I am trying to make a very simple javascript tooltip with jQuery, but I hit a brick wall. The idea is to have a small inline element ( span) inside div. The element spanwill contain a tooltip divwith a little html (image and link). The tooltip should open when you click on an item spanand close when you click on it outside or outside the tooltip.
So far, opening a tooltip is not a problem, but closing.
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<style>
#colors > div {
background-color: red;
height: 50px;
width: 50px;
margin: 5px;
}
#colors > div > span {
min-height: 10px !important;
min-width: 10px !important;
border: 3px solid black;
position: relative;
}
.tooltip {
border: 2px solid blue;
display: none;
}
</style>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(function () {
for (var i = 0; i < 9; i++) {
$('#colors').append('<div id="' + i + '"><span><div class="tooltip"><a href="#">add to favorites</a></div></span></div>');
}
$('#colors').delegate('span', 'click', function (event) {
$(this).children('.tooltip').css({position:'absolute', top:'5px', left:'5px'}).fadeIn();
});
$(document).delegate('body', 'click', function (event) {
var that = this
$.each($('.tooltip'), function (index, element) {
if ($(element).is(':visible') && $(element).has(event.target).length === 0) {
var s = event.target;
console.log([($(s) == event.target), event.target, index, element, $(element).has(event.target).length, that]);
}
});
});
})
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="colors"></div>
</body>
</html>
I cannot find a way to close the tooltip if the click is outside spanand the tooltip.
