I would like to create a custom look for a tooltip.
<h:outputText value="blarg" title="tooltip">
Plese do not tell me to use rich:tooltip as I have tried and they have a bug where it extends past a data table. So I was wondering if it is possible to actually style the jsf’s outputText tooltip.
If you know how to, please give me pointers.
Thank you. Have a good day.
You cannot style a tooltip using plain vanilla HTML/CSS. You really need JavaScript for this as well which walks through the HTML DOM tree and “converts” every
titleattribute into some hidden fancy looking<div>which gets shown duringonmouseover.Since RichFaces already ships with jQuery, it should be possible to grab a jQuery plugin for that. For example, the qTip plugin.
It should technically be a matter of finetuning the CSS associated with the
<rich:tooltip>.
