Bootstrap: Tooltip doesn't hide when parent element removed

[sirNemanjapro]

As mentioned before, the problem with the tooltip is active again in 3.1.1.

As mentioned before, duplicate of #3084, which was closed as CANTFIX/WONTFIX and which states what the workaround is.
Exact duplicate of #13130.

Well, someone should fix it. @cvrebert

[cvrebert]

@fat Is this fixable?

[hnrch02]

I'm not @fat, but you simply can't. jQuery doesn't provide a way to detect when elements are removed from the DOM. That said, I don't understand why it is so hard to do this.

[cvrebert]

Also, this only happens when using container: 'body'. Contrast: http://jsfiddle.net/BbJSJ/1/

@cvrebert Please change status of this issue to OPEN.

Solutions presented by @hnrch02 and @cvrebert are working as a hack, but I am a firm believer that we shouldn't use hacks to make something so obvious to work.

Also, solution presented, has a flaw. Once you click on the button, to remove the row, the tooltip flickers for a second before being removed.

btw.
I have to use container: body since its messing up the DOM when there is no body flag in jQuery.

[hnrch02]

That isn't a hack; did you read what I previously stated? jQuery does not fire an event when an element is removed from the DOM—there is no way for us to detect removal without patching jQuery, which I would consider a hack and definitely not something appropriate for Bootstrap.

[sirNemanjapro]

@hnrch02 I thought http://api.jquery.com/on/ was used for those kind of things.

[hnrch02]

$.fn.on is used for binding handler functions to events, but there is no point in listening for an event which is never fired.

[sirNemanjapro]

@hnrch02 I'm sorry I might not completely understand this, but have you even looked at the example? In example, a .on was used for .click after which the element was .remove from DOM.

[cvrebert]

I am now ignoring this thread due to the lack of cluefulness that is on display.
@sirNemanjapro Do you comprehend the meaning of "CANTFIX"?

[sirNemanjapro]

@cvrebert Please do ignore this and any other bug related issue concerning any of the projects here at github. I do believe that would be in the best interest of everyone. Marking the issue closed, since its obvious a lot of people are having a problem with this is counter productive, to say the least.

I suggest that a unified method and/or case is created in Bootstrap for the specific occasion when the tooltip is used on elements that can/could be removed. I don't think that would create a too much of a load on Bootstrap's resources, and it would help developers having a quality framework.

[hnrch02]

You obviously can not propose a solution to this problem yourself, still you demand that "somebody" should fix it already—even after someone took the time and presented a perfectly good solution to your problem. This is ridiculous and not worth anybody's time, especially not the maintainers'.

[sirNemanjapro]

@hnrch02 Excuse me for being busy at work and not having time to fix that what someone else created and labeled it "deal with it", but rather presenting a possible method of solution.

"Solution" presented here is not really a solution, its more of a hack used on case per case basis.

[hnrch02]

There are lots of "possible methods of solution" for all kinds of problems, but those methods don't help much. Code or it doesn't exist.
