('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip();
});
</script>

​

​

Positioning Tooltips

​

By default, the tooltip will appear on top of the element.

 

Use the data-placement attribute to set the position of the tooltip on top, bottom, left or the right side of the element:

​

EXAMPLE:

​

<a href="#" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top" title="Hooray!">Hover</a>
<a href="#" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="bottom" title="Hooray!">Hover</a>
<a href="#" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="left" title="Hooray!">Hover</a>
<a href="#" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="right" title="Hooray!">Hover</a>
