Tooltip JSP Tag Overview
The Tooltip JSP tag is a server-side wrapper for the Kendo UI Tooltip widget.
Getting Started
Configuration
Below are listed the steps for you to follow when configuring the Kendo UI Tooltip.
Step 1 Make sure you followed all the steps from the introductory article on Telerik UI for JSP.
Step 2 Create a new action method which renders the view.
@RequestMapping(value = {"index"}, method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String index() {
return "web/window/index";
}
Step 3 Add the Kendo UI taglib mapping to the page.
<%@taglib prefix="kendo" uri="https://www.telerik.com/kendo-ui/jsp/tags"%>
Step 4 Add a tooltip tag. Use the element with container id as container and show a tooltip for the anchor elements within it.
<kendo:tooltip name="#container" filter="a[title]" />
Event Handling
Subscribe to Events
You can subscribe to all events exposed by Kendo UI Tooltip by the handler name.
<kendo:tooltip name="#container" show="tooltip_show" hide="tooltip_hide">
</kendo:tooltip>
<script>
function tooltip_show() {
// Handle the show event
}
function tooltip_hide() {
// Handle the hide event
}
</script>
Reference
Existing Instances
You are able to reference an existing Tooltip instance via the jQuery.data(). Once a reference is established, you are able to use the Tooltip API to control its behavior.
// Put this after your Kendo UI Tooltip tag declaration
<script>
$(function() {
// Notice that the name attribute of the tooltip is used to get its client-side instance
var tooltipObject = $("#container").data("kendoTooltip");
});
</script>
Asynchronous Loading
You are able to load views asynchronously through the content attribute.
The example below demonstrates how to load the contents of the Tooltip by using an asynchronous call.
<c:url value="/web/tooltip/content" var="remoteUrl" />
<kendo:tooltip name="#container">
<kendo:tooltip-content>
<kendo:tooltip-content-url url="${ remoteUrl }" />
</kendo:tooltip-content>
</kendo:tooltip>
