Highcharts tooltip overflow is hidden - javascript

My problem is that when the chart drawing area of is smaller than a highchart tooltip, a part of the tooltip is hidden where it overflows the chart drawing area.
I want the tooltip to be visible all the time, no matter the size of the chart drawing area.
No CSS setting helped and no higher z-index setting helped either.
Here is my example... http://twitpic.com/9omgg5
Any help will be mostly apreciated.
Thank you.

This css helped me:
.highcharts-container { overflow: visible !important; }

OK, sorry for the delay. I could not find a better solution, but I found a workaround.
Here is what I did and what I suggest everyone to try:
Set the tooltip.useHTML property to true (now you can have more control with html and CSS). Like this:
tooltip: {
useHTML: true
}
Unset all the default tooltip peoperties that may have something to do with the default tooltip functionalities. Here is what I did...
tooltip: {
shared: false,
borderRadius: 0,
borderWidth: 0,
shadow: false,
enabled: true,
backgroundColor: 'none'
}
Make sure that your chart container's css property "overflow" is set to visible. Also make sure that all DOM elements (div, section, etc....) that hold your chart container also have the css "overflow" property set to "visible". In this way you will make sure that your tooltip will be visibile at all times as it overflows his parent and his other "ancestors" (Is this a correct term? :)).
Customize your tooltip formatter as you wish, using standard CSS styling. Here is what I did:
tooltip.formatter: {
< div class ="tooltipContainer"> Tooltip content here < /div >
}
This is how it all looks like:
tooltip: {
tooltip.formatter: {
< div class ="tooltipContainer"> Tooltip content here < /div >
},
useHTML: true,
shared: false,
borderRadius: 0,
borderWidth: 0,
shadow: false,
enabled: true,
backgroundColor: 'none'
}
If you have a better solution, please post.

A modern approach (Highcharts 6.1.1 and newer) is to simply use tooltip.outside (API):
Whether to allow the tooltip to render outside the chart's SVG element box. By default (false), the tooltip is rendered within the chart's SVG element, which results in the tooltip being aligned inside the chart area. For small charts, this may result in clipping or overlapping. When true, a separate SVG element is created and overlaid on the page, allowing the tooltip to be aligned inside the page itself.
Quite simply this means setting this one value to true, for example:
Highcharts.chart('container', {
// Your options...
tooltip: {
outside: true
}
});
See this JSFiddle demonstration of how setting this value to true fixes space/clipping issues.

Adding simply this CSS worked in my case (minicharts in table cells):
.highcharts-container svg {
overflow: visible !important;
}
The tooltip option useHtml was not required:
tooltip: {
useHTML: false
}
Works on both IE8/9 & FF33.1 (FF was causing trouble).

I recently got the same problem, but with bootstrap container ! (bs3)
None of those solutions worked but I found by my own.
Its due to bootstrap _normalizer properties
svg:not(:root) {
overflow: hidden !important;
}
So add both :
.highcharts-container, svg:not(:root) {
overflow: visible !important;
}

I know the question is old but I just wanted to share my solution, it's based on the other two answers but I think that you obtain a better-looking result with this code:
Tooltip options:
tooltip: {
useHTML: true,
shared: false,
borderRadius: 0,
borderWidth: 0,
shadow: false,
enabled: true,
backgroundColor: 'none',
formatter: function() {
return '<span style="border-color:'+this.point.color+'">' + this.point.name + '</span>';
}
}
CSS:
.highcharts-container {
overflow: visible !important;
}
.highcharts-tooltip span>span {
background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0.85);
border:1px solid;
padding: 2px 10px;
border-radius: 2px;
}
#divContainerId .highcharts-container{
z-index: 10 !important; /*If you have problems with the label hiding behind some other div or chart play with z-index*/
}

None of the solutions worked for me. When the tooltip was bigger than the chart it simply didn't show.
Eventually we realized that Highcharts actually hides the tooltip in the class highcharts-tooltip-box, so the solution is to set it to inherit which the class default:
.highcharts-tooltip-box {
visibility: inherit !important;
}
After that overflow still need to be set to visible:
.highcharts-container,
svg:not(:root),
.chart-container {
overflow: visible !important;
}
And make sure to set the z-index higher in the container if you're having any problems.

