Bootstrap popover width for popover-inner

Question

I would like the have a Bootstrap Popover be wider. I read that this should work:

.popover-inner a {
   width: 600px;
}

But, the browser console still shows auto with the above code. Hard to describe. Here is a snapshot:

Answer 1

Based off of what I have in my bootstrap.css file, the default is a max-width property.

I use this

.popover {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  z-index: 1010;
  display: none;
  max-width: 600px;
  padding: 1px;
  text-align: left;
  white-space: normal;
  background-color: #ffffff;
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
  -webkit-border-radius: 6px;
     -moz-border-radius: 6px;
          border-radius: 6px;
  -webkit-box-shadow: 0 5px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
     -moz-box-shadow: 0 5px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
          box-shadow: 0 5px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
  -webkit-background-clip: padding-box;
     -moz-background-clip: padding;
          background-clip: padding-box;
}

and it works exactly how you intended it to.

My bootstrap.css files does not contain a popover-inner a css selector at all though
