I'm currently using popovers with Twitter Bootstrap, initiated like this:
$('.popup-marker').popover({
html: true,
trigger: 'manual'
}).click(function(e) {
$(this).popover('toggle');
e.preventDefault();
});
As you can see, they're triggered manually, and clicking on .popup-marker (which is a div with a background image) toggles a popover. This works great, but I'd like to also be able to close the popover with a click anywhere else on the page (but not on the popover itself!).
I've tried a few different things, including the following, but with no results to show for it:
$('body').click(function(e) {
$('.popup-marker').popover('hide');
});
How can I close the popover with a click anywhere else on the page, but not with a click onthe popover itself?
This question is related to
javascript
jquery
twitter-bootstrap
@RayOnAir, I have same issue with previous solutions. I come close to @RayOnAir solution too. One thing that improved is close already opened popover when click on other popover marker. So my code is:
var clicked_popover_marker = null;
var popover_marker = '#pricing i';
$(popover_marker).popover({
html: true,
trigger: 'manual'
}).click(function (e) {
clicked_popover_marker = this;
$(popover_marker).not(clicked_popover_marker).popover('hide');
$(clicked_popover_marker).popover('toggle');
});
$(document).click(function (e) {
if (e.target != clicked_popover_marker) {
$(popover_marker).popover('hide');
clicked_popover_marker = null;
}
});
For some reason none of the other solutions here worked for me. However, after a lot of troubleshooting, I finally arrived at this method which works perfectly (for me at least).
$('html').click(function(e) {
if( !$(e.target).parents().hasClass('popover') ) {
$('#popover_parent').popover('destroy');
}
});
In my case I was adding a popover to a table and absolutely positioning it above/below the td that was clicked. The table selection was handled by jQuery-UI Selectable so I'm not sure if that was interfering. However whenever I clicked inside the popover my click handler which targeted $('.popover') never worked and the event handling was always delegated to the $(html) click handler. I'm fairly new to JS so perhaps I'm just missing something?
Anyways I hope this helps someone!
I had some problem to get it working on bootstrap 2.3.2. But i sloved it this way:
$(function () {
$(document).mouseup(function (e) {
if(($('.popover').length > 0) && !$(e.target).hasClass('popInfo')) {
$('.popover').each(function(){
$(this).prev('.popInfo').popover('hide');
});
}
});
$('.popInfo').popover({
trigger: 'click',
html: true
});
});
All of the existing answers are fairly weak, as they rely on capturing all document events then finding active popovers, or modifying the call to .popover().
A much better approach is to listen for show.bs.popover events on the document's body then react accordingly. Below is code which will close popovers when the document is clicked or esc is pressed, only binding event listeners when popovers are shown:
function closePopoversOnDocumentEvents() {
var visiblePopovers = [];
var $body = $("body");
function hideVisiblePopovers() {
$.each(visiblePopovers, function() {
$(this).popover("hide");
});
}
function onBodyClick(event) {
if (event.isDefaultPrevented())
return;
var $target = $(event.target);
if ($target.data("bs.popover"))
return;
if ($target.parents(".popover").length)
return;
hideVisiblePopovers();
}
function onBodyKeyup(event) {
if (event.isDefaultPrevented())
return;
if (event.keyCode != 27) // esc
return;
hideVisiblePopovers();
event.preventDefault();
}
function onPopoverShow(event) {
if (!visiblePopovers.length) {
$body.on("click", onBodyClick);
$body.on("keyup", onBodyKeyup);
}
visiblePopovers.push(event.target);
}
function onPopoverHide(event) {
var target = event.target;
var index = visiblePopovers.indexOf(target);
if (index > -1) {
visiblePopovers.splice(index, 1);
}
if (visiblePopovers.length == 0) {
$body.off("click", onBodyClick);
$body.off("keyup", onBodyKeyup);
}
}
$body.on("show.bs.popover", onPopoverShow);
$body.on("hide.bs.popover", onPopoverHide);
}
tweaked @David Wolever solution slightly:
function closePopoversOnDocumentEvents() {
var visiblePopovers = [];
var $body = $("body");
function hideVisiblePopovers() {
/* this was giving problems and had a bit of overhead
$.each(visiblePopovers, function() {
$(this).popover("hide");
});
*/
while (visiblePopovers.length !== 0) {
$(visiblePopovers.pop()).popover("hide");
}
}
function onBodyClick(event) {
if (event.isDefaultPrevented())
return;
var $target = $(event.target);
if ($target.data("bs.popover"))
return;
if ($target.parents(".popover").length)
return;
hideVisiblePopovers();
}
function onBodyKeyup(event) {
if (event.isDefaultPrevented())
return;
if (event.keyCode != 27) // esc
return;
hideVisiblePopovers();
event.preventDefault();
}
function onPopoverShow(event) {
if (!visiblePopovers.length) {
$body.on("click", onBodyClick);
$body.on("keyup", onBodyKeyup);
}
visiblePopovers.push(event.target);
}
function onPopoverHide(event) {
var target = event.target;
var index = visiblePopovers.indexOf(target);
if (index > -1) {
visiblePopovers.splice(index, 1);
}
if (visiblePopovers.length == 0) {
$body.off("click", onBodyClick);
$body.off("keyup", onBodyKeyup);
}
}
$body.on("show.bs.popover", onPopoverShow);
$body.on("hide.bs.popover", onPopoverHide);
}
Try data-trigger="focus" instead of "click".
