title: How to deal with hover binds for Bootstrap widgets within Backbone?
body: <p>Stupid question maybe.</p>
  
  <p>If I use Backbone to bind methods to certain events, namely hover, how can I use Bootstrap's widgets that way?</p>
  
  <p>Here's an example (coffee js mix, sorry):</p>
  
  <pre><code>events:
   'mouseover .whatever': 'showPopover'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I obviously don't want showPopover() to bind the popover, like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>showPopover: -&gt;
    $('.whatever').popover(options)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This will cause it to bind every time I hover .whatever, obviously.
  Our current fix is to do something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code> showPopover: -&gt;
     $('.whatever').popover(show).popover(options)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It feels like it's binding every time. If you hover over it a couple times, it will start to flicker (again, seemingly bound each time you hover).</p>
  
  <p>So, am I SOL? Do I need to just drop the Backbone event binding, do my bind via the attach method or something instead?</p>
  
  <p>Let me know if you need more information.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks, everyone :).</p>
