I have a piece of code to generate a tootip using bootstrap.
var msg ="Oops! This is a test message";
$('#addItInfo').attr('data-original-title',msg);
$('#addItInfo').tooltip('show');
setTimeout( function(){
$('#addItInfo').tooltip('hide');
$('#addItInfo').removeAttr('title');
$('#addItInfo').removeAttr('data-original-title');
} , 2500 ); //Wait 2,5 seconds
This code works good, but imagine that instead of a simply message I want tho display a table with some data. I've try to create a <table>
element inside the var msg
like this:
var msg ="<table><tr><td>January</td><td>$100</td></tr><tr><td>February</td><td>$50</td></tr></table>";
I was expecting to see a table inside the tootip but what I got was the string <table><tr><td>January</td><td>$100</td></tr><tr><td>February</td><td>$50</td></tr></table>
.
Here in this example I am using the same idea but without bootstrap. It works, with some minors issues, that I can solve later.
For now my question is how to allow bootstrap to display any HTML element inside the tooltip? I took a look at the documentation, but I found nothing related.
You are missing data-html="true"
on the trigger element. Its is documented.
Html option - defaults to false. Insert HTML into the tooltip. If false, jQuery's text method will be used to insert content into the DOM. Use text if you're worried about XSS attacks.
