On-hover tooltip showing image

Question

I am trying to show an image in a tooltip on hover. I found this solution, which is awesome and I need just something like this:

Codepen

CSS:

@import "compass";

* {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

.tooltip {
  position: relative;
  border-bottom: 1px dotted #ccc;
  cursor: help;

  &:before, &:after {
    @include single-transition($duration: .6s);
    visibility: hidden;
  }

  &:before {
    @include opacity(0);
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0;
    left: 50%;
    margin-left: -6px;
    content: '\00a0';
    height: 0;
    width: 0;
    border-bottom: 6px solid #363636;
    border-left: 6px solid transparent;
    border-right: 6px solid transparent;
  }

  &:after {
    @include opacity(0);
    @include border-radius(4px);
    position: absolute;
    content: attr(title);
    top: 100%;
    left: -12px;
    width: 100%;
    min-width: 120px;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 8px 10px;
    background: #363636;
    color: #fff;
    font-size: 1.2rem;
    font-weight: normal;
    text-align: center;
  }

  &:hover {

    &:after, &:before {
      @include opacity(1);
      visibility: visible;
    }

    &:before {
      bottom: -6px;
    }

    &:after {
      margin-top: 6px;
    }
  }
}

// Demo

html {
  font-size: 62.25%;
}

body {
  font-size: 1.6rem;
}

h1 {
  font-size: 2.4rem;
}

.wrapper {
  max-width: 32em;
  padding: 12px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  font-family: sans-serif;
  line-height: 1.4;
}

HTML:

<div class="wrapper">
  <h1 class="tooltip" title="Tooltip">Pure CSS Tooltip</h1>
  <p><span class="tooltip" title="I'm a Tooltip">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</span> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Numquam molestiae, quis accusamus fugiat officiis amet ullam, inventore vero! Officia iusto totam quis amet consequatur numquam nesciunt alias deleniti eos quas?<span class="tooltip" title="Another Tooltip">
  Lorem ipsum</span> dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Beatae ut nihil labore at reiciendis placeat modi, Lorem ipsum dolor sit ameteum quia delectus similique accusamus sed soluta sunt aliquid repudiandae assumenda a illo molestiae.
    <span class="tooltip" title="One more Tooltip">Lorem ipsum</span> dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Deserunt incidunt et earum repellendus, maxime neque voluptate molestias quod at illo maiores tempora suscipit, deleniti ipsum nesciunt, animi tempore, esse cum?
  </p>
</div>

But the problem is title attribute can only be text, and I need to show an image. Can this be altered, and if so, how? Or is there another solution?

Thank you in advance.

Welcome to Stackoverflow! Unfortunately there is no chance to put an image to the title attribute. You should use a js library like jquery.ui. Refer to this post.

If you're more focused on customizing the tooltip then you should go for

jQuery-powertip

and since you're seeking for image tooltip then follow this example.

Here's my JSFiddle

HTML:

<div id="image_tooltip">
   <div>1914 translation by H. Rackham</div>
</div>

CSS:

#image_tooltip div {
   background-color: #EEE;
   border: 1px solid #CCC;
   border-radius: 3px;
   text-align: center;
   width: 400px;
   padding: 40px;
}

jQuery(you've to include jQuery Lib as well as powertip jQuery&CSS:

/*image_tooltip examples*/
$('#image_tooltip div').data('powertip', $([
    '<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-5khUd9Qwc-o/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAZ0/IUp786Zkfgc/photo.jpg?sz=48" />'].join('\n')));
$('#element div').powerTip({
    followMouse: true
 });

Following the instruction you'll get your tooltip like:

you can easily customize its position, tooltip behavior as well as its looks.

Hope this will help you.
