Target a Tooltip and search the DOM

Author Posts

Heads up! this post was created when Microthemer was at version 5. The current version is 7. Some references to the interface may be out of date.

How does one target a tooltip in Microthemer? I would like to change the style according to device and would like to target the HTML elements that I have configured in the tooltip.

Also, is there a way to search the DOM displayed in the Advanced view? Is there a way to expand the Advanced view?

Thanks!

Hey,

That’s a good question. Because tooltips normally aren’t clickable, and then disappear when the mouse is moved away from the tooltip-triggering element. Could you please send me a link to your page with tooltips if the information below doesn’t give you what you need?

I found a workaround for jQuery UI tooltips which involves using Chrome’s browser inspector, rather than the Microthemer DOM inspector. I found a way to hack the tooltip behaviour so it doesn’t go away by doing: Right-click > Inspect as soon as the tooltip displays.

See this video for a demo: http://somup.com/cFVql6Vwni

And this video shows how to override native tooltips with HTML tooltips that can be styled with CSS (for others reading this post): http://somup.com/cFVqlaVwnD

In answer to your search question, you can use Control+F after clicking Microthemer’s HTML pane to search it.

You can’t currently expand the height of the advanced targeting controls. I know that would be a useful feature for the future. You can dock the targeting controls to the right to give the HTML pane more height, but personally I find the HTML easier to read when it wraps in the top-docked view.

I hope this help, I’m here if you need further assistance.

Thanks!
