Test with code snippet below:
Small modification (From the solution provided by vikas) to suit my use case.
- Open popover on hover event for the popover button
- Keep popover open when hovering over the popover box
- Close popover on mouseleave for either the popover button, or the popover box.
$(".pop").popover({
trigger: "manual",
html: true,
animation: false
})
.on("mouseenter", function() {
var _this = this;
$(this).popover("show");
$(".popover").on("mouseleave", function() {
$(_this).popover('hide');
});
}).on("mouseleave", function() {
var _this = this;
setTimeout(function() {
if (!$(".popover:hover").length) {
$(_this).popover("hide");
}
}, 300);
});<!DOCTYPE html>
