How can I hold Twitter Bootstrap Popover open until my mouse moves into it?

Question

I have a link that uses the Twitter Bootstrap Popover version 1.3.0 to show some information. This information includes a link, but every-time I move my mouse from the link

This issue on the bootstrap github repo deals with this problem. fat pointed out the experimental "in top/bottom/left/right" placement. It works, pretty well, but you have to make sure the popover trigger is not positioned statically with css. Otherwise the popover won't appear where you want it to.

HTML:

Hover me to show a popover.

CSS:

/*CSS */
.myClass{ position: relative;}

JS:

$(function(){
  $('.myClass').popover({placement: 'in top'});
});