This solved the problem for me.
The accepted solution gave me some issues (clicking on the '.popup-marker' element of the opened popover made the popovers not work afterwards). I came up with this other solution that works perfectly for me and it's quite simple (I'm using Bootstrap 2.3.1):
$('.popup-marker').popover({
html: true,
trigger: 'manual'
}).click(function(e) {
$('.popup-marker').not(this).popover('hide');
$(this).popover('toggle');
});
$(document).click(function(e) {
if (!$(e.target).is('.popup-marker, .popover-title, .popover-content')) {
$('.popup-marker').popover('hide');
}
});
UPDATE: This code works with Bootstrap 3 as well!
$('.popForm').popover();
$('.conteneurPopForm').on("click",".fermePopover",function(){
$(".popForm").trigger("click");
});
To be clear, just trigger the popover
Add btn-popover class to your popover button/link that opens the popover. This code will close the popovers when clicking outside of it.
$('body').on('click', function(event) {
if (!$(event.target).closest('.btn-popover, .popover').length) {
$('.popover').popover('hide');
}
});
I give all my popovers anchors the class activate_popover. I activate them all at once onload
$('body').popover({selector: '.activate-popover', html : true, container: 'body'})
to get the click away functionality working I use (in coffee script):
$(document).on('click', (e) ->
clickedOnActivate = ($(e.target).parents().hasClass("activate-popover") || $(e.target).hasClass("activate-popover"))
clickedAway = !($(e.target).parents().hasClass("popover") || $(e.target).hasClass("popover"))
if clickedAway && !clickedOnActivate
$(".popover.in").prev().popover('hide')
if clickedOnActivate
$(".popover.in").prev().each () ->
if !$(this).is($(e.target).closest('.activate-popover'))
$(this).popover('hide')
)
Which works perfectly fine with bootstrap 2.3.1
I would set the focus to the newly created pop-over and remove it on blur. That way it's not needed to check which element of the DOM has been clicked and the pop-over can be clicked, and selected too: it will not lose its focus and will not disappear.
The code:
$('.popup-marker').popover({
html: true,
trigger: 'manual'
}).click(function(e) {
$(this).popover('toggle');
// set the focus on the popover itself
jQuery(".popover").attr("tabindex",-1).focus();
e.preventDefault();
});
// live event, will delete the popover by clicking any part of the page
$('body').on('blur','.popover',function(){
$('.popup-marker').popover('hide');
});
This one works like a charm and I use it.
It will open the popover when you click and if you click again it will close, also if you click outside of the popover the popover will be closed.
This also works with more than 1 popover.
function hideAllPopovers(){
$('[data-toggle="popover"]').each(function() {
if ($(this).data("showing") == "true"){
$(this).data("showing", "false");
$(this).popover('hide');
}
});
}
$('[data-toggle="popover"]').each(function() {
$(this).popover({
html: true,
trigger: 'manual'
}).click(function(e) {
if ($(this).data("showing") != "true"){
hideAllPopovers();
$(this).data("showing", "true");
$(this).popover('show');
}else{
hideAllPopovers();
}
e.stopPropagation();
});
});
$(document).click(function(e) {
hideAllPopovers();
});
This question was also asked here and my answer provides not only a way to understand jQuery DOM traversal methods but 2 options for handling the closing of popovers by clicking outside.
Open multiple popovers at once or one popover at a time.
Plus these small code snippets can handle the closing of buttons containing icons!
