Bootstrap popover in modal and input-group-addon

Question

I can't get Bootstrap 3.3.5 popover to work. I want the popover to become visible when hovering the input-group-addon, but nothing happens.

My current code:

Javascript:

    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("[data-toggle=popover]").popover({ trigger: 'hover', container: '#imgPopover'});
    });

HTML

<div class="input-group">
    <button id="imgPopover" type="button" class="input-group-addon"  data-toggle="popover" data-placement="bottom" data-content="Content" data-trigger="hover">
        <img src="~/images/absolent-logo.gif" style="max-height: 20px" />
        <span data-bind="html: $parents[1].text.qTempHeader"></span>
    </button>
    <input type="number" class="form-control" data-bind="value: qTemp"/>
</div>

I've tried a bunch of different things, but nothing seems to do it. A push in the right direction would be much appreciated.

the problem is with the container: '#imgPopover' attribute, the div is too small to contain the popover. change it to body and its working.

  $(document).ready(function () { $("[data-toggle=popover]").popover({ trigger: 'hover', container: 'body'}); });
