Add Bootstrap Popover To A Specific Div Element

I am trying to add a bootstrap popover to a div element that contains arbitrary content like so (but what I came up with doesn't work):

Solution 1:

You have just initialized the popover on button click which should work fine, if you hover over the #popover-target div after button click. If you want to show it after button click with hovering over it, you can use .popover('show') like:

$('.btn').click(function() {
  $('#popover-target').popover({
      trigger: 'hover',
      title: 'Title',
      content: 'Test Content',
      placement: 'bottom'
    })
    .popover('show');
});

Solution 2:

$(function(){
$('.btn').popover({
      container: "body",
      html: true,
      content: function () {
        return'<div class="popover-message">Hello</div>';
      }
    });
    
  
});

$('.btn').click(function(){
      $('#btn').popover();
  });

        This is some content for the section
        that needs to be explained by the popover.
      </p></div><buttonclass="btn">Show popover</button>
