I have a div tag like this:
<div>
<label>Name</label>
<input type="text"/>
</div>
How can I displaying a tooltip on :hover
of the div, preferably with a fade in/out effect.
For the basic tooltip, you want:
<div title="This is my tooltip">
like:
.visible { height: 3em; width: 10em; background: yellow; }
For a fancier javascript version, you can look into:
https://jqueryhouse.com/best-jquery-tooltip-plugins/
The above link gives you 25 options for tooltips.
It can be done with CSS only, no javascript at all
running demo
[data-tooltip]:before { /* needed - do not touch */ content: attr(data-tooltip); position: absolute; opacity: 0; /* customizable */ transition: all 0.15s ease; padding: 10px; color: #333; border-radius: 10px; box-shadow: 2px 2px 1px silver; } [data-tooltip]:hover:before { /* needed - do not touch */ opacity: 1; /* customizable */ background: yellow; margin-top: -50px; margin-left: 20px; } [data-tooltip]:not([data-tooltip-persistent]):before { pointer-events: none; } /* FOR TEST PURPOSES ONLY */ div { border: 1px solid silver; background: #ddd; margin: 20px; padding: 10px; }
Apply a custom HTML attribute, eg. data-tooltip="bla bla" to your object (div or whatever):
In the demo I've defined another rule to specify if the tooltip must disappear when hovering over it but outside of the parent, with another custom attribute, data-tooltip-persistent
, and a simple rule:
[data-tooltip]:not([data-tooltip-persistent]):before {
pointer-events: none;
}
Note 1: The browser coverage for this is very wide, but consider using a javascript fallback (if needed) for old IE.
Note 2: an enhancement might be adding a bit of javascript to calculate the mouse position and add it to the pseudo elements, by changing a class applied to it.
<br>
and others like \n
or \r
as these just appear as plain text in the rest of the string. Update: I just noticed setting a max-width makes it automatically adjust its content and put line breaks. Really neat! (However, if someone knows an answer, I'd still appreciate that)
You don't need JavaScript for this at all; just set the title
attribute:
<div title="Hello, World!">
<label>Name</label>
<input type="text"/>
</div>
Note that the visual presentation of the tooltip is browser/OS dependent, so it might fade in and it might not. However, this is the semantic way to do tooltips, and it will work correctly with accessibility software like screen readers.
Demo in Stack Snippets
title
attribute just doesn't cut it.
title
works. There are other answers that are more complex if you need something more complex. I'm honestly not sure what point you are trying to make here.
Here's a pure CSS 3 implementation (with optional JS)
The only thing you have to do is set an attribute on any div called "data-tooltip" and that text will be displayed next to it when you hover over it.
I've included some optional JavaScript that will cause the tooltip to be displayed near the cursor. If you don't need this feature, you can safely ignore the JavaScript portion of this fiddle.
If you don't want the fade-in on the hover state, just remove the transition properties.
It's styled like the title
property tooltip. Here's the JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/toe0hcyn/1/
HTML Example:
<div data-tooltip="your tooltip message"></div>
CSS:
*[data-tooltip] {
position: relative;
}
*[data-tooltip]::after {
content: attr(data-tooltip);
position: absolute;
top: -20px;
right: -20px;
width: 150px;
pointer-events: none;
opacity: 0;
-webkit-transition: opacity .15s ease-in-out;
-moz-transition: opacity .15s ease-in-out;
-ms-transition: opacity .15s ease-in-out;
-o-transition: opacity .15s ease-in-out;
transition: opacity .15s ease-in-out;
display: block;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 16px;
background: #fefdcd;
padding: 2px 2px;
border: 1px solid #c0c0c0;
box-shadow: 2px 4px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
}
*[data-tooltip]:hover::after {
opacity: 1;
}
Optional JavaScript for mouse position-based tooltip location change:
var style = document.createElement('style');
document.head.appendChild(style);
var matchingElements = [];
var allElements = document.getElementsByTagName('*');
for (var i = 0, n = allElements.length; i < n; i++) {
var attr = allElements[i].getAttribute('data-tooltip');
if (attr) {
allElements[i].addEventListener('mouseover', hoverEvent);
}
}
function hoverEvent(event) {
event.preventDefault();
x = event.x - this.offsetLeft;
y = event.y - this.offsetTop;
// Make it hang below the cursor a bit.
y += 10;
style.innerHTML = '*[data-tooltip]::after { left: ' + x + 'px; top: ' + y + 'px }'
}
Here's a nice jQuery Tooltip:
To implement this, just follow these steps:
Add this code in your
tags: On the HTML elements that you want to have the tooltip, just add a title attribute to it. Whatever text is in the title attribute will be in the tooltip.Note: When JavaScript is disabled, it will fallback to the default browser/operating system tooltip.
