Do not close a popover when the mouse is hovering on it

[abitdodgy]

Since we can use HTML in a popover, it would be useful if the popover stayed opened when the mouse is hovering over it. This gives the user a chance to read something then click a link.

As it stands, the popover fades onMouseOut, or based on the delayOut argument. In order to use a link in the popover, we have to use a delayOut anyway to give the popover a chance to stay after onMouseOut.

But then the popover can disappear while hovering over the link.

This isn't possible with the current markup. Maybe in 2.0

Proposed a fix, #702 .

so is this working?

[aaronsnow]

Yup! It wasn't accepted (see thread; closed 'til 2.0) but I'm using my fork
in private builds and it works great.

Sure -- one of the beauties of github is you can download the version I committed: https://github.com/aaronsnow/bootstrap/blob/71048b06f8d11332f7db0348a6d6514937b7a823/js/bootstrap-twipsy.js

Thx you so much!!

I've made a commit to make the popover stay when mouse is hovering over it and automatically hide when the mouse leaves the popover. Very useful in some cases. Hope it helps : abhishekdelta@01c3334

Are you planing to merge this into core?

[abhishekdelta]

According to FAT, Bootstrap v2 already has this functionality.

Not in the stable release, at least. Nor in the demo: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/javascript.html#popovers
