Bootstrap's tooltip doesn't disappear after button click & mouseleave

Question

I have a problem with bootstrap's tooltip : When I click on a button, tooltip stays even if is the cursor is outside of the button. I have looked into the manual - Bootstrap's tooltip and if I'm clicking on the buttons, I see the same problem. Is there any solution to fix this? Just tried in latest FF, IE.

Answer 1

This is because trigger is not set. The default value for trigger is 'hover focus', thus the tooltip stay visible after a button is clicked, until another button is clicked, because the button is focused.

So all you have to do is to define trigger as 'hover' only. Below the same example you have linked to without persisting tooltips after a button is clicked :

$('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip({
    trigger : 'hover'
})  

the doc example in a fiddle -> http://jsfiddle.net/vdzvvg6o/

I know over a year old, but I couldn't get this to work with any examples here. I've had to use the following:

$('[rel="tooltip"]').on('click', function () {
    $(this).tooltip('hide')
})

This also shows the tooltip again upon hover.

Hi i have little solution for this issue. When other solutions doesn't work just try this one:

$('body').tooltip({
        selector: '[data-toggle="tooltip"], [title]:not([data-toggle="popover"])',
        trigger: 'hover',
        container: 'body'
    }).on('click mousedown mouseup', '[data-toggle="tooltip"], [title]:not([data-toggle="popover"])', function () {
        $('[data-toggle="tooltip"], [title]:not([data-toggle="popover"])').tooltip('destroy');
    });

This is solution for drag and drop too. So i hope this help someone :)

With Bootstrap 5

Tooltips are now initialized in plain/vanilla Javascript. Because I only saw JQuery options here, let me post the VERY SIMPLE and straightforward way in plain JS :

//Initialize bootstrap tooltips
var tooltipTriggerList = [].slice.call(document.querySelectorAll('[data-bs-toggle="tooltip"]'));
var tooltipList = tooltipTriggerList.map( function(tooltipTriggerEl) {
  return new bootstrap.Tooltip(tooltipTriggerEl, {
  trigger : 'hover'
  });
});

You only need to add the "{trigger : 'hover'}" object as an option of bootstrap.Tooltip(element, options).

Answer 5

In my case the issue was reproduced only in Internet Explorer: no matter which element(input, div etc...) has tooltip- if clicked- tooltip remains shown.

found some solutions on web that recommends .hide() that tooltip on elements Click event- but it is bad idea- hovering back to the same element - keeps it hidden... in my case

$('.myToolTippedElement').on('click', function () {
    $(this).blur()
})

made all the magic!!!- where .myToolTippedElement is the element that have a tooltip ofCourse...

Answer 6

This is also achievable in the HTML by adding the following:

 data-trigger="hover"

 <button type="button" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top" data-trigger="hover" title="To re-enable scanning, click here">Text</button>

Answer 7

in angular 7 with bootstrap 4 and jquery I found this and it works fine. I used dispose because it destroys does not hide the tooltip.

  ngAfterViewChecked() {
    $('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip({
      trigger: 'hover'
    });
    $('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').on('mouseleave', function () {
      $(this).tooltip('dispose');
    });
    $('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').on('click', function () {
      $(this).tooltip('dispose');
    });
   }

Answer 8

Working Solution

$(document).on("click",function()
    {
    setTimeout(function()
    {

  $('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip('hide');

},500);    // Hides tooltip in 500 milliseconds
    });

Answer 9

The way I fixed this issue was by removing the tooltip in the click event function using the following code:

$("#myButton").on("click", function() {
    $("div[role=tooltip]").remove();
});

Answer 10

Also you can add:

onclick="this.blur()"

Answer 11

Try using rel="tooltip" instead of data-toggle="tooltip" which worked in my case. I was using data-toggle="tooltip" and also set the trigger condition as hover which didn't work in my case. When I changed my data selector, it worked.

HTML Code:

<button id="submit-btn" type="submit" class="btn btn-success" rel="tooltip" title="Click to submit this form">Submit</button>

JS Code //Tooltip $('.btn').tooltip({ trigger: 'hover' });

This will definitely remove the stuck tooltip.

Answer 12

David's answer above helped to fix my problem. I had both hover and click event on the button. Firefox on MAC did behave as I wanted. That is, show tooltip when hover, do not show tooltip for click. On other browsers and OS, When I click, the tooltip appear and stay as show. Even if i move the mouse to other buttons for hover. This is what I had:

$('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip({placement: 'right', html: true}); 

This is the fix:

$('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip({placement: 'right', html: true, trigger: 'hover'}); 

Answer 13

If nothing works, try this. *execute when clicked on a button or any element that has the tooltip.

let tooltip = document.getElementsByClassName("tooltip");
tooltip[0].parentNode.removeChild(tooltip[0]);

Answer 14

You can also use below method to hide tooltip on mouseleave, As below:

jQuery("body").on("mouseleave", ".has-tooltip", function(){
    jQuery(this).blur();
});

Answer 15

Also you can use this way for old versions because the accepted answer didn't worked for me and I wrote this code for my self and its work well.

