I spent two days trying to solve this problem but I realized I couldn't do it alone. I'm trying to center my tooltip relative to the parent. This is my code =>
let collection = document.querySelectorAll("[data-text]"); collection.forEach((ele, ind) => { var element = document.createElement("p"); element.className = "tooltip-text"; element.innerText = ele.dataset.text; element.dataset.name = "_" + ele.id + ind; document.getElementById(ele.id).appendChild(element); document.querySelector('#' + ele.id).addEventListener('mouseover', () => { document.querySelector('[data-name="' + element.dataset.name + '"]').style.visibility = 'visible'; }, false); document.querySelector('#' + ele.id).addEventListener('mouseleave', () => { document.querySelector('[data-name="' + element.dataset.name + '"]').style.visibility = 'hidden'; }, false); });
.container { display: flex; background: #ccc; justify-content: center; align-items: center; height: 95vh; } .c-content{ width: 100%; max-width: 800px; position: relative; overflow: hidden; border-radius: 4px; } .toprightcontrols { margin: 0 1.2% 0 0; display: flex; position: absolute; justify-content: flex-end; top: 0; right: 0; width: 150px; padding-top: 0; flex-wrap: nowrap; } .btnClass { padding: 10px; background: none; border: 0; outline: 0; cursor: pointer; align-self: center; justify-self: right; } .btnClass:before { content: url('https://img001.prntscr.com/file/img001/nLMdieVITRSq82yZdqlWOw.png'); } p.tooltip-text { color: black; display: block; visibility: hidden; width: fit-content; position: absolute; border-radius: 2px; z-index: 1; background: white; pointer-events: none; padding: 6px 8px 20.2px 8px; font-size: 1rem; animation: fadein 0.2s ease-in; animation-fill-mode: forwards; } p.tooltip-text:before { content: ""; position: absolute; bottom: 100%; left: 50%; margin-left: -8px; border: 8px solid transparent; border-bottom: 8px solid white; }
<div class="container"> <div id="c-content"> <div class="toprightcontrols"> <span name="btn1" id="btn1" class="btnClass" data-text="Hello there"></span> <span name="xxxxx" id="xxxxx" class="btnClass" data-text="Tooltip"></span> <span name="something" id="something" class="btnClass" data-text="Click me"></span> <span name="randomid" id="randomid" class="btnClass" data-text="I'm a text"></span> </div> </div> </div>
The expected result must be like this =>
Can you help me? I tried using float, text-align, justify-content, margin: 0 auto
and all I saw was centered but nothing worked
Thanks.
Looks like I found the solution. I added:
Center everything, then:
Vertical offset.
Set the element that needs to be the center reference as a relative element. In your case you want to be consistent with
.btnClass
. This way, the class can wrap its contents.You can then center the tooltip. Define the left position as
50%
and usetransform
andtranslateX(-50%)
so that the transform attribute moves -50 of the element itself %, this is already moved 50% to the left, so the result is perfect alignment.Final Results:
