A Tooltip is used to provide interactive textual hints to the user about the element when the mouse pointer moves over. For Example, in the below image GeeksForGeeks is a button and when the user mouse moves over it, the additional information “A computer Science Portal” popup will display. We are going to learn how to create a tooltip and how to position the tooltip at different positions.
Step-by-step Guide to Implement Tooltip:
Step 1: Include all the bootstrap libraries in the head section of your code.
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@4.6.0/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css”>
<script src=”https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.slim.js”></script>
<script src=”https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@4.6.0/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js”> </script>
<script src=”https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@4.6.0/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js”> </script>
Step 2: To implement the tooltip in the button control of HTML, apply data-toggle property as shown below:
<button type="button" data-toggle="tooltip"
data-placement="bottom" title="title of the button">
Hover over me
</button>
Step 3: To implement the tooltip in bootstrap, just follow the syntax in the script part of the code.
$(function(){
$('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip();
})
Example 1: The following demonstrates the tooltip feature of bootstrap. This shows “top” and “bottom” tooltip.
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href=
</script>
<script src=
</script>
<script src=
</script>
<script>
$(function() {
$('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip();
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h2 style="color: green">GeeksforGeeks</h2>
<p><b>Tooltip tutorial</b></p>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary"
data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"
title="This is top tooltip">
Hover over me to see top tooltip
</button>
<br /><br />
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary"
data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="bottom"
title="This is bottom Tooltip">
Hover over me to see bottom tooltip
</button>
</body>
</html>
|
Output:
Top Bottom tooltip
Example 2: Change the above code with the snippet given above for the bottom tooltip. You can also change the data-placement as left or right to place the tooltip place left and right respectively.
