Making tooltips disappear again... | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hi All
I have implemented (mobile-friendly) tooltips using the following: Responsive and Mobile-Friendly Tooltip — Osvaldas Valutis (replacing $ with jQuery everywhere in the java-script). It appears to work perfectly when I'm in builder view, however when I preview my survey, nothing I do makes the tooltip disappear again. The result is that I have multiple tooltips all overlapping each other for one question. Even when I skip to the next page they are still there!
This is exactly what I have in the java-script for the question:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
jQuery( function()
{
  var targets = jQuery( '[rel~=tooltip]' ),
    target = false,
    tooltip = false,
    title  = false;
 
  targets.bind( 'mouseenter', function()
  {
    target = jQuery( this );
    tip   = target.attr( 'title' );
    tooltip = jQuery( '

' );
 
    if( !tip || tip == '' )
      return false;
 
    target.removeAttr( 'title' );
    tooltip.css( 'opacity', 0 )
        .html( tip )
        .appendTo( 'body' );
 
    var init_tooltip = function()
    {
      if( jQuery( window ).width() < tooltip.outerWidth() * 1.5 )
        tooltip.css( 'max-width', jQuery( window ).width() / 2 );
      else
        tooltip.css( 'max-width', 340 );
 
      var pos_left = target.offset().left + ( target.outerWidth() / 2 ) - ( tooltip.outerWidth() / 2 ),
        pos_top = target.offset().top - tooltip.outerHeight() - 20;
 
      if( pos_left < 0 )
      {
        pos_left = target.offset().left + target.outerWidth() / 2 - 20;
        tooltip.addClass( 'left' );
      }
      else
        tooltip.removeClass( 'left' );
 
      if( pos_left + tooltip.outerWidth() > jQuery( window ).width() )
      {
        pos_left = target.offset().left - tooltip.outerWidth() + target.outerWidth() / 2 + 20;
        tooltip.addClass( 'right' );
      }
      else
        tooltip.removeClass( 'right' );
 
      if( pos_top < 0 )
      {
        var pos_top = target.offset().top + target.outerHeight();
        tooltip.addClass( 'top' );
      }
      else
        tooltip.removeClass( 'top' );
 
      tooltip.css( { left: pos_left, top: pos_top } )
          .animate( { top: '+=10', opacity: 1 }, 50 );
    };
 
    init_tooltip();
    $( window ).resize( init_tooltip );
 
    var remove_tooltip = function()
    {
      tooltip.animate( { top: '-=10', opacity: 0 }, 50, function()
      {
        jQuery( this ).remove();
      });
 
      target.attr( 'title', tip );
    };
 
    target.bind( 'mouseleave', remove_tooltip );
    tooltip.bind( 'click', remove_tooltip );
  });
});


});

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function()
{
/*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is fully displayed*/

});

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnUnload(function()
{
/*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is unloaded*/

});
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm new to Javascript and CSS (and relatively new to Qualtrics), can anybody help me out here otherwise I'm going to have to re-word all my likert questions, which I would really like to avoid as it will make them unnecessarily long!

Many thanks

Issue resolved... the problem was with this part of the code:
init_tooltip();
    $( window ).resize( init_tooltip );
Because I overlooked to replace $ with jQuery in this one section of code, it obviously resulted in everything in the code from this point being ignored. Now that I've corrected that, it works as expected!
