ajax hover,javascript - Hover twice for ajax to load - Stack Overflow

This is because the first time you hover (which is actually the mouseenter event) the ajax function loads the data and changes the title, but the mouseenter event has already fired and your tooltip is already open so it's too late.

Your best bet is to directly alter the tooltip rather than change the title of the original element.

What you should actually do is change both and alter your hover function to check for a title so that next time the hover occurs you don't need to load the information again, rather refer to the title you've already populated.

Hope that helps :)
