How do you change the width and height of Twitter Bootstrap's tooltips?

Question

I created a tooltip using Twitter Bootstrap.

The tooltip is displaying with three lines. However, I would like to display the tooltip with only one line.

How

Answer 1

Just override the default max-width to whatever fits your needs.

.tooltip-inner {
  max-width: 350px;
}

When max-width doesn't work (option 1)

If max-width does not work, you could use a set width instead. This is fine, but your tooltips will no longer resize to fit the text. If you don't like that, skip to option 2.

.tooltip-inner {
  width: 350px;
}

Correctly dealing with small containers (option 2)

Since Bootstrap appends the tooltip as a sibling of the target, it is constrained by the containing element. If the containing element is smaller than your max-width, then max-width won't work.

So, when max-width doesn't work, you just need to change the container:

Pro Tip: the container can be any selector, which is nice when you only want to override styles on a few tooltips.
