I’m trying to combine the Bootstrap pack from Twitter and an image that I

  • 0

I’m trying to combine the Bootstrap pack from Twitter and an image that I have mapped out so that portions will–when rolled over–produce a popover/tooltip next to the mapped area. Here’s what I’ve done so far:

  1. I mapped using CSS instead of the old Image Map way. The code is below.
  2. The image and the areas on it are visible and highlight when rolled over.

Now I’ve been able to make the popover appear but it is always fixated on the upper left of the image (even when the original image is repositioned).

HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="ISO-8859-1">
<title>Image Map</title>

<link href="bootstrap/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="bootstrap/css/bootstrap-responsive.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet">

<link href="demo.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="style_common.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="style5.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="container">
        <div id="wrapper">
            <a href="#" id="jon" rel="popover" data-original-title="Milage Rate"
                data-content="Content..."><div id="milagerate"></div></a> <a
                href="#"><div id="fairmarketvalue"></div></a> <a href="#"><div
                    id="netassessment"></div></a> <a href="#"><div id="adjustedfmv"></div></a>
            <a href="#"><div id="exemptions"></div></a> <a href="#"><div
                    id="taxablevalue"></div></a>
        </div>
    </div>

    <script src="jquery-1.7.2.js"></script>
    <script src="bootstrap/js/bootstrap-tooltip.js"></script>
    <script src="bootstrap/js/bootstrap-popover.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(function() {
            $('#jon').popover({
                placement : 'bottom'
            });
        });
    </script>
</body>
</html>

CSS:

@CHARSET "ISO-8859-1";

a {
    color:white;
}

#wrapper{
    background:white url(PB.jpg) no-repeat 0 0;
    position:relative;
    z-index:0;
    width:530px;
    height:570px;
}

#milagerate {
    position:absolute;
    width:27px;
    height:17px;
    top:346px;
    left:347px;
}

#fairmarketvalue {
    position:absolute;
    width:56px;
    height:15px;
    top:319px;
    left:177px;
}

#netassessment {
    position:absolute;
    width:50px;
    height:17px;
    top:346px;
    left:194;
}

#adjustedfmv {
    position:absolute;
    width:51px;
    height:17px;
    top:346px;
    left:141px;
}

#exemptions {
    position:absolute;
    width:51px;
    height:17px;
    top:346px;
    left:245px;
}

#taxablevalue {
    position:absolute;
    width:51px;
    height:17px;
    top:346px;
    left:295px;
}

#milagerate:hover, #fairmarketvalue:hover, #netassessment:hover, #adjustedfmv:hover, #exemptions:hover, #taxablevalue:hover {
    border:1px solid red;
}

How do I force the popover to appear next to the mapped areas?

    Okay I got some help and I’ve fixed the problems I was initially having. My problem was that the popover code was associated with my anchor (the picture) instead of the contents. That being said, I had to use the individual IDs for each piece of the contents:

    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(function() {
        $('#jon').popover({
            placement : 'right'
        });

        $('#jon2').popover({
            placement : 'right'
        });

        $('#jon3').popover({
            placement : 'right'
        });

        $('#jon4').popover({
            placement : 'right'
        });

        $('#jon5').popover({
            placement : 'right'
        });

        $('#jon6').popover({
            placement : 'right'
        });
    });
</script>

    And in the CSS, I followed this pattern:

    ...
#thing1, #jon3 {
    position:absolute;
    width:50px;
    height:17px;
    top:346px;
    left:194px;
}

#thing2, #jon4 {
    position:absolute;
    width:51px;
    height:17px;
    top:346px;
    left:141px;
}
...

    I’m sure there’s a more elegant way to approach this problem, but for the moment this code works perfectly for me.
