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="focus". How do I make the div intelligently not disappear on click inside it? Here is my html :
<head><script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js" ></script>
<script src="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script></head>
<body><div><a class="BookAppButton" href="" data-toggle="popover" data-html="true" data-placement="bottom" data-trigger="focus">Click Here</a></div></body>
Here is my jquery :
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.BookAppButton').click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
console.log("Button Clicked..");
});
$('.BookAppButton').popover({
title : '',
html : 'true',
content:'<div style="border:black 2px solid"><p>Enter name : <input type="text"></input></p></div>'
});
});
This is my jsfiddle link : http://jsfiddle.net/3g3o4xhw/
I am at my wits end.. please help.. Thanks in advance.

To create a popover, add the data-toggle="popover" attribute to an element. Note: Popovers must be initialized with jQuery: select the specified element and call the popover() method.
To create a popover, add the data-bs-toggle="popover" attribute to an element. Note: Popovers must be initialized with JavaScript to work.
Positioning with Margins So to move the popover more to the left, we can add a negative margin-left, or a positive one to move it further to the right. Likewise, we can move the popover more up by adding a negative margin-top, and down by using a positive value.
Set the trigger option of the popover to hover instead of click , which is the default one. Or with an initialization option: $("#popover"). popover({ trigger: "hover" });
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();
}
});
