jquery tooltip doesn't display content on hover

Question

I am trying to display table as a tooltip content.

However the table doesn't seem to show.

Here's the HTML:

<td>
    <a href="javascript:void(0);" data-toggle="tooltip1" class="red-tooltip" title="">5 Users</a>
</td>

The table:

<table id="tooltipContent" border="4" bordercolor="black" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="15px" style="width: 800px; display: none;">
     <tr><td>ravi_shrestha([email protected])</td></tr>
     <tr><td>ravi_shrestha([email protected])</td></tr>
     <tr><td>ravi_shrestha([email protected])</td></tr>
</table>

Tooltip initialization:

"fnDrawCallback": function( settings ) {
    $('[data-toggle="tooltip1"]').tooltip({
         content: $('#tooltipContent').html()
    });                
 },

Putting something in title attribute itself is working though.

Try using a callback function, properly add the js and css dependencies

$('[data-toggle="tooltip1"]').tooltip({
         content: function() { return $('#tooltipContent').html();}
});

$('[data-toggle="tooltip1"]').tooltip({
  content: function() {
    return $('#tooltipContent').html();
  }
});

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.min.js" integrity="sha256-VazP97ZCwtekAsvgPBSUwPFKdrwD3unUfSGVYrahUqU=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
<td>
  <a href="javascript:void(0);" data-toggle="tooltip1" class="red-tooltip" title="">5 Users</a>
</td>

<table id="tooltipContent" border="4" bordercolor="black" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="15px" style="width: 800px; display: none;">
  <tr>
    <td>ravi_shrestha([email protected])</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>ravi_shrestha([email protected])</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>ravi_shrestha([email protected])</td>
  </tr>
</table>

in the snippet is working, have you got any console errors?

no.. console is empty.. it is working in the snippet though.. surprising..

madalinivascu Over a year ago

that means the code is ether not called or you have some conflict in your code

Do we have to inject jquery-ui.css and jquery-ui.js too?
