Content in popover works only with function

[mgrishko]

I tried with the code from demo, and saw a blank content:
a href="#" class="btn danger" rel="popover" data-content="And here's some amazing content. It's very engaging. right?" data-original-title="A title">hover for popover</a

  <script>
        $(function () {
          $("a[rel=popover]")
            .popover({
              offset: 10,
              content: "some other text"
            })
            .click(function(e) {
              e.preventDefault()
            })
        })
      </script>

But if I use this code, all works fine:

     <script>
        $(function () {
          $("a[rel=popover]")
            .popover({
              offset: 10,
              content: function() {return 'some text';}
            })
            .click(function(e) {
              e.preventDefault()
            })
        })
      </script>

I am having same problem, but your work-around doesn't fix it for me.
If you view the source code, their example is slightly different then what you posted, what you posted is what I see when I inspect element, but the source code is more accurate I think...

I'm update code, but first and last symbol in html, < and >,I delete. Because markdown formating link.

[SimonMacIntyre]

I got mine working.

I agree that using a string as value for 'content' option results in no text appearing. Likewise, if you try using a string for the 'title' option, the title appears in the popover but the text will always say 'undefined'.

mikhailaleksandrovi4 is right in that if you pass a function instead of a string and return a string from the function, both the title and content will appear correctly.

This is fixed in 2.0

Also, in 1.* content when a string specifies not a text option, but rather an element attribute to be used to fetch text from. This was changed in 2.0 because it didn't make a lot of sense.

Here's a jsFiddle of it working using functions: http://jsfiddle.net/KGy6Z/2/

(Note this is for Bootstrap 1.4)

This still doesn't work. Try the jsfiddle from swilliams.

[mckramer]

It works fine. That jsFiddle points to the 1.4.0 version of the JS. Here, I forked it to use 2.0.2 version.

[nilskp]

Weird. I did click the 2.0.2 checkbox and it didn't work.

Anyway, thanks for confirming!

[swilliams]

I think if you explicitly add a library with the same functions (like I did with 1.4), it'll override checkboxed ones.
