   $("#tp_no"+m).tooltip({
        open: function (e, o) {
        o.tooltip.animate({ top: o.tooltip.position().top + 10 }, "fast" );

        },
        content: function() { return cellTpNoTooltipContent()},
        close: function (e, o) {},

        }

   });

   $("#tp_no"+m).tooltip('open');
       setTimeout(function () {
       $(this).tooltip('close'); //close the tooltip
       }, 3000);

function cellTpNoTooltipContent()

  var rval = "T.P No. is exist";
  return rval;
}

function display_tp_tooltip_close(m)
{
  $("#tp_no"+m).tooltip("close");
}

How can i solve it? Please help me.

Answer 1

I found that declaring bootstrap.js before jquery-ui.js in my caused the problem. Make sure that jquery-ui.js is declared before bootstrap.js.

Answer 2

You'll need to prevent the jQuery UI library from overwriting jQuery.fn.tooltip.

So cache this value before loading the jQuery UI library, then restore it afterward:

<script>
    let _tooltip = jQuery.fn.tooltip; // <--- Cache this
</script>
<script src="/path/to/jquery-ui.min.js"></script> <!-- load jQuery UI -->
<script>
    jQuery.fn.tooltip = _tooltip; // <--- Then restore it here
</script>

Answer 3

Declare jquery-ui.js before the bootstrap.js

Answer 4

You can't call a method from the tooltip widget (e.g .tooltip('close') ) before the widget has been initialized, either with a call to .tooltip() or .tooltip({ })

You can prevent this error by testing that the DOM element is an instance of the tooltip widget:

if($("#tp_no"+m).is(':ui-tooltip')){
  $("#tp_no"+m).tooltip("close");
}

Another option would be to move the call to $("#tp_no"+m).tooltip(); as the first thing inside your while(m < 10) loop to ensure that whichever branch your if statement takes, the element will be an instance of the tooltip widget
