description: Documentation and examples for adding custom Bootstrap tooltips with CSS and JavaScript using CSS3 for animations and data-attributes for local title storage.
group: components
toc: true
---
## Overview
Things to know when using the tooltip plugin:
- Tooltips rely on the 3rd party library [Popper.js](https://popper.js.org/) for positioning. You must include [popper.min.js]({{< param "cdn.popper" >}}) before bootstrap.js or use `bootstrap.bundle.min.js` / `bootstrap.bundle.js` which contains Popper.js in order for tooltips to work!
- If you're building our JavaScript from source, it [requires `util.js`]({{< docsref "/getting-started/javascript#util" >}}).
- Tooltips are opt-in for performance reasons, so **you must initialize them yourself**.
- Tooltips with zero-length titles are never displayed.
- Specify `container: 'body'` to avoid rendering problems in more complex components (like our input groups, button groups, etc).
- Triggering tooltips on hidden elements will not work.
- Tooltips for `.disabled` or `disabled` elements must be triggered on a wrapper element.
- When triggered from hyperlinks that span multiple lines, tooltips will be centered. Use `white-space: nowrap;` on your `<a>`s to avoid this behavior.
- Tooltips must be hidden before their corresponding elements have been removed from the DOM.
- Tooltips can be triggered thanks to an element inside a shadow DOM.
{{< callout info >}}
{{< partial "callout-info-prefersreducedmotion.md" >}}
{{< /callout >}}
Got all that? Great, let's see how they work with some examples.
## Example: Enable tooltips everywhere
One way to initialize all tooltips on a page would be to select them by their `data-toggle` attribute:
```js
$(function () {
$('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip()
})
```
## Examples
Hover over the links below to see tooltips:
<div class="bd-example tooltip-demo">
<p class="muted">Tight pants next level keffiyeh <a href="#" data-toggle="tooltip" title="Default tooltip">you probably</a> haven't heard of them. Photo booth beard raw denim letterpress vegan messenger bag stumptown. Farm-to-table seitan, mcsweeney's fixie sustainable quinoa 8-bit american apparel <a href="#" data-toggle="tooltip" title="Another tooltip">have a</a> terry richardson vinyl chambray. Beard stumptown, cardigans banh mi lomo thundercats. Tofu biodiesel williamsburg marfa, four loko mcsweeney's cleanse vegan chambray. A really ironic artisan <a href="#" data-toggle="tooltip" title="Another one here too">whatever keytar</a>, scenester farm-to-table banksy Austin <a href="#" data-toggle="tooltip" title="The last tip!">twitter handle</a> freegan cred raw denim single-origin coffee viral.
</p>
</div>
Hover over the buttons below to see the four tooltips directions: top, right, bottom, and left.
<div class="bd-example tooltip-demo">
<div class="bd-example-tooltips">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top" title="Tooltip on top">Tooltip on top</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="right" title="Tooltip on right">Tooltip on right</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="bottom" title="Tooltip on bottom">Tooltip on bottom</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="left" title="Tooltip on left">Tooltip on left</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-toggle="tooltip" data-html="true" title="<em>Tooltip</em> <u>with</u> <b>HTML</b>">Tooltip with HTML</button>
</div>
</div>
```html
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top" title="Tooltip on top">
Tooltip on top
</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="right" title="Tooltip on right">
Tooltip on right
</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="bottom" title="Tooltip on bottom">
Tooltip on bottom
</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="left" title="Tooltip on left">
Tooltip on left
</button>
```
And with custom HTML added:
```html
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-toggle="tooltip" data-html="true" title="<em>Tooltip</em> <u>with</u> <b>HTML</b>">
Tooltip with HTML
</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:
```js
$('#example').tooltip(options)
```
{{< callout warning >}}
##### Overflow `auto` and `scroll`
Tooltip position attempts to automatically change when a parent container has `overflow: auto` or `overflow: scroll` like our `.table-responsive`, but still keeps the original placement's positioning. To resolve, set the `boundary` option to anything other than default value, `'scrollParent'`, such as `'window'`:
```js
$('#example').tooltip({ boundary: 'window' })
```
{{< /callout >}}
### Markup
The required markup for a tooltip is only a `data` attribute and `title` on the HTML element you wish to have a tooltip. The generated markup of a tooltip is rather simple, though it does require a position (by default, set to `top` by the plugin).
