Tips for incorporating a tooltip into a disabled selectpicker option

A selectpicker I have is filled with various languages, listed as `li` tags within a `ul` tag. You can see an example in the image provided below.

It's noticeable that the `+ Add Language` option in the selectpicker is disabled. This occurs because the corresponding `option` in the html's `select` is disabled, as shown in the following image:

https://i.stack.imgur.com/pZ66j.png

The issue at hand is: although the selectpicker picks up the select option and applies all the properties, it doesn't display the title (found in the `select`'s `option`: `title="My Title"`) when hovering over the disabled `li` tag. My theory is that the disabled class on this `li` tag is overriding the title behavior by adding a banning icon.

Please advise on how to enable this behavior while using select picker. I want the title to show when hovering over the disabled option.

Answer №1

To customize the content, you can utilize the data-content attribute

The documentation provides an example:

<select class="selectpicker">
  <option data-content="<span class='label label-success'>Relish</span>">Relish</option>
</select>

This attribute allows you to define a template for the output, where you can include a title attribute.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-select/1.10.0/js/bootstrap-select.min.js"></script>
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-select/1.10.0/css/bootstrap-select.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

Language:
<select class="selectpicker">  
    <option data-content="<span title='English'>English</span>">English</option>
    <option disabled title="My Title" data-content="<span title='+ Add Language'>+ Add Language</span>">+ Add Language</option>    
</select>

Answer №2

Here's the code I came up with, according to a top source:

<select class="selectpicker"> 
    <option value="add" data-content='<span data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="bottom" title="My Tooltip Title">+ Add Language</span>'>+ Add Language</option>
</select>
