In order to add a tooltip to any HTML element, you need to do the following:
- Include the JavaScript and stylesheet files. The tooltip plug in is implemented in the jqxtooltip.js file.
<link rel="stylesheet"
href="styles/jqx.base.css" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript"
src="jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="jqxcore.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="jqxtooltip.js"></script>
- Add the HTML elements. You need to have two things: the elements that show a tooltip when the cursor is placed on top of them and one or many tooltip elements. In this setup, there is a single tooltip element with
id=’jqxTooltip’
that works for all of the target elements (‘div1
′ and ‘div2
′):
<div id='jqxTooltip'></div>
<div id='div1' style='background: orange;
width: 10px; height: 10px;'></div>
<div id='div2' style='background: blue;
margin-top: 20px; width: 10px; height: 10px;'></div>
- Tooltip activation starts by selecting the
tooltip
element and calling the jqxTooltip
constructor.
$("#jqxTooltip").jqxTooltip();
Then, you need to call the tooltip’s ‘add
’ function and supply two arguments to it – a jQuery selector to the tooltip target element and the tooltip title.
$("#jqxTooltip").jqxTooltip('add', $('#div1'), 'Title1');
$("#jqxTooltip").jqxTooltip('add', $('#div2'), 'Title2');
The default behaviour is that the tooltip is positioned on the bottom/right of the target element.
