Twitter bootstrap – Can't change bootstrap Tooltip title

I’ve already looked over several posts on stack overflow asking virtually the exact same question yet none of what I found on those questions has helped. I’m very new to JQuery and Bootstrap so maybe I’m just missing some really simple thing.

I want to be able to to change the title of the tooltip on different elements after the first initialization(ideally multiple times after initialization.) A simplified version of what I’m dealing with:

<canvas id="bag0"  data-toggle="tooltip" title="test">
</canvas>
...
<script src="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>

$(document).ready(function(){
            $('#bag0').data('tooltip',false)          
                  .tooltip({ title: 'new text'});
            $('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip();

});

This method to change the title was given from posting: How to overwrite twitter bootstrap tooltip?

The tooltip always reads “test.” I’ve tinkered with a few others things to no avail. I suspect I’m overlooking something obvious.

    This might help

    $('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').attr("title","NEW TEXT");

    If you want to for a particular element, say a <div>

    $('div[data-toggle="tooltip"]').attr("title","NEW TEXT");

    $(element).attr('title', 'NEW_TITLE').tooltip('fixTitle').tooltip('show');

    Above code might help you.

    $.tooltip(string) calls any function within the Tooltip class. And if you look at Tooltip.fixTitle, it fetches the data-original-title attribute and replaces the title value with it.

    You can use the element id or class to make it more specific.

    I may be a bit too late but my solution to this was to change the data-original-title

    $(‘.sample’).attr(‘data-original-title’: ‘new title’);

    This changes the bootstrap tool tip title automatically.

    Try following,

    $(document).ready(function(){
            $('#bag0').attr('title', 'new text')
                  .tooltip('destroy') // if you are using BS4 use .tooltip('dispose')
                  .tooltip({ title: 'new text'});
            $('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip('show');

});
    <canvas id="bag0"  data-toggle="tooltip" title="test">
</canvas>

    I have a solution for similiar case. I change the title in tooltip dynamicaly with ajax.

    • first just enable the tooltips:

      $(‘[data-toggle="tooltip"]’).tooltip()

    • Then change the title attribute, then re init the tooltip

    $("#foo").attr('title','TheNewTitle');
$('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip('dispose');
$('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip()