I did something that should be able to be adapted to a div as well.
HTML
<td>
<%# (Eval("Name").ToString().Length > 65) ? Eval("Name").ToString().Substring(0, 60) + "..." : Eval("Name")%>
<span class="showonhover">
<a href="#"><%# (Eval("Name").ToString().Length > 65) ? "More" : "" %></a>
<span class="hovertext">
<%# Eval("Name") %>
</span>
</span>
</td>
CSS
.showonhover .hovertext { display: none;}
.showonhover:hover .hovertext {display: inline;}
a.viewdescription {color:#999;}
a.viewdescription:hover {background-color:#999; color: White;}
.hovertext {position:absolute;z-index:1000;border:1px solid #ffd971;background-color:#fffdce;padding:11px;width:150px;font-size: 0.75em;}
For a more in-depth discussion, see my post:
A simple Formatted ToolTip text on hover
Okay, here's all of your bounty requirements met:
No jQuery
Instant appearing
No dissapearing until the mouse leaves the area
Fade in/out effect incorporated
And lastly.. simple solution
Here's a demo and link to my code (JSFiddle)
Here are the features that I've incorporated into this purely JS, CSS and HTML5 fiddle:
You can set the speed of the fade.
You can set the text of the tooltip with a simple variable.
HTML:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="a">Hover over this div to see a cool tool tip!</div>
</div>
CSS:
#a{
background-color:yellow;
padding:10px;
border:2px solid red;
}
.tooltip{
background:black;
color:white;
padding:5px;
box-shadow:0 0 10px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);
border-radius:10px;
opacity:0;
}
JavaScript:
var div = document.getElementById('wrapper');
var a = document.getElementById("a");
var fadeSpeed = 25; // a value between 1 and 1000 where 1000 will take 10
// seconds to fade in and out and 1 will take 0.01 sec.
var tipMessage = "The content of the tooltip...";
var showTip = function(){
var tip = document.createElement("span");
tip.className = "tooltip";
tip.id = "tip";
tip.innerHTML = tipMessage;
div.appendChild(tip);
tip.style.opacity="0"; // to start with...
var intId = setInterval(function(){
newOpacity = parseFloat(tip.style.opacity)+0.1;
tip.style.opacity = newOpacity.toString();
if(tip.style.opacity == "1"){
clearInterval(intId);
}
}, fadeSpeed);
};
var hideTip = function(){
var tip = document.getElementById("tip");
var intId = setInterval(function(){
newOpacity = parseFloat(tip.style.opacity)-0.1;
tip.style.opacity = newOpacity.toString();
if(tip.style.opacity == "0"){
clearInterval(intId);
tip.remove();
}
}, fadeSpeed);
tip.remove();
};
a.addEventListener("mouseover", showTip, false);
a.addEventListener("mouseout", hideTip, false);
You can create custom CSS tooltips using a data attribute, pseudo elements and content: attr()
eg.
http://jsfiddle.net/clintioo/gLeydk0k/11/
<div data-tooltip="This is my tooltip">
<label>Name</label>
<input type="text" />
</div>
.
