How can I close a Twitter Bootstrap popover with a

Question

I'm currently using popovers with Twitter Bootstrap, initiated like this:

$('.popup-marker').popover({
        html: true,
        trigger: 'manual'
    }).click(function(e) {
        $(this).popover('toggle');
        e.preventDefault();
    });

As you can see, they're triggered manually, and clicking on .popup-marker (which is a div with a background image) toggles a popover. This works great, but I'd like to also be able to close the popover with a click anywhere else on the page (but not on the popover itself!).

I've tried a few different things, including the following, but with no results to show for it:

$('body').click(function(e) {
    $('.popup-marker').popover('hide');
});

How can I close the popover with a click anywhere else on the page, but not with a click onthe popover itself?

Answer 1

Another solution, it covered the problem I had with clicking descendants of the popover:

$(document).mouseup(function (e) {
    // The target is not popover or popover descendants
    if (!$(".popover").is(e.target) && 0 === $(".popover").has(e.target).length) {
        $("[data-toggle=popover]").popover('hide');
    }
});

I was trying to make a simple solution for a simple issue. Above posts are good but so complicated for a simple issue. So i made a simple thing. Just added a close button. Its perfect for me.

            $(".popover-link").click(function(){
                $(".mypopover").hide();
                $(this).parent().find(".mypopover").show();
        })
        $('.close').click(function(){
    $(this).parents('.mypopover').css('display','none');
});



          <div class="popover-content">
        <i class="fa fa-times close"></i>
    <h3 class="popover-title">Title here</h3>
your other content here
        </div>


   .popover-content {
    position:relative;
    }
    .close {
        position:absolute;
        color:#CCC;
        right:5px;
        top:5px;
        cursor:pointer;
    }

Answer 3

Add btn-popover class to your popover button/link that opens the popover. This code will close the popovers when clicking outside of it.

$('body').on('click', function(event) {
  if (!$(event.target).closest('.btn-popover, .popover').length) {
    $('.popover').popover('hide');
  }
});

Answer 4

An even easier solution, just iterate through all popovers and hide if not this.

$(document).on('click', '.popup-marker', function() {
    $(this).popover('toggle')
})

$(document).bind('click touchstart', function(e) {
    var target = $(e.target)[0];
    $('.popup-marker').each(function () {
        // hide any open popovers except for the one we've clicked
        if (!$(this).is(target)) {
            $(this).popover('hide');
        }
    });
});

Answer 5

This is even easier :

$('html').click(function(e) {
    $('.popup-marker').popover('hide');
});

$('.popup-marker').popover({
    html: true,
    trigger: 'manual'
}).click(function(e) {
    $(this).popover('toggle');
    e.stopPropagation();
});

I had some problem to get it working on bootstrap 2.3.2. But i sloved it this way:

$(function () {
  $(document).mouseup(function (e) {
        if(($('.popover').length > 0) && !$(e.target).hasClass('popInfo')) {
            $('.popover').each(function(){
                $(this).prev('.popInfo').popover('hide');
            });
        }
    });

    $('.popInfo').popover({
        trigger: 'click',
        html: true
    });
});
