How to imitate bootstrap's tooltip without bootstrap

Working with my next project, I had to come up with an idea to imitate tooltip bootstrap style without bootstrap. So, I did some research and found excellent resource. This example gave the idea how create fully-customized tooltip for my project.  Here's an example how I used the sample:

HTML:

<div id="top-menu-bar-buttons">

                  <div class="button1 icon-location-left"><button class="btn-secondary tooltips" type="button">Cancel<span class="width60">Cancel</span></button></div>

                  <div class="button2 icon-location-left"><button class="btn-secondary tooltips" type="button">Preview<span class="width60">Preview</span></button></div>

                  <div class="button3 icon-location-left"><button class="btn-primary tooltips" type="button"><div id="top-menu-bar-button3-text">Review Job</div><i class="fa fa-chevron-right fa-lg"></i><span class="width75">Review Job</span></button></div>

</div>

CSS:

button.tooltips {

  position: relative;

  display: inline;

}

button.tooltips span {

  position: absolute;

  color: #FFFFFF;

  background: #000000;

  height: 19px;

  line-height: 18px;

  text-align: center;

  visibility: hidden;

  border-radius: 6px;

  font-size: 12px;

  font-weight: normal;

}

button.tooltips span:after {

  content: '';

  position: absolute;

  bottom: 100%;

  left: 50%;

  margin-left: -8px;

  width: 0; height: 0;

  border-bottom: 8px solid #000000;

  border-right: 8px solid transparent;

  border-left: 8px solid transparent;

}

button:hover.tooltips span {

  visibility: visible;

  opacity: 0.8;

  top: 40px;

  bottom: 30px;

  left: 100%;

  margin-left: -76px;

  z-index: 999;

}

.width60 {

    width: 60px;

}

.width75 {

    width: 75px;

}

CSS: Default values

Every CSS style has a natural default value. It's just not always none.

Some may be 0 (as in zero).

Some may be auto.

Sometimes inherit is the best option.

Colours can be set to transparent.

If you're unsure what the default is, try creating a dummy page with just a plain unstyled element, and use the browser dev tools to see what the styles are set to.

Starting with LESS in .NET environment.

Researching the topic above I did not find anything useful for my project. Therefore my team lead and I found out pretty good way to implement LESS in out Bootstrap-Knockout environment.

1. Download less-1.7.0.min.js from LESS site and add to your scripts folder.

2. Open HTML file and add the line.
<script src="Scripts/less-1.7.0.min.js"></script>

3. Using Visual studio, create .less file and add line to HTML file before js-files.
<link rel="stylesheet/less" type="text/css" href="Content/custom/css/hello1.less">

4. Open web.config file and after(underneath) <system.web> add
<system.webServer>
    <staticContent>
      <mimeMap fileExtension=".less" mimeType="text/css" />
    </staticContent>
  </system.webServer>

Now you can play with .less files in .NET environment.

Border around inputs

Working on my project, I had problems with Chrome presentation of some elements. It creates border automatically around many elements. I had to find a cure for the problem. The answer is in such a good article. It works and removes border around elements in Chrome and Safari.

Disabled Tooltip

My last project runs on Bootstrap-Knockout platform.  I'm learning a lot about presenting elements in this environment. One of the major problem is to hide tooltip for Mobile views.
I searched the Internet and did not find a lot of information about such problem. One of the articles was particularly good, but I still have to find my original solution. My code disables the tooltip for Mobile users and save button functionality.
Here's what I did.

HTML:
<button class="btn btn-default btn-primary" type="button" data-bind="text: RequiresConfig == true ? 'Create' : 'Add to Cart',tooltip: { title: RequiresConfig == true ? 'Create' : 'Add to Cart', placement: 'bottom', disable: false }"></button>

Javascript/jQuery (accompanies HTML).
<script type='text/javascript'>
        jQuery(function ($) {
            if (/Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry|IEMobile|Opera Mini/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
                ko.bindingHandlers.tooltip = {
                    options: {
                        disable: true
                    }
                };
                ko.applyBindings({});
            }
        });
    </script>

It's not a bug!

This time QA was right. They discovered some differences in landscape and portrait views in iPhone. It's only Safari and only iPhone does this. It re-sizes the font and images going from portrait to landscape. It's not a bug, it's a iPhone feature. To fix the issue, I found an article and patched my code. Very simple line of code fixes the feature.

html {-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;}

It was a very good learning experience for me.

How create gradient color without images...

Working on a new assignment, I had to find a way to generate gradient color.  I decided to educate myself and learn online gradient generator. First of all, I found a good one, for a second, using online tool, I generated a nice piece of code for my project.
