bootstrap tooltip not considering data-placement parameter

Use this order of your jquery and bootstrap js files

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script src="js/bootstrap.min.js" ></script>

Found it!

I was adding bootstrap js before jquery ui and that caused the issue. The same went for some other libraries.

Place bootstrap js at the end !


In my case, the problem came from overflow style.

In this example, when I set overflow: auto for the .container1 element, the tooltip message will be shown wrong.

Since I remove it from .container2, the problem is fixed.

$(document).ready(function () {
  $('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip().tooltip('show');
});
[class^=container] {
  margin: 50px;
  height: 30px;
}

.container1 {
  overflow: auto;
}
