I have a a dismissible popover(data-trigger=\"focus\") with a text box inside it. But as soon as I click inside the text box to type it dissappear because of the \"data-trigger=
You should use tigger: 'click'
.
$('.BookAppButton').popover({
title : '',
html : 'true',
trigger: 'click',
content:'<div style="border:black 2px solid"><p>Enter name : <input type="text"></input></p></div>'
});
});
Instead of
data-trigger="focus"
you should use
data-trigger="'focus'"
for AngularUI Bootstrap version 2.0 and above.
Clicks on the popover are hiding that popover because they are stealing the browser's focus. As soon as the button loses focus, the popover will be hidden (because we've set data-trigger="focus"
).
To address exact question you asked:
prevent the popover div for hiding on clicking inside it for twitter bootstrap “dismissible popover”(data-trigger=“focus”)?
The simplest way to fix this is to prevent clicks inside the popover from stealing focus by:
preventDefault()
on the caught eventThis will stop the focus from being stolen, and so stop the popover from being closed.
Note: We need to add the event listener on mousedown
rather than click
, because that is when the focus is set by the browser.
A more in-depth explanation of why we use mousedown
and preventDefault()
can be found on this StackOverflow answer:
Prevent firing focus event when clicking on div
$(function() {
$('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover()
})
$('body')
.on('mousedown', '.popover', function(e) {
console.log("clicked inside popover")
e.preventDefault()
});
<html>
<body>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery.min.js"></script>

<a tabindex="0" class="btn btn-danger" data-toggle="popover" data-trigger="focus" title="Dismissible" data-content="Clicks in here won't steal focus">
Dismissible popover
</a>
</body>
</html>
This code works for me, you can dismiss the popover upon any condition by calling preventDefault() method.
var closePopOver=true;
$('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover({
html: true,
title: '',
content: function () {
return 'Your Html Here';
}
}).on('hide.bs.popover', function (hideEvent) {
if (!closePopOver) {
hideEvent.preventDefault();
}
});