{{< callout warning >}}
##### Making tooltips work for keyboard and assistive technology users
You should only add tooltips to HTML elements that are traditionally keyboard-focusable and interactive (such as links or form controls). Although arbitrary HTML elements (such as `<span>`s) can be made focusable by adding the `tabindex="0"` attribute, this will add potentially annoying and confusing tab stops on non-interactive elements for keyboard users, and most assistive technologies currently do not announce the tooltip in this situation. Additionally, do not rely solely on `hover` as the trigger for your tooltip, as this will make your tooltips impossible to trigger for keyboard users.
{{< /callout >}}
```html
<!-- HTML to write -->
<a href="#" data-toggle="tooltip" title="Some tooltip text!">Hover over me</a>
<!-- Generated markup by the plugin -->
<div class="tooltip bs-tooltip-top" role="tooltip">
<div class="arrow"></div>
<div class="tooltip-inner">
Some tooltip text!
</div>
</div>
```
### Disabled elements
Elements with the `disabled` attribute aren't interactive, meaning users cannot focus, hover, or click them to trigger a tooltip (or popover). As a workaround, you'll want to trigger the tooltip from a wrapper `<div>` or `<span>`, ideally made keyboard-focusable using `tabindex="0"`, and override the `pointer-events` on the disabled element.
<div class="tooltip-demo">
{{< example >}}
<span class="d-inline-block" tabindex="0" data-toggle="tooltip" title="Disabled tooltip">
<button class="btn btn-primary" style="pointer-events: none;" type="button" disabled>Disabled button</button>
</span>
{{< /example >}}
</div>
### Options
Options can be passed via data attributes or JavaScript. For data attributes, append the option name to `data-`, as in `data-animation=""`.
{{< callout warning >}}
Note that for security reasons the `sanitize`, `sanitizeFn` and `whiteList` options cannot be supplied using data attributes.

#### Data attributes for individual tooltips
Options for individual tooltips can alternatively be specified through the use of data attributes, as explained above.
{{< /callout >}}
### Methods
{{< callout danger >}}
{{< partial "callout-danger-async-methods.md" >}}
{{< /callout >}}
#### `$().tooltip(options)`
Attaches a tooltip handler to an element collection.
#### `.tooltip('show')`
Reveals an element's tooltip. **Returns to the caller before the tooltip has actually been shown** (i.e. before the `shown.bs.tooltip` event occurs). This is considered a "manual" triggering of the tooltip. Tooltips with zero-length titles are never displayed.
```js
$('#element').tooltip('show')
```
#### `.tooltip('hide')`
Hides an element's tooltip. **Returns to the caller before the tooltip has actually been hidden** (i.e. before the `hidden.bs.tooltip` event occurs). This is considered a "manual" triggering of the tooltip.
```js
$('#element').tooltip('hide')
```
#### `.tooltip('toggle')`
Toggles an element's tooltip. **Returns to the caller before the tooltip has actually been shown or hidden** (i.e. before the `shown.bs.tooltip` or `hidden.bs.tooltip` event occurs). This is considered a "manual" triggering of the tooltip.
```js
$('#element').tooltip('toggle')
```
#### `.tooltip('dispose')`
Hides and destroys an element's tooltip. Tooltips that use delegation (which are created using [the `selector` option](#options)) cannot be individually destroyed on descendant trigger elements.
```js
$('#element').tooltip('dispose')
```
#### `.tooltip('enable')`
Gives an element's tooltip the ability to be shown. **Tooltips are enabled by default.**
```js
$('#element').tooltip('enable')
```
#### `.tooltip('disable')`
Removes the ability for an element's tooltip to be shown. The tooltip will only be able to be shown if it is re-enabled.
```js
$('#element').tooltip('disable')
```
#### `.tooltip('toggleEnabled')`
Toggles the ability for an element's tooltip to be shown or hidden.
```js
$('#element').tooltip('toggleEnabled')
```
#### `.tooltip('update')`
Updates the position of an element's tooltip.
```js
$('#element').tooltip('update')
```
