"Customized Bootstrap button featuring a tooltip and modal, experiencing incorrect padding within the button group design

I encountered an issue with a button-group containing 2 buttons, each with a tooltip and a modal. Bootstrap recommends wrapping the buttons with spans to manage two "data-bs-toggle" attributes, which is what I initially did.

While the functionality works fine and the tooltip displays along with the modal popping up upon button click, I noticed that the tooltip does not show when the cursor is in the padding of the button. Instead, it only works when the cursor is over the span (in this case, the icon).

I attempted to give the span the "d-block w-100" class, but it seems that it is not effective.

Below is my code using Bootstrap 5:

Answer №1

Following CBroe's advice, the solution involved adjusting the padding of the button to 0 and applying padding to the span element instead. Additionally, to ensure spacing worked correctly on the span element, it was essential to set it as display:block.

Within my specific implementation using bootstrap 5, the final resolution entailed:

  • Adding the class p-0 to the button elements
  • Applying the classes d-block p-2 px-3 to the span elements to maintain the original proportions
