• @Skelly It doesn't appear to be a duplicate. Sankalp, is the above HTML the output after the jQuery has run, or is the HTML delivered to the browser as you have written it? – seangates Commented May 20, 2013 at 18:09

Bootstrap tooltip usage:

<a rel="next" href="http://roadmap.private/?p=28" title="Tooltip on top">Fedrer</a>

$(function(){
    $('span.arUp a').tooltip({
        placement: 'top'
    });
});

and make sure you include the bootstrap js file.

Since you are using the data-*, you are using the auto mode of the tooltip, which it automatically adds itself to the elements it finds.

Since you are adding the data-* with JS instead of directly into the HTML, you need:

• Add the .js file AFTER your additions

or

• Call $('span.arUp a').tooltip after your code.

If you need the tooltip feature to work with dynamic elements, you can try this:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $("body").tooltip({
        selector: '[data-toggle="tooltip"]'
    });
});

Then, whenever an element has an attribute data-toggle="tooltip", a tooltip will be applied, without having to run JavaScript/jQuery code.
