[Solved] Viewport not working with absolute positioning.

[thoughtpalette]

JS Code

initializeToolTip: function () {
        $(".offer-item").each(function () {
            $(this).hover().qtip({
                content: {
                    text: 'loading...',
                    title: {
                        button: true
                    },
                    ajax: {
                        url: '/Fakepath/ToolTips/ToolTipHover',
                        type: 'GET'
                    }
                },
 
                style: {
                    classes: { tooltip: 'auction-item-tooltip' }
                },
 
                show: {
                    solo: true
                },
 
                position: {                
                    viewport: $(window),
                    target: $(this),
                    my: 'top right',
                    at: 'top right',
                    adjust: {
                        method: 'flip flip',
                        x: 280,
                        y: -20
                    }
                },
 
                hide: 'unfocus'
 
            });
        });
 
    },
 
    initializeCloseToolTip: function () {
        $('a.close-tooltip').live("click", function (e) {
            e.preventDefault();
            $(this).parents('.qtip').qtip('hide');
        });
    }

Trying to get the last element to flip sides when outside of the window to no avail. Been looking at position.container and viewport to no avail. Anybody know if I'm doing something wrong? I have 5 <article>'s with tool tips next to each other, then on the last one I want the positioning to switch to 'top left' and opposite positioning.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks for your time! Awesome plugin btw!

Here's some SS's of whats going on.

Well first make sure you're using qTip2, since that's the forum you've posted in and the syntax you're using If you ARE using qTip2, then the above should work as expected.

I assure you I'm using QTip2 ;}

In jquery.qtip.min.js

It's still not working. does the viewport option work with using the absolute positioning option?

I have this cross posted on stackoverflow http://stackoverflow.com/questions/94892...ositioning

Thanks for the quick response Craig, lovely plugin.

Oh sorry, I totally missed the absolute positioning part. Can you setup a test case on jsfiddle http://jsfiddle.net/fdavn

Removed the ajax call and inner content (using Razor models) for clarity.

If you re-size the [Results] window to where all the divs line up, you can see on hover of the last one, that it doesn't re-position. :{

Let me know if there's anything else I can do to make this easier for you.

Thanks again Craig!

Well the viewport positioning is working, it just seems like it isn't thanks to the adjust.x/y settings you've set! Remove those and you can see it working

I need it at that position per the design comps :{

It's alright, apparently my lead wrote some scripts when he used your plugin on another site where it calculates the window size and flips it based on left or right. We'll probably end up using that.

Good to know viewport and absolute position don't work in tandem though!

Thanks again Craig!

[Craig]

That's not absolute positioning though... you're just adjusting the positioning calculated by qTip? If you basically want it at the top right of the div you can achieve as you've done using the position parameters

[thoughtpalette]

What are the x/y coordinates for if not setting an offset/hard position? The element in theory is "absolutely" positioned based on the coordinates provided through the plugin options.

[Craig]

They are to "adjust" the currently calculated position, hence why it's inside the position.adjust object If you want to position it absolutely i.e. set it's left/top position manually, use the syntax below, as detailed in the documentation: http://craigsworks.com/projects/qtip2/do...on/#target

JS Code

position: {
	target: [100, 100] // [ left, top ]
}
