I am using Twitter Bootstrap v3 to add a 'Invalid login' tooltip to the login button. Here's my code:
$('#login-form').submit(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
$.post('/user/login', $(this).serialize(), function(data) {
if (data.result == true) {
window.location.replace('/');
} else {
var target = $('#login-form button[type="submit"]');
target.tooltip({
title: 'Invalid login',
placement: 'bottom',
trigger: 'manual',
animation: true
});
target.tooltip('show');
setTimeout(function() {
target.tooltip('destroy');
}, 2000);
}
}, 'json')
});
In particular, I am wondering if there is a better way to close the tooltip. I was hoping that I could configure the tooltip plugin to automatically fade after a few seconds. Alternatively, I tried chaining a .fade(2000)
after the call to the 'show' method, but this didn't work.
The above code works, I'm just looking for a more elegant alternative.