div:hover:before {
content: attr(data-tooltip);
position: absolute;
padding: 5px 10px;
margin: -3px 0 0 180px;
background: orange;
color: white;
border-radius: 3px;
}
div:hover:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
margin: 6px 0 0 3px;
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-top: 5px solid transparent;
border-right: 10px solid orange;
border-bottom: 5px solid transparent;
}
input[type="text"] {
width: 125px;
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
I have developed three type fade effects :
/* setup tooltips */ .tooltip { position: relative; } .tooltip:before, .tooltip:after { display: block; opacity: 0; pointer-events: none; position: absolute; } .tooltip:after { border-right: 6px solid transparent; border-bottom: 6px solid rgba(0,0,0,.75); border-left: 6px solid transparent; content: ''; height: 0; top: 20px; left: 20px; width: 0; } .tooltip:before { background: rgba(0,0,0,.75); border-radius: 2px; color: #fff; content: attr(data-title); font-size: 14px; padding: 6px 10px; top: 26px; white-space: nowrap; } /* the animations */ /* fade */ .tooltip.fade:after, .tooltip.fade:before { transform: translate3d(0,-10px,0); transition: all .15s ease-in-out; } .tooltip.fade:hover:after, .tooltip.fade:hover:before { opacity: 1; transform: translate3d(0,0,0); } /* expand */ .tooltip.expand:before { transform: scale3d(.2,.2,1); transition: all .2s ease-in-out; } .tooltip.expand:after { transform: translate3d(0,6px,0); transition: all .1s ease-in-out; } .tooltip.expand:hover:before, .tooltip.expand:hover:after { opacity: 1; transform: scale3d(1,1,1); } .tooltip.expand:hover:after { transition: all .2s .1s ease-in-out; } /* swing */ .tooltip.swing:before, .tooltip.swing:after { transform: translate3d(0,30px,0) rotate3d(0,0,1,60deg); transform-origin: 0 0; transition: transform .15s ease-in-out, opacity .2s; } .tooltip.swing:after { transform: translate3d(0,60px,0); transition: transform .15s ease-in-out, opacity .2s; } .tooltip.swing:hover:before, .tooltip.swing:hover:after { opacity: 1; transform: translate3d(0,0,0) rotate3d(1,1,1,0deg); } /* basic styling: has nothing to do with tooltips: */ h1 { padding-left: 50px; } ul { margin-bottom: 40px; } li { cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; padding: 0 10px; }
You can use title. it'll work for just about everything
<div title="Great for making new friends through cooperation.">
<input script=JavaScript type=button title="Click for a compliment" onclick="window.alert('Your hair reminds me of a sunset across a prairie')" value="making you happy">
<table title="Great job working for those who understand the way i feel">
just think of any tag that can be visible to html window and insert a title="whatever tooltip you'd like"
inside it's tag and you got yourself a tooltip.
You can toggle a child div during onmouseover
and onmouseout
like this:
function Tooltip(el, text) {
el.onmouseover = function() {
el.innerHTML += '<div class="tooltip">' + text + '</div>'
}
el.onmouseout = function() {
el.removeChild(el.querySelector(".tooltip"))
}
}
//Sample Usage
Tooltip(document.getElementById("mydiv"),"hello im a tip div")
Example in Stack Snippets & jsFiddle
function Tooltip(el, text) { el.onmouseover = function() { el.innerHTML += '
The simplest way would be to set position: relative
on the containing element and position: absolute
on the tooltip element inside the container to make it float relative to the parent (containing element). For example:
<div style="background: yellow;">
<div style="display: inline-block; position: relative; background: pink;">
<label>Name</label>
<input type="text" />
<div style="background: #e5e5e5; position: absolute; top: -10px; left: 0; right: 0;">
Tooltip text
</div>
</div>
</div>
Try this. You can do it with only css and I have only added data-title
attribute for tooltip.
