Keep Twitter Bootstrap Tooltip open on mouseleave

Solution found. Manual Trigger does the trick - here is the updated code:

$('.taskTooltip').tooltip({trigger: 'manual'}).tooltip('show');

Use unbind() after show : it will remove all event handler and thus the tooltip won't hide on mouseleave

$(".circle").tooltip("show");
$(".circle").unbind();
.circle{
margin-left:100px;
margin-top:80px;
width:10px;
height:10px;
background-color:#0088ff;
border-radius:50%;
border:1px solid #ff8800;

}