I would just like to add an example and prove that .highcharts-tooltip-box
doesn't have to be set for overflow to work.
/* .highcharts-tooltip-box {
visibility: inherit !important;
} */
.highcharts-container,
svg:not(:root),
.chart-container {
overflow: visible !important;
}

Handsontable in Handsontable Dropdown Height Adjustment

How to allow fixed height in this dropdown menu? (Column Car)
I have been fiddling endlessly to fix the height issue. I want a fixed height dropdown menu max 300px. I have used AutoRowSize height feature and other height features within the handsontable site, but none seem to have worked.
I have run out of ideas. Any suggestions or alternatives I can try?
I am using Handsontable in Handsontable feature (Found Here).
Fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/72dgoLva/3/
columns: [
{
type: 'handsontable',
handsontable: {
colHeaders: ['Marque', 'Country', 'Parent company'],
autoColumnSize: true,
data: manufacturerData,
getValue: function() {
var selection = this.getSelectedLast();
// Get always manufacture name of clicked row
return this.getSourceDataAtRow(selection[0]).name;
},
}
},
{type: 'numeric'}
]
.handsontableEditor .ht_master {
height: 300px;
overflow-y: auto !important;
width: calc(100% + 2px);
}
.handsontableEditor .ht_clone_top {
transform: none !important;
}
... seems to do the job. Updated fiddle.
I had to use !important to override inline styles placed by HoT on elements, on the fly. To limit the chances of this affecting other instances, prefix selectors with a specific identifier for this instance.

Display parts of subtitle on different sides with HighCharts

I have HichChart with subTitle. I want to style it, that one part of this text was on left and another on right side.
I've tried to do this using inline css and turn on html for subTitle.
Sample what I have
subtitle: {
text: '<b>This is</b> <span style="float : right !important;text-align: right !important;">the subtitle</span>',
floating: true,
align: 'left',
x: 100,
y: 60,
useHTML : true
}
But this doesn't help.
It is not optimal , but you can overwrite the css style like this fiddle
#container .highcharts-container .highcharts-subtitle {
width:calc(100% + -120px); /*customize this to your needs*/
}
Hope it helps
I added a right position to the subtitle so that it has a full width, otherwise your float does nothing, the only thing i don't understand is why i have to add the left position with the same value as x so that the "subtitle text" doesn't end up outside the chart.
this what i added
style: { "right":"10px", "left": "100px" }
if you want more margin to the right, just increase the right property
full fiddle here http://jsfiddle.net/h70sj57r/4/
and this is how it look like if i don't add the left position(again i have no ideea what calculations it does so that you need to add this) http://jsfiddle.net/h70sj57r/5/

Hiding an object using css

I am trying to hide a vertical bar I have created in a jQuery Flot graph when the mouse is not within the bounds of the grid. I set me horizontal bounds for the grid as such: horizontalBounds = [leftOffset, plot.width() + leftOffset];. I then used an if statement to say "if the mouse is within the vertical bounds, do this to the verticalBar.css."
if (position.pageX >= horizontalBounds[0] && position.pageX <= horizontalBounds[1]) {
if (typeof verticalBar !== "undefined" && verticalBar !== null) {
verticalBar.css({
transform: "translate(" + position.pageX + "px, 0px)"
});
}
Below is my css code (which is actually in my javascript file; don't ask...). What do I need to do to hide the verticalBar when the mouse is not within those horizontal bounds? I was thinking I could just add the attribute `visibility: hidden' to the verticalBar.css, but I can't figure out how to do that. Any hints?
verticalBar.css({
backgroundColor: "#F7E4E6",
width: "1px",
height: "100%",
position: "absolute",
padding: 0,
margin: 0,
left: 0,
transform: "translateX(" + plot.getPlotOffset().left + "px)"
});
}
try using "display:none;" in your CSS.
Depending on how you're wanting to hide the bar, you can have something as simple as display: none.
If you're wanting to add in some animations, you could use some jQuery functions to control that particular node.
You could also utilize a set of CSS class name swaps to trigger some CSS animations.
so none of those methods seemed to work for me. I ended up discovering that Flot has a crosshair plugin (flot.crosshair). The crosshair can be configured to act only on the x axis/ x coordinate as it tracks the movement of the mouse. Here is an example of the crosshair tracking in action: Flot Tracking Example.
Once the plugin was added, I was able to get the desired results; as the "vertical bar" only shows up when the cursor is on the grid. Below is really all you need to do to configure it (other than adding the plugin to the appropriate files). Hope this helps someone in the future.
plot = $.plot(
placeholder
data
grid:
clickable: true
hoverable: true
color: "white"
mouseActiveRadius: 1000
tooltip:
show: true
content: '%y'
crosshair:
mode: "x"
color: "#FFFFFF"
lineWidth: 1