.tooltip{ position:relative; display: inline-block; } .tooltip[data-title]:hover:after { content: attr(data-title); padding: 4px 8px; color: #fff; position: absolute; left: 0; top: 110%; white-space: nowrap; border-radius: 5px; background:#000; }
Here's a simple tooltip implementation that keeps into account the position of your mouse as well as the height and width of your window :
function showTooltip(e) { var tooltip = e.target.classList.contains("tooltip") ? e.target : e.target.querySelector(":scope .tooltip"); tooltip.style.left = (e.pageX + tooltip.clientWidth + 10 < document.body.clientWidth) ? (e.pageX + 10 + "px") : (document.body.clientWidth + 5 - tooltip.clientWidth + "px"); tooltip.style.top = (e.pageY + tooltip.clientHeight + 10 < document.body.clientHeight) ? (e.pageY + 10 + "px") : (document.body.clientHeight + 5 - tooltip.clientHeight + "px"); } var tooltips = document.querySelectorAll('.couponcode'); for(var i = 0; i < tooltips.length; i++) { tooltips[i].addEventListener('mousemove', showTooltip); } .couponcode { color: red; cursor: pointer; } .couponcode:hover .tooltip { display: block; } .tooltip { position: absolute; white-space: nowrap; display: none; background: #ffffcc; border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px; z-index: 1000; color: black; } Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscingThis is a tooltip elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>jQuery UI tooltip</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.0/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">

$(function() {
$("#tooltip").tooltip();
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="tooltip" title="I am tooltip">mouse over me</div>
</body>
</html>
You can also customise tooltip style. Please refer this link: http://jqueryui.com/tooltip/#custom-style
A CSS3-only solution could be:
CSS3:
div[id^="tooltip"]:after {content: attr(data-title); background: #e5e5e5; position: absolute; top: -10px; left: 0; right: 0; z-index: 1000;}
HTML5:
<div style="background: yellow;">
<div id="tooltip-1" data-title="Tooltip Text" style="display: inline-block; position: relative; background: pink;">
<label>Name</label>
<input type="text" />
</div>
</div>
You could then create a tooltip-2
div the same way... you can of course also use the title
attribute instead of data
attribute.
[id^=tooltip]
selector when you could have just used a class and .tooltip
?
div[data-title])
without having to add extra markup.
you can do it with simple css... jsfiddle
here you can see the example
below css code for tooltip
[data-tooltip] {
position: relative;
z-index: 2;
cursor: pointer;
}
/* Hide the tooltip content by default */
[data-tooltip]:before,
[data-tooltip]:after {
visibility: hidden;
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=0)";
filter: progid: DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=0);
opacity: 0;
pointer-events: none;
}
/* Position tooltip above the element */
[data-tooltip]:before {
position: absolute;
bottom: 150%;
left: 50%;
margin-bottom: 5px;
margin-left: -80px;
padding: 7px;
width: 160px;
-webkit-border-radius: 3px;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
border-radius: 3px;
background-color: #000;
background-color: hsla(0, 0%, 20%, 0.9);
color: #fff;
content: attr(data-tooltip);
text-align: center;
font-size: 14px;
line-height: 1.2;
}
/* Triangle hack to make tooltip look like a speech bubble */
[data-tooltip]:after {
position: absolute;
bottom: 150%;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -5px;
width: 0;
border-top: 5px solid #000;
border-top: 5px solid hsla(0, 0%, 20%, 0.9);
border-right: 5px solid transparent;
border-left: 5px solid transparent;
content: " ";
font-size: 0;
line-height: 0;
}
/* Show tooltip content on hover */
[data-tooltip]:hover:before,
[data-tooltip]:hover:after {
visibility: visible;
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=100)";
filter: progid: DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=100);
opacity: 1;
}
you can also use this as tooltip...It works same but you have to write extra tag thats it..
<abbr title="THis is tooltip"></abbr>
Without using any API You can do something like this too by using pure CSS and Jquery Demo
HTML
<div class="pointer_tooltip">
Click & Drag to draw the area
</div>
CSS
.pointer_tooltip{
width : auto;
height : auto;
padding : 10px;
border-radius : 5px;
background-color : #fff;
position: absolute;
}
Jquery
$(document).mousemove(function( event ) {
var pageCoords = "( " + event.pageX + ", " + event.pageY + " )";
//set the actuall width
$('.pointer_tooltip').width($('.pointer_tooltip').width());
var position_top = event.pageY+18;
var position_left = event.pageX-60;
var width=$('body').width()-$('.pointer_tooltip').width();
//check if left not minus
if(position_left<0){
position_left=10;
}else if(position_left > width){
position_left=width-10;
}
$('.pointer_tooltip').css('top',position_top+'px');
$('.pointer_tooltip').css('left',position_left+'px');
});
You can make tooltip using pure CSS.Try this one.Hope it should help you to solve your problem.

There are lots of answers to this question but still may be it will help someone. It is for all left, right, top, bottom positions.
