Tooltips bootstrap.tooltip

Inspired by the excellent jQuery.tipsy plugin written by Jason Frame; Tooltips are an updated version, which don't rely on images, use css3 for animations, and data-attributes for local title storage.

Hover over the links below to see tooltips:

Using bootstrap.tooltip

Trigger the tooltip via javascript:

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

Options

Name type default description
animation boolean true apply a css fade transition to the tooltip
placement string|function 'top' how to position the tooltip - top | bottom | left | right
selector string false If a selector is provided, tooltip objects will be delegated to the specified targets.
title string | function '' default title value if `title` tag isn't present
trigger string 'hover' how tooltip is triggered - hover | focus | manual
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 }

Heads up! Options for individual tooltips can alternatively be specified through the use of data attributes.

Markup

For performance reasons, the Tooltip and Popover data-apis are opt in. If you would like to use them just specify a selector option.
