I have the following BootStrap popover:
<a href='#' id='example' rel='popover' data-placement='left' data-content='Its so simple to create a tooltop for my website!' data-original-title='Twitter Bootstrap Popover'>HEY</a>
And I want to show it when the page loads, so I added
$('#example').popover('show')
to a function as follows at the end of the document:
<script>
$(function ()
{ $("#example").popover(show);
});
</script>
but nothing happened.
On page load I get nothing. However when I run $('#example').popover('show') in the console I get the popover working. How can I make the popover be shown when the page has loaded?
I found this way to be convenient:
You can trigger the 'show' and set options in one fell swoop:
$('#elementToPointAt').popover({
   'placement':'bottom',
   'content':'Look at me!'
}).popover('show');
                        You forgot the quotes for show. This works:
$(function () { 
  $("#example").popover('show');
});
Full example would be:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <link href="css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
  </head>
  <body>
    <a href='#' id='example' rel='popover' data-placement='right' data-content='Its so simple to create a tooltop for my website!' data-original-title='Twitter Bootstrap Popover'>HEY</a>
    <script src="js/jquery.js"></script>
    <script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
    <script src="js/script.js"></script>
    <script>
      $(function() { 
        $("#example").popover('show');
      });
    </script>
  </body>
</html>