I do it as below
$("a[rel=popover]").click(function(event){
if(event.which == 1)
{
$thisPopOver = $(this);
$thisPopOver.popover('toggle');
$thisPopOver.parent("li").click(function(event){
event.stopPropagation();
$("html").click(function(){
$thisPopOver.popover('hide');
});
});
}
});
Hope this helps!
This is even easier :
$('html').click(function(e) {
$('.popup-marker').popover('hide');
});
$('.popup-marker').popover({
html: true,
trigger: 'manual'
}).click(function(e) {
$(this).popover('toggle');
e.stopPropagation();
});
Even though there are a lot of solutions here, i'd like to propose mine as well, i don't know if there is some solution up there that solves it all, but i tried 3 of them and they had issues, like clicking on the popover it self makes it hide, others that if i had another popover buttons clicked both/multiple popovers would still appear (like in the selected solution), How ever, This one fixed it all
var curr_popover_btn = null;
// Hide popovers function
function hide_popovers(e)
{
var container = $(".popover.in");
if (!container.is(e.target) // if the target of the click isn't the container...
&& container.has(e.target).length === 0) // ... nor a descendant of the container
{
if( curr_popover_btn != null )
{
$(curr_popover_btn).popover('hide');
curr_popover_btn = null;
}
container.hide();
}
}
// Hide popovers when out of focus
$('html').click(function(e) {
hide_popovers(e);
});
$('.popover-marker').popover({
trigger: 'manual'
}).click(function(e) {
hide_popovers(e);
var $popover_btns = $('.popover-marker');
curr_popover_btn = this;
var $other_popover_btns = jQuery.grep($($popover_btns), function(popover_btn){
return ( popover_btn !== curr_popover_btn );
});
$($other_popover_btns).popover('hide');
$(this).popover('toggle');
e.stopPropagation();
});
I like this, simple yet effective..
var openPopup;
$('[data-toggle="popover"]').on('click',function(){
if(openPopup){
$(openPopup).popover('hide');
}
openPopup=this;
});
Another solution, it covered the problem I had with clicking descendants of the popover:
$(document).mouseup(function (e) {
// The target is not popover or popover descendants
if (!$(".popover").is(e.target) && 0 === $(".popover").has(e.target).length) {
$("[data-toggle=popover]").popover('hide');
}
});
I had a similar need, and found this great little extension of the Twitter Bootstrap Popover by Lee Carmichael, called BootstrapX - clickover. He also has some usage examples here. Basically it will change the popover into an interactive component which will close when you click elsewhere on the page, or on a close button within the popover. This will also allow multiple popovers open at once and a bunch of other nice features.
Usage example
<button rel="clickover" data-content="Show something here.
<button data-dismiss='clickover'
>Close Clickover</button>"
>Show clickover</button>
javascript:
// load click overs using 'rel' attribute
$('[rel="clickover"]').clickover();
An even easier solution, just iterate through all popovers and hide if not this.
$(document).on('click', '.popup-marker', function() {
$(this).popover('toggle')
})
$(document).bind('click touchstart', function(e) {
var target = $(e.target)[0];
$('.popup-marker').each(function () {
// hide any open popovers except for the one we've clicked
if (!$(this).is(target)) {
$(this).popover('hide');
}
});
});
I was trying to make a simple solution for a simple issue. Above posts are good but so complicated for a simple issue. So i made a simple thing. Just added a close button. Its perfect for me.
$(".popover-link").click(function(){
$(".mypopover").hide();
$(this).parent().find(".mypopover").show();
})
$('.close').click(function(){
$(this).parents('.mypopover').css('display','none');
});
<div class="popover-content">
<i class="fa fa-times close"></i>
<h3 class="popover-title">Title here</h3>
your other content here
</div>
.popover-content {
position:relative;
}
.close {
position:absolute;
color:#CCC;
right:5px;
top:5px;
cursor:pointer;
}

It's an extension of twitter bootstrap popover and will solve the problem very simply.
I came up with this:
My scenario included more popovers on the same page, and hiding them just made them invisible and because of that, clicking on items behind the popover was not possible. The idea is to mark the specific popover-link as 'active' and then you can simply 'toggle' the active popover. Doing so will close the popover completely.
