Setting ToolTip Text
« on: August 20, 2014, 05:01:39 am »
I am attempting to set tooltip text on all the cells in one column in the grid.  I am using the render callback on that column and the jQuery UI tooltip widget, but I haven't been able to get it to work.  Is this the correct place to do this?  Some sample code would be appreciated.  Thanks.

column.render is the right place to define title for tooltip.

Code: [Select]
render: function (ui) {
                   var cellData = ui.cellData;
                   return "<div title=\"" + cellData + "\">" + cellData + "</div>";
               }

and to initialize jQueryUI tooltip, write the following code in jQuery.ready()

Code: [Select]
  $(document).tooltip();


Example: (Please note this example is for basic version but basic idea for tooltip remains the same)
