33. Don't use position: fixed for this, it looks like it works but will cause problems later on. In your case, the best option would be to append the tooltip to the body (as mentionned by @machineaddict in a comment) to ensure it follows the pencil on scroll, which fixed positioning won't. $('.nav-text').tooltip({. Overview . Things to know when using the tooltip plugin: Tooltips rely on the third party library Popper for positioning. You must include popper.min.js before bootstrap.js, or use one bootstrap.bundle.min.js which contains Popper.; Tooltips are opt-in for performance reasons, so you must initialize them yourself.; Tooltips with zero-length titles are never displayed. Missing or incorrect tooltip initialization. This is the most common cause of Bootstrap tooltips not working. To display tooltips, you must initialize them using the tooltip() function in JavaScript. This function can be called on a specific element or on all elements you want to have a tooltip on the page. When calling the tooltip function on In my opinion, doing this will solve most, if not all of the more basic z-index issues. Now, let's move on to our last reason that your z-index isn't working. This one is a bit more complex, because it involves parent and child elements. 4. The element is in a lower stacking context due to its parent's z-index level. The problem I'm having is when hovering over the first "qwer" (the second TD of the first TR), you can see the second "qwer" (second TD of the SECOND TR) over the tooltip. I've been playing with the z-index properties of the span & the A element, but can't get it to work. Works fine in Firefox. IE7/8 is where I'm seeing the problem. Any ideas? I did some searching to see if anyone had a similar problem, but didn't see this particular problem. I figured the tooltips must already have fixed position, but after some messing around I added "position: fixed" to my class anyway and now all the tooltips work perfectly! This was all with

react-tooltip 3.6.1 on Chrome 67. components: Popover & Tooltip reactstrap version 9.0.2; import method es; react version 17.0.2; bootstrap version 5.1.3; What is happening? When a tooltip or popover animate in, they appear below any content with a z-index set, even if it's below 1070/1080, then after the fade animation is complete they appear on top. instead of adding data-bs-tooltip to tooltips, the best is to add a new class (like has-tooltip) and to use the following js: new bootstrap.Tooltip(document.body, {. selector: '.has-tooltip'. }); Automatically created and destroyed tooltip are handled automatically. No additional code is needed. 👍 6. 🚀 3. I have a range slider in jquery with tooltip above handles, and my issue is with z-index position of tooltips I wanna to set them up in way that one which I'm dragging along slider gets above that one which is not dragged. Currently, the first tooltip is behind last tooltip and I don't know how to set it up to work in above way The Initializer looks for HTML elements with tooltip-demo in the class attribute, then calls the tooltip() method to initialize any child elements that have the attribute data-toggle="tooltip" defined. CSS. .crazy-zindex {. z-index: 10000; } Its important to remember that CSS is cascading, so the last rule will overwrite anything above it, with this said, any overwrites you want to do to bootstrap you'll have to link that stylesheet after bootstrap. Or you can use !important but that's not good practice. It seems to be some bug related to the tooltip mode. This happens with "index" and "nearest" mode. Maybe the tooltip code gets called before the tooltipItems array is filled. In my jsfiddle, there's a custom callback, but even when I remove it the behaviour is the same. If, however, I remove or change to tooltip mode to point, that doesn't happen. 1. z-index will set the stacking of elements. You'll need opacity. Set the opacity of the tooltip to 1. .tooltip {. opacity: 1; }

Hi @chojnicki, basically i used the sticy in column header also , with some z-index of 2, even though the z-index of tooltip is high , its hiding behind the column - Aashiq Commented Apr 16, 2021 at 8:42 I am trying to use a tooltip in css, it is working, but I have a problem when the tooltips appear, because the text in the p tag its is showing over the span content "the tooltip" I want to show over all the content. Ive been trying withh z-index, also defining the position in al the tags, but cant understand why it is not working. 2. The problem with your fiddle is the margin-top:-30px in a.toolTipA span is moving the tooltip for the top link out of the viewport. You either need to start your items at least that far down the page, or remove that line from the css. According to this previous stackoverflow post, setting position:fixed will keep your elements in the viewport. This includes any position of relative with a stated z-index and transforms. So what's happening is that because you create a new stacking context (looks like when you're rotating the text), the child element which is the tooltip is positioned in a z index to that div, but the next cell over is in a different stacking context and the z-index 0. you can put "z-index : -1;" in the ".tooltip" in your css code. Thanks for your tip. Adding z-index: -1; to .tooltip does solve the problem with the tooltip icons showing through the floating menu's background. However, now the tooltips itself no longer work (mouse over icon and tooltip does not show up). that will work if you set z-index on the spans, but if you put on it will have no effect because it is "upper" element. edit: and in your css you have written .tooltip a but you have no in .tooltip, so you ment a.tooltip i suppose. $('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip({ container: 'body' }); I just trigger this script after everything is done rendering on the page and everything is set fine.

Also in areas where there is an update to the tool tip I have to run this again. When the tooltips are added, it appears to take the distance from the top of the table to the hovered cell, and draw the tooltip that distance from the top of the parent div. This means that, when you scroll down through the div, the tooltips end up being drawn down below the bottom of the div.