$('.popover-link').popover({ html : true, container: 'body' })
$('.popover-link').popover().on 'shown.bs.popover', ->
$(this).addClass('toggled')
$('.popover-link').popover().on 'hidden.bs.popover', ->
$(this).removeClass('toggled')
$("body").on "click", (e) ->
$openedPopoverLink = $(".popover-link.toggled")
if $openedPopoverLink.has(e.target).length == 0
$openedPopoverLink.popover "toggle"
$openedPopoverLink.removeClass "toggled"
I found this to be a modified solution of pbaron's suggestion above, because his solution activated the popover('hide') on all elements with class 'popup-marker'. However, when you're using popover() for html content instead of the data-content, as I'm doing below, any clicks inside that html popup actually activate the popover('hide'), which promptly closes the window. This method below iterates through each .popup-marker element and discovers first if the parent is related to the .popup-marker's id that was clicked, and if so then does not hide it. All other divs are hidden...
$(function(){
$('html').click(function(e) {
// this is my departure from pbaron's code above
// $('.popup-marker').popover('hide');
$('.popup-marker').each(function() {
if ($(e.target).parents().children('.popup-marker').attr('id')!=($(this).attr('id'))) {
$(this).popover('hide');
}
});
});
$('.popup-marker').popover({
html: true,
// this is where I'm setting the html for content from a nearby hidden div with id="html-"+clicked_div_id
content: function() { return $('#html-'+$(this).attr('id')).html(); },
trigger: 'manual'
}).click(function(e) {
$(this).popover('toggle');
e.stopPropagation();
});
});
If you're trying to use twitter bootstrap popover with pjax, this worked for me:
App.Utils.Popover = {
enableAll: function() {
$('.pk-popover').popover(
{
trigger: 'click',
html : true,
container: 'body',
placement: 'right',
}
);
},
bindDocumentClickEvent: function(documentObj) {
$(documentObj).click(function(event) {
if( !$(event.target).hasClass('pk-popover') ) {
$('.pk-popover').popover('hide');
}
});
}
};
$(document).on('ready pjax:end', function() {
App.Utils.Popover.enableAll();
App.Utils.Popover.bindDocumentClickEvent(this);
});
Here's my solution, for what it's worth:
// Listen for clicks or touches on the page
$("html").on("click.popover.data-api touchend.popover.data-api", function(e) {
// Loop through each popover on the page
$("[data-toggle=popover]").each(function() {
// Hide this popover if it's visible and if the user clicked outside of it
if ($(this).next('div.popover:visible').length && $(".popover").has(e.target).length === 0) {
$(this).popover("hide");
}
});
});
jQuery(':not(.popup-marker)').once().click(function(){
jQuery('.popup-marker').hide();
});
This should work in Bootstrap 4:
$("#my-popover-trigger").popover({_x000D_
template: '<div class="popover my-popover-content" role="tooltip"><div class="arrow"></div><div class="popover-body"></div></div>',_x000D_
trigger: "manual"_x000D_
})_x000D_
_x000D_
$(document).click(function(e) {_x000D_
if ($(e.target).closest($("#my-popover-trigger")).length > 0) {_x000D_
$("#my-popover-trigger").popover("toggle")_x000D_
} else if (!$(e.target).closest($(".my-popover-content")).length > 0) {_x000D_
$("#my-popover-trigger").popover("hide")_x000D_
}_x000D_
})Explanation:
Here is the solution which worked very fine for me, if it can help :
/**
* Add the equals method to the jquery objects
*/
$.fn.equals = function(compareTo) {
if (!compareTo || this.length !== compareTo.length) {
return false;
}
for (var i = 0; i < this.length; ++i) {
if (this[i] !== compareTo[i]) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
};
/**
* Activate popover message for all concerned fields
*/
var popoverOpened = null;
$(function() {
$('span.btn').popover();
$('span.btn').unbind("click");
$('span.btn').bind("click", function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
if($(this).equals(popoverOpened)) return;
if(popoverOpened !== null) {
popoverOpened.popover("hide");
}
$(this).popover('show');
popoverOpened = $(this);
e.preventDefault();
});
$(document).click(function(e) {
if(popoverOpened !== null) {
popoverOpened.popover("hide");
popoverOpened = null;
}
});
});
read "Dismiss on next click" here http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#popovers
You can use the focus trigger to dismiss popovers on the next click, but you have to use use the <a> tag, not the <button> tag, and you also must include a tabindex attribute...
Example:
<a href="#" tabindex="0" class="btn btn-lg btn-danger"
data-toggle="popover" data-trigger="focus" title="Dismissible popover"
data-content="And here's some amazing content. It's very engaging. Right?">
Dismissible popover
</a>
