Is there a way to have the title attribute of an html element to display for a longer time?

Question

Without using tooltip plugins or such, is there a way to extend the duration of time that the title attribute of an html element will display for?

thanks!

Answer 1

Are you looking to extend the time tooltips display on your own machine, or on a client machine?

If you are changing the amount of time you want tooldips to display, then you'll create your own tooltips with javascript or some fancy CSS.

I use a jquery function that handles tooltips. You set tooltips to disappear after a set amount of time.

There are a bunch of options available. Google Search

In whatever the tooltip's end event, probably a .mouseout(function(){ type of event you'd just change something that looks like

.mouseout(function(){
    //some code that gets rid of the tooltip, like my_tooltip.css({left:"-9999px"});
});

to

.mouseout(function(){
   setTimeout(function(){
     //some code that gets rid of the tooltip, like my_tooltip.css({left:"-9999px"});
   }), 1000); //<- one second
});
