Putting table into Bootstrap popover

Question

I have a Bootstrap popover and I'm trying to put a table into it but then it doesn't show up when I click on it. This is the first time attempting HTML inside a popover so I'm unsure how to go about doing it correctly. Thanks!

$(function(){
    $("[data-toggle=popover]").popover({
        html : true,
        content: function() {
          var content = $(this).attr("data-popover-content");
          return $(content).children(".popover-body").html();
        },
        title: function() {
          var title = $(this).attr("data-popover-content");
          return $(title).children(".popover-heading").html();
        }
    });
});

 <a role="button" class="btn btn-link btn-item black-text" data-toggle="popover" data-trigger="focus" data-placement="top" title="Currency Converter" data-content="Displayed rates are only for informational purposes and do not reflect on the actual rates you may be charged by the financial institution handling your transaction.
<table class='table table-condensed table-bordered'>
<tr><td>Euro</td><td>€79,123</td></tr>
<tr><td>GB Pound</td><td>£46,536</td></tr>
<tr><td>AU $</td><td>$123,456</td></tr>

This may help:

HTML:

<div id="myPopoverContent">
<table border="1" style="width:100%">
    <tr>
        <td>Jill</td>
        <td>Smith</td>
        <td>50</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Eve</td>
        <td>Jackson</td>
        <td>94</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>John</td>
        <td>Doe</td>
        <td>80</td>
    </tr>
</table>

jQuery:

$('[data-toggle=popover]').popover({

   content: $('#myPopoverContent').html(),
   html: true

}).click(function() {
   $(this).popover('show');
});

Solution 2

This worked for me:

$(function() {
    $.fn.popover.Constructor.Default.whiteList.table = [];
    $.fn.popover.Constructor.Default.whiteList.tr = [];
    $.fn.popover.Constructor.Default.whiteList.td = [];
    $.fn.popover.Constructor.Default.whiteList.div = [];
    $.fn.popover.Constructor.Default.whiteList.tbody = [];
    $.fn.popover.Constructor.Default.whiteList.thead = [];

    $('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover({
        html: true,
        container: 'body'
    })
})

<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary" tabindex="0" data-toggle="popover" data-trigger="focus" data-popover-content="#a1" data-placement="right">Popover Example</a>
<div id="a1" class="hidden">
  <div class="popover-heading">Title <span style="float:right;cursor:pointer;" class="fa fa-times" data-toggle="popover"></span></div>

      </tr>
    </table>
  </div>
</div>


$(function() {
  $("[data-toggle=popover]").popover({
    html: true,
    content: function() {
      var content = $(this).attr("data-popover-content");
      return $(content).children(".popover-body").html();
    },
    title: function() {
      var title = $(this).attr("data-popover-content");
      return $(title).children(".popover-heading").html();
    }
  });
});

Here is how I did it:

HTML:

<div class="span12" style="margin-top: 150px;width:100%">
   <a tabindex="0" role="button" data-trigger="focus" class="btn-sm btn-info" data-placement="top" id="commentPopover"><i class="fa fa-comments" ></i> View</a>
   <!-- Popover 2 hidden content -->
   <div id="commentPopoverHiddenContent" style="display: none">
      <div>
         <table border="1" style="width:100%">
            <tr>
               <th width="30%">Comment date</th>
               <th width="70%">Comment</th>
            </tr>
            <tr>
               <td>12/03/2015 16:45</td>
               <td>*Username - Testing1</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
               <td>12/03/2015 16:55</td>
               <td>*Username - Testing2</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
               <td>12/03/2015 17:13</td>
               <td>*Username - Testing3</td>
            </tr>
         </table>
      </div>
   </div>
   <!-- Popover 2 hidden title -->
   <div id="commentPopoverHiddenTitle" style="display: none">
      Error comments
   </div>
 </div>

JQuery:

$(function(){
// Enabling Popover Example 2 - JS (hidden content and title capturing)
$("#commentPopover").popover({
    html : true, 
    content: function() {
      return $('#commentPopoverHiddenContent').html();
    },
    title: function() {
      return $('#commentPopoverHiddenTitle').html();
    }
});
});

I am not sure whether thats the main cause or not but you are missing a quotation mark - " - on your button. At the very end where it says handling your transaction.

[Jason]

I feel like you are trying to embed HTML tags inside of HTML tags, which seems like very bad practice at the very least.

[Rachel S]

@user2190986 t here is no quotation mark there because the content still continues.

[Rachel S]

@Jason how do I make such a popover with HTML? I need that table in there. A modal takes up whole screen.

[Skywalker]

@RachelS see answer please.

[Rachel S]

Yes, I ended up using something like this and it worked.

[John Doe]

How would you handle it if you were creating a dynamic table?

[shafeeq]

Working solution... Could you please explain what is the line $.fn.popover.Constructor.Default.whiteList.xxxxxx means?

[Tomasz Puwalski]

People using Bootstrap 5 should replace $.fn.popover.Constructor.Default.whiteList. [...] with bootstrap.Tooltip.Default.allowList. [...] for every allowed HTML tag.

[Paul Serikov]

Solution if working with old Bootstrap 2.1, but not working with new version 4.6
