Including content with HTML Metadata

Frequently used settings like, title, content, html, or offset or variation, can be included in html metadata

Specifying Content

Popups can specify content in three ways:

  • Using html title attribute
  • Using data-content attribute
  • Using data-html for specific html
  • Using the content property in the initialization of the popup

Popups can also specify some other frequently used settings using metadata

  • data-variation: the popup variation to use
  • data-offset: a pixel offset correction for popup
  • data-position: the side to position popup on
  • data-variation: the popup variation to use

Initializing with metadata

Or

Initializing with javascript content

$('.ui.popup') .popup({ content: 'Hello I am a popup' }) ;

Behavior

All the following behaviors can be called using the syntax $('.foo').popup('behavior name', argumentOne, argumentTwo)
show Shows popup
hide Hides popup
hide all Hides all visible pop ups on the page
toggle Toggles visibility of popup
is visible Returns whether popup is visible
is hidden Returns whether popup is hidden
exists Returns whether popup is created and inserted into the page
set position(position) Repositions a popup
remove Removes popup from the page

Specifying a trigger event

A popup trigger event can be specified

$('.example .teal.button') .popup({ on: 'click' }) ; $('.example input') .popup({ on: 'focus' }) ;
Click Me

Target Element

A popup can specify a different target element than itself to show a popup

$('.test.button') .popup({ position : 'top right', target : '.test.image', title : 'My favorite dog', content : 'My favorite dog would like other dogs as much as themself' }) ;
Hover Me

Inline or relative to page

A popup can either be inserted directly after an element, or added as a child element to the page's body.

An inline popup will remain in your page's html after being hidden, while a non-inline popup will remove itself after being hidden.
If you want to style each popup individually it makes sense to keep popup inline: true. If you are worried that your pop up might mistakingly inherit styles that it shouldn't, you should set inline: false.
/* this will only style the popup if inline is true */ .example .popup { color: #FF0000; }
$('.inline.icon') .popup({ inline: true }) ;

Positioning

A popup can be positioned to any side of an element. If space is not available, it will automatically search for a similar alternative position to use.

Specifying an offset

A popup position can be adjusted manually by specifying an offset property using data-offset="value"

Transitions

A popup can use any named ui transition.

Home
$('.selection') .dropdown({ onChange: function(value) { $('.demo.icon') .popup({ transition: value }) .popup('toggle') ; } }) ;