$(document).on('mousedown', "[aria-describedby]", function() {
    $("[aria-describedby]").tooltip('hide');
});

Answer 16

To me, works only when I put this code. P.S.: I'm using Bootstrap 4.

$("body").tooltip({
    selector: '[data-toggle=tooltip]',
    trigger: 'hover'
}).on('click mousedown mouseup', '[data-toggle="tooltip"], [title]:not([data-toggle="popover"])', function () {
    $('[data-toggle="tooltip"], [title]:not([data-toggle="popover"])').tooltip('hide');
});

Answer 17

This solution worked for me.

$('a[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip({
  animated: 'fade',
  placement: 'bottom',
  trigger: 'click'
});

$('a[data-toggle="tooltip"]').click(function(event){
  event.stopPropagation();
});

$('body').click(function(){
  $('a[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip('hide');
});

I tried most of the solutions given in previous answers, but none of them worked for me.

My problem is in DataTable. Below code works for me.

columnDefs: [
    {
        targets: 0, data: "id", 
        render: function (data, type, full, meta) {
            return '<a href="javascript:;" class="btn btn-xs btn-default" data-toggle="tooltip" title="Pending" data-container="body"><i class="fa fa-check"></i></a>';
        }
    }
 ],
drawCallback: function() {
    $('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip();
    $('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').on('click', function () {
        $(this).tooltip('hide');
    });
}

Answer 19

I had this issue with Bootstrap 4 on iPhone with Safari.

On PC/Desktop, the tooltip is working great. But when looking on an iPhone with iOS 14, after click / tap on a button, the tooltip remained visible. Also when hiding the layer.

For me, adding this code solved the issue on iPhone:

jQuery('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip({
    trigger : 'hover'
}); 

jQuery('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').on("click", function () {
    $(this).tooltip("hide");
}); 

Answer 20

If the multiple solutions/suggestions above doesn't work. I put the data-bs-* options in a nested span tag after the button tag and it works after button clicked. I may assume that other tags than span should works as well but i didn't try after I got it working.

<div>
 <button type="button">
  <span data-bs-toggle="tooltip" data-bs-placement="top">Button Name</span>
 </button>
</div>

Answer 21

clear trigger and reproducing the default behavior

const el = document.getElementById('my-tooltip-el');
const tooltip = new bootstrap.Tooltip(el, {
    trigger: ''
});

el.addEventListener('mouseover', () => {
    tooltip.show();
})
el.addEventListener('mouseleave', () => {
    setTimeout(() => tooltip.hide(), 150)
})

Answer 22

I'm using bootstrap tooltip in cycle.js and none of the above worked for me.

I had to do this:

return button( selector + '.btn.btn-sm', 
             {
               hook: {
                 destroy: tooltipOff,
                 insert:  toggleTooltipOn,
               },
....

function toggleTooltipOn(vnode){
  setupJQuery();  
  jQuery[0].$( vnode.elm )
    .tooltip({container:'body', trigger: 'hover');
//container:body is to help tooltips not wiggle on hover
//trigger:hover is to only trigger on hover, not on click
}

function tooltipOff( vnode ){
  setupJQuery();      
  jQuery[0].$( vnode.elm ).tooltip('hide');
}

Answer 23

This works for me :

$(document).ready(function() {
   $('#save').tooltip({
            trigger : 'hover'
        }) ;

});

I was disabling save button dynamically then problem was.

Answer 24

In my case for this was the fix:

beforeDestroyingElement() {    
  $('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip('hide');
}

I wasn't obeying this rule from Bootstrap docs:

Tooltips must be hidden before their corresponding elements have been removed from the DOM.

Answer 25

If someone want's to setup a tooltip which will show for some time after click, here is how I did:

$('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip({
trigger : 'click'})  

$('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').on('shown.bs.tooltip', function () {
$(this).tooltip('hide')
})

Answer 26

Using a forced blur() has the potention to reduce the user experience. I wouldn't do that. I found that removing the "data-original-title" as well as removing the attributes "data-toggle" and "title" worked for me.

    $(id).tooltip('hide');
    $(id).removeAttr("data-toggle");
    $(id).removeAttr("data-original-title");
    $(id).removeAttr("title");

Answer 27

Using delegation to make it ajax friendly,

// if you're not using turbolinks, then you can remove this parent wrapper
$(document).on('turbolinks:load'), function() {  
  // enable tooltip with delegation to allow ajax pages to keep tooltip enabled
  $('body').tooltip({
    select: "[data-toggle='tooltip']"
  });

  // remove old tooltip from sticking on the page when calling ajax with turbolinks
  $('body').on('click', "[data-toggle='tooltip']", function() {
    $(this).tooltip('dispose');
  });
});
