I would like to show a tooltip on a text input that has a ui-state-disabled
class.
I took a peek to the tooltip source code and I couldn't find something that checks against that particular class. So I don't know why it won't show.
As far as I can tell, the elements aren't disabled per se, they just have a class applied to them.
So, how can I show a tooltip on elements that have that class? I don't want to use a wrapper or anything like that. Maybe extending through widget factory...
Here's a sample code
HTML
<input name="#1" class="text" data-tooltip="message A">
<input name="#2" class="text" data-tooltip="message B">
<br>
<button id="disable">disable input #2</button>
<button id="enable">enable input #2</button>
JS
$(".text").each(function()
{
$(this).tooltip({
content: $(this).data("tooltip"),
items: ".text"
});
});
$("#disable").click(function()
{
$("input[name='#2']").addClass("ui-state-disabled");
});
$("#enable").click(function()
{
$("input[name='#2']").removeClass("ui-state-disabled");
});

As I've stated in my question, I needed to get this working without adding a container or anything like that. And I was willing to extend the widget somehow...
So I read the source code more carefully and searched throught the whole repository for ui-state-disabled
, and found that in widget.js there is an _on()
method that at some point performs a check against that class and a flag called suppressDisabledCheck
A comment in code says
// Allow widgets to customize the disabled handling
// - disabled as an array instead of boolean
// - disabled class as method for disabling individual parts
This was very important, it gave me the clue that this check could be overriden. So a quick search in google and the widget factory had the answer:
Automatically handles disabled widgets: If the widget is disabled or the event occurs on an element with the ui-state-disabled class, the event handler is not invoked. Can be overridden with the suppressDisabledCheck parameter.
So basically I did this:
$.widget("ui.tooltip", $.ui.tooltip,
{
options: {
allowOnDisabled: false
},
_on: function()
{
var instance = this;
this._super(instance.options.allowOnDisabled, {
mouseover: "open",
focusin: "open",
mouseleave: "close",
focusout: "close"
});
}
});
And then used it like this:
$(".text").each(function()
{
$(this).tooltip({
allowOnDisabled: true,
content: $(this).data("tooltip"),
items: ".text"
});
});
EDIT 2022-09-15
I was having some trouble with this implementation, so I've changed it a little bit
$.widget("ui.tooltip", $.ui.tooltip,
{
options: {
allowOnDisabled: false
},
_create: function()
{
this._super();
var instance = this;
this._on(instance.options.allowOnDisabled, {
mouseover: "open",
focusin: "open",
mouseleave: "close",
focusout: "close"
});
}
});
