bootstrap popover not showing on top of all elements

Question

I m working on a bootstrap site and after updating to bootstrap 2 2 from 2 0 everything worked except the popover   The popovers still show up fine  but they don t show up on top of all other elements     lt div gt     this sits on top of the popover  this did not happen before cleaning up scripts        lt div gt     popover shows on top of this            lt div gt    popover shows on top of this                  link here with popover in it             lt  div gt        lt  div gt   lt  div gt    Anyone have any idea on why the behavior of the popover changed  or how I can fix it  Thanks

This best solution if you are using angular uib-bootsrap is to Use dependency injection for $uibTooltipProvider, you can change the way tooltips and popovers behave by default for all the tooltips.

$uibTooltipProvider.options({
  appendToBody: true
});

$uibTooltipProvider Through the $uibTooltipProvider, you can change the way tooltips and popovers behave by default; the attributes above always take precedence. The following methods are available:

setTriggers(obj) (Example: { 'openTrigger': 'closeTrigger' }) - Extends the default trigger mappings mentioned above with mappings of your own.

options(obj) - Provide a set of defaults for certain tooltip and popover attributes. Currently supports the ones with the C badge.

It could have to do with the z-index master list on variables less  In general  be sure that your variables less file is correct and up-to-date

The most probable cause is that the content displaying over the popover has a higher z-index  Without the precise code style  I can offer two options    You should try pinpointing the exact elements with a web inspector  usually F12 on your favorite browser  and check their actual z-index   If you find this value  you can set it lower than the popover which is z-index  1010  by default    Or the other approach  not as good  would be to increase the z-index of the popover  You can do that either with the  zindexPopover in the Less files or directly by overriding   popover       z-index  1010     A value higher than 1010 that solves the problem          If you can t find a solution  you should try reproducing the bug in something like this jsfiddle - you will probably resolve the problem while trying to get the bug

I just had a situation that was similar to this  involving the DataTables JQuery library with scrolling enabled   What turned out to be had nothing to do with Z-indices  but with one of the enclosing divs having the CSS overflow property set as hidden    I fixed it by adding an event to my element triggering the popover which also changed the overflow property of the responsible div to visible

I had a similar issue with 2 fixed elements - even though the z-index heirachy was correct  the bootstrap tooltip was hidden behind the one element wth a lower z-index   Adding data-container  body  resolved the issue and now works as expected

Just using      popover  container   body      could be not enough when displaying popover over a BootstrapDialog modal  which also uses body as container and has a higher z-index   I come with this fix which uses internals of Bootstrap3  may not work with 2 x   4 x  but most of modern Bootstrap installations are 3 x   self  anchor on  shown bs popover   function ev        var tipCSS   self  anchor data  tipCSS        if  tipCSS     undefined            self  anchor data  bs popover    tip css tipCSS                          Such way different popovers may have different z-index  some are under BootstrapDialog modal  while another ones are over it

When you have some styles on a parent element that interfere with a popover  you   ll want to specify a custom container so that the popover   s HTML appears within that element instead   For instance say the parent for a popover is body then you can use        lt a href     data-toggle  tooltip  data-container  body  gt  Popover One  lt  a gt    Other case might be when popover is placed inside some other element and you want to show popover over that element  then you ll need to specify that element in data-container  ex  Suppose  we have popover inside a bootstrap modal with id as  modal-two   then you ll need to set  data-container  to  modal-two         lt a href     data-toggle  tooltip  data-container   modal-two  gt  Popover Two  lt  a gt
