Keyboard support for datatable

Tavishi

I was referring this link :https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/examples/styling/icons.html
So on mouse hover I am able to see the title, but my requirement is to show the title using keyboard.

Is this possible?

Not as far as I am aware. That example uses the title attribute for the button (which is the standard for tooltips in browsers), and I'm not aware of a way that it can be made visible via the keyboard.

Dnt know If you got my question , trying to elaborate my question again.
Please have a look.

I want to show tooltip on keyboard focus.
I tried is using title attribute for button. And then to show the tooltip on focus i have used a javascript function as shown below:

function showTooltip(){
$(".dt-button").tooltip({
disabled: true
}).on("focusin", function () {
$(this)
.tooltip("enable")
.tooltip("open");
}).on("focusout", function () {
$(this)
.tooltip("close")
.tooltip("disable");
}).on("mouseover", function () {
$(this)
.tooltip("enable")
.tooltip("open");
}).on("mouseout", function () {
$(this)
.tooltip("close")
.tooltip("disable");
});
}

Is this correct way for showing ? Or datatable button have any such property for displaying tooltip on keyboard focus.

No, it doesn't.

You'd need to use an external library as you have done.
