Answer 1

To position a jQuery UI Tooltip relative to a specific element, use the position option with coordinates relative to the target element. Here's how:

Solution:

$(function() {

  $("#targetElement").tooltip({

    content: "This is a custom-positioned tooltip",

    position: {

      my: "left+20 center",  // Tooltip position (relative to itself)

      at: "right center",     // Position relative to target element

      of: $("#targetElement") // The element to align with

    }

  });

});

HTML Example:

<button id="targetElement">Hover Me</button>
