Bootstrap 3 - How to change the hyperlink title text showing as tooltip using javascript/jquery?

Tags: javascript,jquery,html,css,twitter-bootstrap

Problem :

I am trying to change the hyperlink title using javascript/jquery when the link is clicked. HTML

<a 
        href="javascript:addRss('234');" 
        class="btn btn-success" 
        title="Add content to Personal RSS" 
        id="addRssbtn" 
        data-toggle="tooltip" >
            <i class="fa fa-rss fa-lg"></i> 
        </a>

CSS

@import url("http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootswatch/3.1.1/cerulean/bootstrap.min.css");
@import url("http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.1.1/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css");
@import url("http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.0.3/css/font-awesome.min.css");

JAVASCRIPT

$(function (){$('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip({});});


function addRss(hash){
        $("#addRssbtn").attr("class", "btn btn-success active");
        $("#addRssbtn").attr("title", "Remove content from Personal RSS");
        $("#addRssbtn").attr("href", "javascript:unaddRss(" + hash + ");");

//some other post data stuff
};

the title gets changed and shows too, only if i am not using

data-toggle="tooltip"

so how can i make the data-toggle="tooltip" to show the new changed title as a tooltip when the link is clicked ?

Solution :

Update the tooltip using the fixTitle option.

$("#addRssbtn").attr("title", "Remove content from Personal RSS")

Becomes

$("#addRssbtn").attr("title", "Remove content from Personal RSS").tooltip('fixTitle');

You can add .tooltip('show'); to show the tooltip straight after:

$("#addRssbtn").attr("title", "Remove content from Personal RSS").tooltip('fixTitle').tooltip('show');
