    Create a Tooltip

    The Tooltip can be created from any HTML element with the HTML id attribute and pre-defined options set to it. To create the Tooltip, you should call the ejTooltip jQuery plug-in function with the options as parameter. Refer to the following code example.

  • html
    • <div class="img" id="sample">
        <img class='ctrImg' src='http://js.syncfusion.com/demos/web/images/tooltip/template-05.png' />
        <div class='desc'>Delphi Succinctly</div>
    </div>
    <?php
    $tooltip1 =new EJ\Tooltip('sample');
    $pos1 = new EJ\Tooltip\Position();
    $tar1 = new EJ\Tooltip\Target();
    $stem1 = new EJ\Tooltip\Stem();
    $tar1->horizontal('top')->vertical('top');
    $stem1->horizontal('top')->vertical('top');
    $pos1->target($tar1)->stem($stem1);
    echo $tooltip1->content('Learn the fundamentals of Delphi to build a variety of solutions for many devices and platforms.')->render();
    ?>

    Apply the following style sheet

  • html
    • <style>
      div.img {
        border: 1px solid #ccc;
        width: 159px;
        height: 213px;
        left: 35%;
        position: relative;
        top: 20%;
      }
      div.img img {
        width: 159px;
        height: 179px;
      }
      div.desc {
        padding: 8px;
        text-align: center;
      }
    </style>

       $pos1 = new EJ\Tooltip\Position();
       $tar1 = new EJ\Tooltip\Target();
       $stem1 = new EJ\Tooltip\Stem();
       $tar1->horizontal('top')->vertical('top');
       $stem1->horizontal('top')->vertical('top');
       $pos1->target($tar1)->stem($stem1);
      echo $tooltip1->width('200px')->height('100px')->content('Learn the fundamentals of Delphi to build a variety of solutions for many devices and platforms.')->render();
    ?>
