    });

I also use:

$('#main-search').tooltip({'trigger':'focus'});

Answer 1

It is simpler to activate it to all inputs or glyphicons where you want to use a tooltip by just typing the following script:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
                $('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip()
            });
</script>

Inside an input:

<input data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="left" title="Your awesome tip!" type='text' class="form-control" name="name"  placeholder="placeholder" maxlength="10"/>

Inside a glyphicon:

<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="right" title="Open calendar"></span>

This way you don't need to worry about any IDs when using tooltips in several inputs in the same form.

Answer 2

Here is valid HTML markup for tooltip:

<input data-toggle="tooltip" title="tooltip on second input!" type="text" placeholder="Focus me!" name="secondname"/>

And here is jQuery with right placement for tooltip and trigger on focus:

$('input[type=text][name=secondname]').tooltip({ /*or use any other selector, class, ID*/
    placement: "right",
    trigger: "focus"
});

Always look at official docs.
