How do I use popover from Twitter Bootstrap to display an image?

Solution 1:

Very simple :)

<a href="#" id="blob" class="btn large primary" rel="popover">hover for popover</a>

var img = '<img src="https://si0.twimg.com/a/1339639284/images/three_circles/twitter-bird-white-on-blue.png" />';

$("#blob").popover({ title: 'Look! A bird!', content: img, html:true });

Solution 2:

Sort of similar to what mattbtay said, but a few changes. needed html:true.
Put this script on bottom of the page towards close body tag.

<script type="text/javascript">
 $(document).ready(function() {
  $("[rel=drevil]").popover({
      placement : 'bottom', //placement of the popover. also can use top, bottom, left or right
      title : '<div style="text-align:center; color:red; text-decoration:underline; font-size:14px;"> Muah ha ha</div>', //this is the top title bar of the popover. add some basic css
      html: 'true', //needed to show html of course
      content : '<div id="popOverBox"><img src="http://www.hd-report.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/mr-evil.jpg" width="251" height="201" /></div>' //this is the content of the html box. add the image here or anything you want really.
});
});
</script>

Then HTML is:

<a href="#" rel="drevil">mischief</a>

Solution 3:

simple with generated links :) html:

<span class='preview' data-image-url="imageUrl.png" data-container="body" data-toggle="popover" data-placement="top" >preview</span>

js:

$('.preview').popover({
    'trigger':'hover',
    'html':true,
    'content':function(){
        return "<img src='"+$(this).data('imageUrl')+"'>";
    }
});
