How to enable Bootstrap tooltip on disabled button ?
Button or link elements with disabled class and attribute is not interactive. It means users cannot focus, hover, or click them to trigger a tooltip (or popover) or any functions. Use the following approaches to enable a tooltip on disabled-buttons.
- Using jQuery
- Using HTML
- Using CSS
Initializing tooltip:
- By default tooltips is initialized by selecting the specified element and call the tooltip() method using jQuery. Then add a title attribute to that specified element which contains what text to be displayed inside tooltip.
- To position the tooltip data-placement attribute must be added to that specified element with top/bottom/right/left as its values.
// Initializing the tooltip
$(document).ready(function() {
$('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip();
}); Note: By default data-toggle=”tooltip” will enable tooltip of disabled button. Approach:
- Initialize tooltips in bootstrap disabled buttons with the specified element and call the tooltip() method.
- To trigger tooltip on disabled button by wrapping them in <span> span tag and <div> div tag and then adding ‘data-toggle’,’data-placement’ and ‘title’ attributes to it along with its values respectively.
Example: This example illustrates triggering tooltip by wrapping disabled button inside div and span tag.
