tooltip show only on trigger

Posted: Feb 19, 2010

is there any way, so the tooltip doesn't have any events attach to it, so i can have absolute control when to show the tooltip?

I wanted to show the tooltip only after an ajax event, so until then, i don't want the tooltip to keep on showing up automatically.

When you define the tooltip you can specify the events for the trigger element that hide and show the tip.

http://flowplayer.org/tools/tooltip.html#events

Example:



   var triggerElement = $('#tooltipTrigger');

   triggerElement.tooltip({
         events: {
              def: 'customOpenEvent, customCloseEvent'
         }

   })

   $.ajax({
      url: someurl,
      success: function() {
           triggerElement.trigger('customOpenEvent');
      }
   });

hmm looks like when the tooltips are used on form fields, it will ALWAYS show up on hover - otherwise please let me know if there is a way to still control the tooltips even on form fields.

thanks.

I'm having the same problem. It seems like the default trigger (mouseover) needs to be triggered first before the user-defined triggers for form input (focus or click) start to work.