Highcharts tooltip auto-resize on content change

I have a Highcharts graph with tooltips that on hover display a loading spinner and fetch via AJAX some data from the server to display. When the request completes the data is put into a span in the tooltip using jQuery, but the new content overflows as the tooltip doesn't resize. Here's my SCSS:
.highcharts-tooltip {
width: auto !important;
height: auto !important;
span {
width: auto !important;
height: auto !important;
}
}
Is there a setting or API function I can use to either have the tooltip automatically resize when its content changes, or force a redraw? Alternatively, is there some CSS I can use to make this work?
N.B. I can set the size of the tooltip manually by setting the height/width of the span above.
I suggest to disable default tooltip and use full responsive / HTML div (use media queries), which will be toolip.
plotOptions: {
series: {
point: {
events: {
mouseOver: function (e) {
$('#tooltip').html('Point value: ' + this.y).css({
top: e.target.plotY - 15,
left: e.target.plotX
}).show();
},
mouseOut: function (e) {
$('#tooltip').hide();
}
}
}
}
},

How to style the container of a jQuery Select2 combo box?

Is it possible to style the combo box container using the Select2 jQuery plugin? I can successfully style the dropdown menu where autocomplete selections appear, but not the container where text is entered. Here's what I'm doing:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#combo").select2({
data:[{id:0,text:'One'},{id:1,text:'Two'}],
multiple: true,
createSearchChoice: function (term) {
return { id: term, text: term };
},
containerCss: 'container',
dropdownCssClass: 'dropdown',
containerCss: {
background: 'green'
}
});
});
<input type="hidden" id="combo" style="width:350px" />
#combo {
background: green;
}
.container {
background: green;
}
.dropdown {
background: red;
}
The container should be green, but it's not. Here's a fiddle.
Edit:
I noticed on the documentation page for the site (which is quite comprehensive) that every example of the kind I'm trying to do (hidden input field with dynamically loaded options) has the same standard style, like in my example fiddle. The version that originates from a select element, however, has rounded corners etc. If this means you can't style the container when using a hidden input, it's seems like an odd limitation.
Edit2:
#emmanuel has already provided a solution, but since I was actually after the border-radius, there was a bit more to do to get it working properly. After setting the radius on all corners, opening the dropdown results in rounded corners visible between the top of the dropdown and the bottom of the container, which is a bit ugly. You can do something like this to fix it:
$('ul.select2-choices').on("select2-open", function() {
$('ul.select2-choices').css({
'border-bottom-left-radius': '0px',
'border-bottom-right-radius': '0px',
});
});
$('ul.select2-choices').on("select2-close", function() {
$('ul.select2-choices').css({
'border-bottom-left-radius': '5px', // or whatever
'border-bottom-right-radius': '5px', // or whatever
});
});
I think this will cause a problem, though, for any other Select2 combo boxes visible on the same page.
In order to add background color to container you have to put the rule to #s2id_combo. The problem is that ul.select2-choices already has a background and it's over container so you have to add:
ul.select2-choices { background: green !important; }
