Four directions

Tooltip on left Tooltip on top Tooltip on bottom Tooltip on right

<button type="button" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="left" title="Tooltip on left">Tooltip on left</button>
<button type="button" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top" title="Tooltip on top">Tooltip on top</button>
<button type="button" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="bottom" title="Tooltip on bottom">Tooltip on bottom</button>
<button type="button" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="right" title="Tooltip on right">Tooltip on right</button>

Contextual alternatives

Like other components, easily make a tooltip more meaningful to a particular context by adding any of the contextual state classes.

Tooltip with primary Tooltip with success Tooltip with info Tooltip with warning Tooltip with danger

<button type="button" class="primary" data-toggle="tooltip" data-contextual="primary" title="Tooltip with primary">Tooltip with primary</button>
<button type="button" class="success" data-toggle="tooltip" data-contextual="success" title="Tooltip with success">Tooltip with success</button>
<button type="button" class="info" data-toggle="tooltip" data-contextual="info" title="Tooltip with info">Tooltip with info</button>
<button type="button" class="warning" data-toggle="tooltip" data-contextual="warning" title="Tooltip with warning">Tooltip with warning</button>
<button type="button" class="danger" data-toggle="tooltip" data-contextual="danger"  title="Tooltip with danger">Tooltip with danger</button>

Usage

The tooltip plugin generates content and markup on demand, and by default places tooltips after their trigger element.

Trigger the tooltip via JavaScript:

$('#example').tooltip(options)

Options

Options can be passed via data attributes or JavaScript. For data attributes, append the option name to data-, as in data-animation="".

Name	Type	Default	Description
animation	boolean	true	Apply a CSS fade transition to the tooltip
container	string | false	false	Appends the tooltip to a specific element. Example: container: 'body'. This option is particularly useful in that it allows you to position the tooltip in the flow of the document near the triggering element - which will prevent the tooltip from floating away from the triggering element during a window resize.
delay	number | object	0	Delay showing and hiding the tooltip (ms) - does not apply to manual trigger type If a number is supplied, delay is applied to both hide/show Object structure is: delay: { show: 500, hide: 100 }
html	boolean	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.
placement	string | function	'top'	How to position the tooltip - top | bottom | left | right | auto. When "auto" is specified, it will dynamically reorient the tooltip. For example, if placement is "auto left", the tooltip will display to the left when possible, otherwise it will display right.
contextual	string	''	Like other components, easily make a tooltip more meaningful to a particular context by adding any of the contextual state classes. Options: primary | success | info | warning | danger
selector	string	false	If a selector is provided, tooltip objects will be delegated to the specified targets. In practice, this is used to enable dynamic HTML content to have tooltips added.
template	string	'<div class="tooltip" role="tooltip"><div class="arrow"></div><div class="inner"></div></div>'	Base HTML to use when creating the tooltip. The tooltip's title will be injected into the .inner. .arrow will become the tooltip's arrow. The outermost wrapper element should have the .tooltip class.
title	string | function	''	Default title value if title attribute isn't present
trigger	string	'hover focus'	How tooltip is triggered - click | hover | focus | manual. You may pass multiple triggers; separate them with a space.
viewport	string | object	{ selector: 'body', padding: 0 }	Keeps the tooltip within the bounds of this element. Example: viewport: '#viewport' or { selector: '#viewport', padding: 0 }
