Tooltip showing hidden values in table format on hover

Leave a Comment

My site is set up in the following way:

4 user groups. Each user group can see different information. An example would be stock quantity for a store. So the user from London can't see the stock availability for Manchester. This information is taken from the database for EACH item in stock. So if you have a list of 20 items, their individual values will be displayed.

I would like to do the following:

If I, or anyone I give permission to, hovers over the "In Stock" columm for their own store, a tooltip table must appear showing the current stock levels for the 3 other stores, for each individual product. So if I hover over item SKU-001, I will only see the stock availability for that item. I had an issue where it was displaying the whole list for each item.

I was thinking of this:

<table> <tr> <th>Store1></th> <th>Store2></th> <th>Store3></th> <th>Store4></th> </tr> <?php foreach($this->products as $product) { ?> <tr> <td id="stock1" title="myFunction">Stock of Item 1st store</td> *If I hover/mouseover here, another table must appear showing only store name and values of "#stock2, #stock3 and #stock4* for the stock item I am hovering on. <td id="stock2">Stock of Item 2nd store</td> <td id="stock3">Stock of Item 3rd store</td> <td id="stock4">Stock of Item 4th store</td> </tr> <?php } ?> </table> 

Here is some code I wrote:

function myFunction() { var x = document.createElement("TABLE"); x.setAttribute("id", "table10"); document.body.appendChild(x);  var y = document.createElement("TR"); y.setAttribute("id", "myTr"); document.getElementById("myTable").appendChild(y);  var z = document.createElement("TD"); var t = document.getElementByID("riyadhbalance").value(); z.appendChild(t); document.getElementById("myTr").appendChild(z); 

However, for some reason this is not working. I have not found a way to include a tooltip. All the stock values are there for each individual item, so I just need to find a way to add the 3 values for the other stores and display them in a table format via a tooltip. That would be ideal.

So basically the tooltip should show the 3 values of the stores which are currently not on display, as the other 3 values are hidden. The user can only see their store's stock levels. But I would like to include this for myself as it would make it easier to view stock levels across the board.

Check this solution with jQuery and Bootstrap Working fiddle

You have four options:

1 - You can dynamically add it to your code on domReady (like the fiddle)

2 - You can directly print the needed html to make the plugin work. Check docs POPOVER or TOOLTIP

<button type="button" class="btn btn-lg btn-danger my_elements" data-toggle="popover" title="Popover title" data-content="And here's some amazing content. It's very engaging. Right?">Click to toggle popover</button>  // and then, just call from javscript <script>     $('.my_elements').popover(); // or $('.my_elements').tooltip(); </script> 

3 - You can create it when you hover any element. Like the following example (this is particulary helpful if you have a lot of elements needing popover/tooltip, which would consume a lot of time and memory to init and handle)

<table>   <thead>     <tr>       <th>SKU</th>       <th>Description></th>       <th>Stock Tooltip</th>       <th>Stock Popover</th>     </tr>   </thead>   <tbody>     <tr><td>SKU-0001</td><td>This is a description for SKU-0001</td><td class="stock_t">5</td><td class="stock_p">5</td></tr>   </tbody> </table>  <script> $('.stock_p').on('mouseover', function(){     // get data from AJAX     // create table element     $(this).attr('title', table_element);     $(this).tooltip({         placement: 'top',         trigger: 'hover',         html: true,         container: 'body',     }).tooltip('show'); }); </script> 

4 - with AJAX

<?php // server side PHP $other_stores_stock = [ "store_1" => 5, "store_2" => 20, "store_3" => 50 ]; header( 'Content-Type: application/json' ); echo json_encode( $other_stores_stock ); ?>   //client side JS - like 1st example <script> $('.stock_p').on('mouseover', function(){     $.ajax({         url: your_url,         type: 'POST',         data: { your_data: 'get_stock_qty"},         dataType: "json",         async: false,         success: function (res) {             let table_html = '<table><tr><td>'+res['store_1']+'</td><td>'+res['store_2']+'</td><td>'+res['store_3']+'</td></tr></table>';             $(this).attr('title', 'Stock value for other Stores');             $(this).attr('data-placement', 'left');             $(this).attr('data-toggle', 'popover');             $(this).attr('data-trigger', 'hover');             $(this).attr('data-html', true);             $(this).attr('data-content', table_html);             $(this).popover('show');         }     }); }); </script>
