Mpdf css display issues - print vs screen












0















The mpdf specifications state that the display settings inline or block can not be changed.
I am trying to export a PDF that has a css-styled tooltip popping up on screen, but it should be invisible in the PDF.
The printed version is perfect, the on screen version too, only the PDF is wrong.
The following html/css will output the tooltip inline (as if it were part of the text) on the PDF (I want to keep it invisible):



<p>blah <span class="tooltip">hover this to see tooltiptext<div class="tooltiptext"> this information pops up on hovering over the previous words defined in the tooltip class</span> </span> blahblah.</p>


The css:






.tooltip .tooltiptext {
visibility: hidden;
position: absolute;
z-index: 1;}
.tooltip:hover .tooltiptext {visibility: visible;}
@media print {
.tooltip .tooltiptext,.tooltip:hover .tooltiptext { visibility: hidden; display:none;}
}

<p>blah <span class="tooltip">hover this to see tooltiptext<div class="tooltiptext"> this information pops up on hovering over the previous words defined in the tooltip class</span> </span> blahblah.</p>





This shows the tooltiptext on hovering (screen) or keeps it invisible(print), but shows it inline on the pdf:



blah hover this to see tooltiptext this information pops up on overing over the previous words defined in the tooltip class blahblah.


Mpdf does not apply the styling of the span items.
Changing the spans to divs with display inline has the same result on screen and print, but the PDF will show the divs as blocks (with "linebreaks" mid-sentence). It does not take the display:inline styling (according to the mpdf specs):



blah 
hover this to see tooltiptext
blahblah.


I can not seem to find a solution to my problem. Anyone any ideas on how to do this?
