I use jQuery UI Tooltip Widget and there is code:
$(function() {$( document ).tooltip({
content: \'connecting\',
content:function(callback) {
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />
<title> dynamic jquery ui tooltip </title>
<link rel="stylesheet"

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script src="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.2/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<style>
#listing {
margin-left: 50px ;
}
.ui-tooltip {
background: #AAABBB ;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 10px #aaa;
box-shadow: 0 0 10px #aaa;
}
body .ui-tooltip {
border-width: 4px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="listing">
<div class="item-heading" id="item-1" > link-1 </div>
</br>
</br>
<div class="item-heading" id="item-2"> link-2</div>
</div>
<script>

// and : http://stackoverflow.com/a/23487435/65706
$(document).tooltip({
items: ".item-heading"
// set static content to the tooltip
// , content: '<p> <a href="http://www.google.com"> go to google </a>'
// or
// set a dynamic content based on the selected element id
, content: function() {
//attribute title would do it as well for non html5
//also any custom attribute name would do it for html5
var el_id= $(this).attr('id');
var id=el_id.split('-')[1];
var d_link = "http://www.somesite.com/page.php?id=" + id ;
d_link = "<p><a href=\"" + d_link + "\"> go to link " +
id + " </a></p>" ;
return d_link ;
}
, open: function( event, ui ) {
ui.tooltip.animate({ top: ui.tooltip.position().top + 4 }, "fast" );
}
, close: function( event, ui ) {
ui.tooltip.hover(
function () {
$(this).stop(true).fadeTo(400, 1);
//.fadeIn("slow"); // doesn't work because of stop()
},
function () {
$(this).fadeOut("400", function(){ $(this).remove(); })
}
);
}
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
You should got for this:
$('body').tooltip({
selector: '[data-toggle=tooltip]'
});
First you tag your links with a class
<div class="teacher-link" data-teacher="1" title="1" onmouseover="{link=1}">Alex Brown</div>
<div class="teacher-link" data-teacher="2" title="2" onmouseover="{link=2}">John Black</div>
Then hook your tooltips on that class
$(function() {$( ".teacher-link" ).tooltip({
content: 'connecting',
content:function(callback) {
var link = $(this).attr("data-teacher"); // here retrieve the id of the teacher
$.get('teacher.php?teacherid=' + link,{}, function(data) {
callback(data);
});
},
})});
On non html5 page you can use another attribute like title:
var link = $(this).attr("title"); // here retrieve the id of the teacher
I think it's best to use HTML5 custom attribute
<div class="teacher" data-id="1" title="">Alex Brown</div>
<div class="teacher" data-id="2" title="">John Black</div>
and script
$(function() {
$( ".teacher" ).tooltip({
content: function() { return $(this).attr('data-id'); },
});
});
You can play with this at: http://jsfiddle.net/pT3ed/4/
Just replace "return $(this).attr('data-id');" with your loader using $(this).attr('data-id') as id.
