How to add a twitter bootstrap tooltip to an icon
I've recently used it like this:
<i class="icon-ok-sign" rel="tooltip" title="Key active" id="blah"></i>
Which produces:
You set the positioning of the tooltip and other features(delays etc) by declaring it using js:
$(document).ready(function(){ $("[rel=tooltip]").tooltip({ placement: 'right'});});
As mentioned in comments, you can find other attributes/options here.
You might be forgetting to initialize your tooltips with .tooltip()
.
The .tooltip()
function must be called on every element that you want to have a tooltip listener. This is for performance purposes. You can initialize a bunch at once by calling the function on a parent, like so: $('.tooltip-group').tooltip()
View the initialize function on one element on JSFiddle.
Javascript
$(document).ready(function() { $('#example').tooltip();});
Markup
<h3> Sensors Permissions <i class="icon-info-sign" data-toggle="tooltip" title="first tooltip" id='example'></i></h3>
@nickhar's answer, using data-toggle="tooltip"
tested with Bootstrap 2.3.2 and 3.0 :
<i class="icon-ok-sign" data-toggle="tooltip" title="Key active" id="blah"></i>
