the usage of parameter container in bootstrap popover?
bootstrap-popover, javascript, popover, twitter-bootstrap
Solution
It's hard to know what you're asking, especially because you didn't provide any code examples. Please read How do I ask a good question?
However, to show you an example of container option usage, I have created a JSFiddle.
Comment out each line of javascript to see the different effects (scroll up and down in the result frame). Don't forget to press Run when you change the code.
HTML
<div style="height: 100px;">
<br />Static text.</div>
<div style="position: fixed; width: 100%;" id="fixed-div">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-container="body" data-toggle="popover" data-placement="bottom" data-content="Vivamus
sagittis lacus vel augue laoreet rutrum faucibus." id="popover">Popover</button>
</div>
<div style="height: 2000px;"></div>
Javascript
// comment this
$('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover({container: "body"});
// uncomment this
//$('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover({container: "#fixed-div"});
Problem
in most cases I found on internet, the `container` was set to `'body'` What I encountered: bootstrap popover shows on a fixed div content, when you scroll page, popover moves too. I change the param container to my specific DIV `#search-filter-container`, nothing changed. UPDATE: what now `.popover` DIV appears within body at last even I set `container: '#some-my-div'` ``` <div class="popover fade right in" style="top: 429.5px; left: 680px; display: block;"> code details... </div> </body> ```
