Hide native tooltip using jQuery

问题:

Is there a way to hide the native tooltip action when a user hovers over a anchor tag with a title attribute? I don't want to remove it just don't display the nasty yellow box that is the default tooltip action.

UPDATE:

After reading a couple of other posts I don't think I can hide the title attribute for the native tooltip action, but I'm trying to think outside of the box here. Could I use another attribute instead of the title attribute inside the anchor tag and still keep a valid page???

Removing the title attribute value is not an option unless someone can figure out how to add it back for a onclick event?

WORKING CODE BELOW

$('[title]').each( function() {
    var $this = $(this);
    $this.data('title',$this.attr('title'));
    $this.removeAttr('title');
});

$('a').click( function() {
    var $this = $(this);
    var title = $this.data('title');
    ... do your other stuff...
});

Apparently the title attribute doesn't fall under the normal event handler. Anyway, my original answer didn't work, though I'll keep playing with it to see if I can get it to work. If you need to retain the title attribute but don't want the popup effect, as indicated in your comments, then store the title attribute in the element's data and use it from there.

$('[title]').each( function() {
    var $this = $(this);
    $this.data('title',$this.attr('title'));
    $this.removeAttr('title');
});

$('a').click( function() {
    var $this = $(this);
    var title = $this.data('title');
    ... do your other stuff...
});

Original answer:

Give every element that has a title a specific hover over handler that prevents the default action.

$('[title]').hover(
   function(e) {
       e.preventDefault();
   },
   function() { }
);

Except after testing it doesn't seem to work.

You can remove it by:

$("a").removeAttr("title");

This will remove it for js-users only, so it's still accessable and findable for search engines.

I used a variation on bEj ni c bEj's code, because I needed to preserve the title content on hover, but still needed to suppress the default behavior.

// Suppress default tooltip behavior on hover
var tempTitle = "";
$('abbr[title],dfn[title],span.info-tip[title],').hover(
function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    tempTitle = $(this).attr('title');

    $(this).attr('title', '');
        // add attribute 'tipTitle' & populate on hover
        $(this).hover(
            function(){
                $(this).attr('tipTitle', tempTitle);
            }
        );
    },
   // restore title on mouseout
   function() {
   $(this).attr('title', tempTitle);
   }
);

This allows me to do this in my stylesheet: /* abbr & tooltip styles: first, the immediate descendants of the content area are set to highlight abbreviations on hover, but avoiding lists; as we don't want *all* abbreviations highlighted when you hover on a root list */

abbr,
abbr[tipTitle],
dfn,
dfn[tipTitle],
span.info-tip,
span.info-tip[tipTitle] {
border-bottom:none; /*remove border 1st, then let following rules add it back in*/
}

Giving me pretty tooltips where I need them, without the default tooltip appearing simultaneously.

To get it out of the title, I would use the data() method:

$(document).ready( function () {
    $('.items_with_title').each( function () {
        $(this).data('title', $(this).attr('title') );
        $(this).removeAttr('title');
    });
});

// to access it
$(document).ready( function () {
    $('A').click( function () {
        alert($(this).data('title'));
    });
});

You could also make the selector for any item that has a title attribute:

$('*[title]').each(...

回答5:

The original poster only wanted to disable the native action of .tooltip(). If that is the case, use the following simple solution:

$(function() {
    $( document ).tooltip({
        items: "[data-tooltip]",
        content: function() {
            var element = $( this );
            if ( element.is( "[data-tooltip]" ) ) {
                return element.attr('data-tooltip');
            }
        }
    });
});

Now the [title] attribute is disabled and the tooltip will only trigger when an element has a [data-tooltip] attribute. By defining more 'items' you can create different behavior and styles:

$(function() {
    $( document ).tooltip({
        items: "[data-tooltip],img[alt]",
        content: function() {
            var element = $( this );
            if ( element.is( "[data-tooltip]" ) ) {
                return element.attr('data-tooltip');
            }
            if ( element.is( "[alt]" ) ) {
                return element.attr('alt') + something_else;
            }
        }
    });
});

var tempTitle = "";
$('a[title]').hover(
    function(e){
         e.preventDefault();
         tempTitle = $(this).attr('title');

         $(this).attr('title', '');

             $(this).mousedown(
                function(){
                    $(this).attr('title', tempTitle);
                }
            );
    }
   ,
   function() {
       $(this).attr('title', tempTitle);
   }
);

Try it works like a dog!

I know this is post about Jquery but I just ran in to this issue and is mostly connected with lighboxes so here is Mootools fix for iaian7 Mediabox Advanced on image links if anyone needs it The fix will work on any of these also http://line25.com/articles/rounding-up-the-top-10-mootools-lightbox-scripts

if ($$('.lbThumb').length > 0) { //  lbThumb a class or what ever you are using
    $$('.lbThumb').each(function (el) { // same here , your a class

        var savedtitle = el.get('title');
        var getimage  = el.getElement('img'); 
                    // must use image click since Mediabox will kill our a element click
        getimage.addEvent('click', function () {
            el.set('title',savedtitle );
        });
        // hide nasty a tooltip 
        el.addEvents({
        mouseenter: function () {
          el.erase('title');
        },
        // bring it back 
        mouseleave: function () {
          el.set('title',savedtitle );

        }
      });

   });
}

回答8:

Its works like this:

Rename to sTitle instead of default title attribute and if you need to call it from Jquery:

getAttribute('stitle')

It works on all.

回答9:

You can hook the 'mouseenter' event and return false which will stop the native tooltips from being displayed.

$(selector).on( 'mouseenter', function(){ return false; });

回答10:

var title;
$('a[title]').hover(function () {
   title = $(this).attr('title');
   $(this).attr('title','');
}, function () {
   $(this).attr('title',title);
});

回答11:

Here's another spin-off that you might find useful, in case you use a lightbox JS plugin that still needs the "title" attribute for title processing on the lightbox slides:

$('a.lightbox-trigger').each(function() { // Process all lightbox trigger links

    $(this).mouseover(function() {
        if(!$(this).data('keep'))  // 1st time = FALSE, so make the swap
            $(this).attr('data-title', $(this).attr('title')).attr('title', '');
        $(this).data('keep', true); // Preserve value if hovered before clicked
    });

    $(this).mousedown(function() {
        $(this).attr('title', $(this).attr('data-title')).attr('data-title', '');
        $(this).data('keep', false); // Mark element as safe to swap again
    });
});
