How can I keep Bootstrap popovers alive while being hovered?
I think an easy way would be this:
$('.popover').each(function () {
var $this = $(this);
$this.popover({
trigger: 'hover',
content: 'Content Here',
container: $this
})
});
This way the popover is created inside the target element itself. so when you move your mouse over the popover, it's still over the element. Bootstrap 3.3.2 works well with this. Older version may have some problems with animation, so you may want to disable "animation:false"
Test with code snippet below:
Small modification (From the solution provided by vikas) to suit my use case.
- Open popover on hover event for the popover button
- Keep popover open when hovering over the popover box
- Close popover on mouseleave for either the popover button, or the popover box.
$(".pop").popover({
trigger: "manual",
html: true,
animation: false
})
.on("mouseenter", function() {
var _this = this;
$(this).popover("show");
$(".popover").on("mouseleave", function() {
$(_this).popover('hide');
});
}).on("mouseleave", function() {
var _this = this;
setTimeout(function() {
if (!$(".popover:hover").length) {
$(_this).popover("hide");
}
}, 300);

</html>I have came after another solution to this...here is the code
$('.selector').popover({
html: true,
trigger: 'manual',
container: $(this).attr('id'),
placement: 'top',
content: function () {
$return = '<div class="hover-hovercard"></div>';
}
}).on("mouseenter", function () {
var _this = this;
$(this).popover("show");
$(this).siblings(".popover").on("mouseleave", function () {
$(_this).popover('hide');
});
}).on("mouseleave", function () {
var _this = this;
setTimeout(function () {
if (!$(".popover:hover").length) {
$(_this).popover("hide")
}
}, 100);
});
Here's my take: http://jsfiddle.net/WojtekKruszewski/Zf3m7/22/
Sometimes while moving mouse from popover trigger to actual popover content diagonally, you hover over elements below. I wanted to handle such situations – as long as you reach popover content before the timeout fires, you're safe (the popover won't disappear). It requires delay option.
This hack basically overrides Popover leave function, but calls the original (which starts timer to hide the popover). Then it attaches a one-off listener to mouseenter popover content element's.
If mouse enters the popover, the timer is cleared. Then it turns it listens to mouseleave on popover and if it's triggered, it calls the original leave function so that it could start hide timer.
var originalLeave = $.fn.popover.Constructor.prototype.leave;
$.fn.popover.Constructor.prototype.leave = function(obj){
var self = obj instanceof this.constructor ?
obj : $(obj.currentTarget)[this.type](this.getDelegateOptions()).data('bs.' + this.type)
var container, timeout;
originalLeave.call(this, obj);
if(obj.currentTarget) {
container = $(obj.currentTarget).siblings('.popover')
timeout = self.timeout;
container.one('mouseenter', function(){
//We entered the actual popover – call off the dogs
clearTimeout(timeout);
//Let's monitor popover content instead
container.one('mouseleave', function(){
$.fn.popover.Constructor.prototype.leave.call(self, self);
});
})
}
};
