Either replace double quotes around type  text  with single quotes  Like    lt form gt  lt input type  text   gt  lt  form gt     OR  replace double quotes wrapping data-content with singe quotes  Like  data-content   lt form gt  lt input type  text   gt  lt  form gt

You can load the form from a hidden div element with the Bootstrap-provided hidden class    lt button class  btn btn-default  id  form-popover  gt Form popover lt  button gt    lt div class  hidden  gt     lt form id  form  gt       lt input type  text  class  form-control    gt     lt  form gt   lt  div gt    JavaScript       form-popover   popover       content      form   parent   html        html  true
