Content
The Tooltip provides options for loading and configuring its content.
Defining Static Content
To define static content, use the Content() configuration method.
<span id="tooltip" class="k-button wider">Hover me!</span>
@(Html.Kendo().Tooltip()
.For("#tooltip")
.Position(TooltipPosition.Top)
.Content("Hello!")
)
Using Content Template
To specify the layout of the content and that will be displayed, use the ContentTemplateId configuration method.
For more information on the capabilities and syntax of the templates, refer to the Kendo UI Templates Overview documentation article. For a runnable example, refer to the Templates demo.
The following example demonstrates how to customize the Tooltip by referencing a script tag by its id.
<ul id="products">
<li>
<a href="#" data-id="11" title="A cheese made in the artisan tradition by rural dairy farmers in the north of Spain">
Queso de Cabrales
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#" data-id="12" title="A cheese made in the La Mancha region of Spain from the milk of sheep of the Manchega breed">
Queso<br />Manchego
</a>
</li>
</ul>
@(Html.Kendo().Tooltip()
.For("#products")
.Filter("a")
.ContentTemplateId("template")
.Position(TooltipPosition.Top)
)
<script id="template" type="text/x-kendo-template">
<div class="template-wrapper">
<p>#=target.data('id')#</p>
<p>#=target.data('title')#</p>
</div>
</script>
Loading Content with AJAX
Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC Tooltip provides built-in support for asynchronously loading content from remote URLs. These URLs return HTML content that can be loaded in the content area of the Tooltip.
The following example demonstrates how to load the content asynchronously with AJAX by using the LoadContentFrom configuration method.
@(Html.Kendo().Tooltip()
.For("#products")
.Filter("a")
.LoadContentFrom("Details", "Tooltip")
.Position(TooltipPosition.Top)
.Width(220)
.Height(280)
.Events(events => events.RequestStart("requestStart"))
)
<script type="text/javascript">
function requestStart(e) {
e.options.data = {
id: e.target.data("id")
}
}
</script>
