Show table in a tooltip with jQuery

Question

I'm trying to show HTML code inside a tooltip (div, table,...), but it doesn't show up and it doesn't show any errors. If I use the <span> tag with some text inside it, it works correctly. But I need to insert more HTML code inside it. How can I fix it? Only works with <span> tag, and I don't know how to solve this problem, any help? Why is this happening?

$(document).ready(function() {
	//Tooltips
	$(".tip_trigger").hover(function(){
		tip = $(this).find('.tip');
		tip.show(); //Show tooltip
	}, function() {
		tip.hide(); //Hide tooltip		  
	}).mousemove(function(e) {
		var mousex = e.pageX + 20; //Get X coodrinates
		var mousey = e.pageY + 20; //Get Y coordinates
		var tipWidth = tip.width(); //Find width of tooltip
		var tipHeight = tip.height(); //Find height of tooltip
		
		//Distance of element from the right edge of viewport
		var tipVisX = $(window).width() - (mousex + tipWidth);
		//Distance of element from the bottom of viewport
		var tipVisY = $(window).height() - (mousey + tipHeight);
		  
		if ( tipVisX < 20 ) { //If tooltip exceeds the X coordinate of viewport
			mousex = e.pageX - tipWidth - 20;
		} if ( tipVisY < 20 ) { //If tooltip exceeds the Y coordinate of viewport
			mousey = e.pageY - tipHeight - 20;
		} 
		tip.css({  top: mousey, left: mousex });
	});
});

body {
	margin: 0; padding: 0;
	font: normal 12px Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
	line-height: 1.8em;
	color: #333;
}
	
* {
	outline: none;
}
img {border: none;}

a {color: #d60000; text-decoration: none;}

/*--Tooltip Styles--*/
.tip {
	display: inline-block;
	color: #fff;
	background:#1d1d1d;

	padding:10px;
	position:absolute;	z-index:1000;

	border-radius: 3px;
}

Your issue is with the type of elements you put inside of other elements.

For example:

You can not put a <div> inside of an <a> or a <p>

See here: Putting <div> inside <p> is adding an extra <p>

I updated your example code with a working one.

$(document).ready(function() {
	//Tooltips
	$(".tip_trigger").hover(function(){
		tip = $(this).siblings('.tip');
		tip.show(); //Show tooltip
	}, function() {
		tip.hide(); //Hide tooltip		  
	}).mousemove(function(e) {
		var mousex = e.pageX + 20; //Get X coodrinates
		var mousey = e.pageY + 20; //Get Y coordinates
		var tipWidth = tip.width(); //Find width of tooltip
		var tipHeight = tip.height(); //Find height of tooltip
		
		//Distance of element from the right edge of viewport
		var tipVisX = $(window).width() - (mousex + tipWidth);
		//Distance of element from the bottom of viewport
		var tipVisY = $(window).height() - (mousey + tipHeight);
		  
		if ( tipVisX < 20 ) { //If tooltip exceeds the X coordinate of viewport
			mousex = e.pageX - tipWidth - 20;
		} if ( tipVisY < 20 ) { //If tooltip exceeds the Y coordinate of viewport
			mousey = e.pageY - tipHeight - 20;
		} 
		tip.css({  top: mousey, left: mousex });
	});
});

body {
	margin: 0; padding: 0;
	font: normal 12px Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;

}
img {border: none;}

a {color: #d60000; text-decoration: none;}
