jquery ui tooltip manual open /close

Question

is there a way to manually open close the jquery ui tooltip? I just want it to react to a click event toggling on/off. You can unbind all mouse events and it will rebind t

Answer 1

If you want to just unbind the events and woudn't like to make your own custom tooltip.

$("#some-id").tooltip(tooltip_settings)
             .on('mouseout focusout', function(event) {
                  event.stopImmediatePropagation();
             });

$("#some-id").attr("title", "Message");
$("#some-id").tooltip("open");

mouseout blocks the tooltop disappearing by moving the mouse cursor

focusout blocks the tooltop disappearing by keyboard navigation
