Bootstrap Tooltips Not Displaying On Hover

Question

I've tried a few different ways to get Bootstrap tooltips working. I can't seem to find what's wrong with this. I've used Bootstrap tooltips before and it seems I always have an issue getting them going. Am I missing something obvious here? I'm not getting any JS errors or anything.

I have found the issue.

Working fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/8dfwcL98/

In your case you forgot to add a title property to your element. Title is what is displayed as the tooltip.

<a target='_blank' class='qtooltip btn btn-primary btn-lg btn-block' data-toggle='tooltip' href='http://www.google.ca' title="Awesome Tooltip">google</a>