Here is the css:
.m-tb-5 {
margin-top: 2px;
margin-bottom: 2px;
}
[data-tooltip] {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
cursor: help;
padding: 3px;
}
/* Tooltip styling */
[data-tooltip]:before {
content: attr(data-tooltip);
display: none;
position: absolute;
background: #000;
color: #fff;
padding: 3px 6px;
font-size: 10px;
line-height: 1.4;
min-width: 100px;
text-align: center;
border-radius: 4px;
}
/* Dynamic horizontal centering */
[data-tooltip-position="top"]:before,
[data-tooltip-position="bottom"]:before {
left: 50%;
-ms-transform: translateX(-50%);
-moz-transform: translateX(-50%);
-webkit-transform: translateX(-50%);
transform: translateX(-50%);
}
/* Dynamic vertical centering */
[data-tooltip-position="right"]:before,
[data-tooltip-position="left"]:before {
top: 50%;
-ms-transform: translateY(-50%);

margin-left: 6px;
}
[data-tooltip-position="bottom"]:before {

margin-top: 6px;
}
[data-tooltip-position="left"]:before {

margin-right: 6px;
}
/* Tooltip arrow styling/placement */
[data-tooltip]:after {
content: '';
display: none;
position: absolute;
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-color: transparent;
border-style: solid;
}
/* Dynamic horizontal centering for the tooltip */
[data-tooltip-position="top"]:after,
[data-tooltip-position="bottom"]:after {
left: 50%;
margin-left: -6px;
}
/* Dynamic vertical centering for the tooltip */
[data-tooltip-position="right"]:after,
[data-tooltip-position="left"]:after {
top: 50%;
margin-top: -6px;
}
[data-tooltip-position="top"]:after {
bottom: 100%;
border-width: 6px 6px 0;
border-top-color: #000;
}
[data-tooltip-position="right"]:after {
left: 100%;
border-width: 6px 6px 6px 0;
border-right-color: #000;
}
[data-tooltip-position="left"]:after {
right: 100%;
border-width: 6px 0 6px 6px;
border-left-color: #000;
}
/* Show the tooltip when hovering */
[data-tooltip]:hover:before,
[data-tooltip]:hover:after {
display: block;
z-index: 50;
}
And the HTML tag can be like this:
<p data-tooltip-position="right" data-tooltip="Some tooltip text here" title="">Text Here</p>
<p data-tooltip-position="left" data-tooltip="Some tooltip text here" title="">Text Here</p>
<p data-tooltip-position="top" data-tooltip="Some tooltip text here" title="">Text Here</p>
<p data-tooltip-position="bottom" data-tooltip="Some tooltip text here" title="">Text Here</p>
You can try bootstrap tooltips.
$(function () {
$('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip()
})

And my version
.tooltip{
display: inline;
position: relative; /** very important set to relative*/
}
.tooltip:hover:after{
background: #333;
background: rgba(0,0,0,.8);
border-radius: 5px;
bottom: 26px;
color: #fff;
content: attr(title); /**extract the content from the title */
left: 20%;
padding: 5px 15px;
position: absolute;
z-index: 98;
width: 220px;
}
.tooltip:hover:before{
border: solid;
border-color: #333 transparent;
border-width: 6px 6px 0 6px;
bottom: 20px;
content: "";
left: 50%;
position: absolute;
z-index: 99;
}
Then the HTML
<div title="This is some information for our tooltip." class="tooltip">bar </div>
I created a kind of formula for it. First this is the html
<div class="tooltip-container">
<button class="tooltip-tarjet">
My Button
</button>
<div class="tooltip-element">
This is my tooltip content right here...
</div>
</div>
Now the css for it
.tooltip-container {
/* it contains the tooltip message and the one firing the tooltip
* it has position relative since it allows for a better responsive positioning
* of the tooltip-element */
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
flex-direction: row;
}
.tooltip-tarjet:hover + .tooltip-element {
/* this selector rule matches the tooltip-element right after
* tooltip-tarjet at a hover action
* */
display: inline-block;
position: absolute;
background-color: #869096;
color: white;
opacity: 1;
transition: all 1s;
}
.tooltip-element {
/* here goes the tooltip-element styles and positioning, now your
* tooltip element will always remain to your desired positionno matter
* the screen size at hand
* */
display: none;
opacity: 0;
text-align: center;
padding: 7px;
z-index: 10;
width: 200px;
left: -60px;
bottom: 48px;
border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
font-size: 12px;
