twitter bootstrap popover doesn't work with angularjs

Question

I was trying to use twitter bootstrap popover on my webpage when I discover that it doesn't work when it is placed below a <div> with ng-repeat. It works fine at the top within a div class that doesn't contain ng- does anyone know why did it happen and how can I work around the issue?

<h3>Students Without Team</h3>
 <div class="accordion" id="studentNoTeamAccordion" >
         <a href="#" class="btn btn-large btn-primary" rel="popover"data-html="true"
            data-content="
               <form>
                   <textarea class='input-xlarge' rows='12' type='text'></textarea>  
                   <P>
                      <input class='btn btn-primary' type='submit' value='Send' />
               </form>"
            data-placement="right" data-original-title="Enquiries">Send Enquiries
        </a>
  <div class="accordion-group" ng-repeat="(key,val) in stud_finding"><
      <a href="#" class="btn btn-large btn-primary" rel="popover"data-html="true"
         data-content="
               <form>
                   <textarea class='input-xlarge' rows='12' type='text'></textarea> 
                   <P>
                       <input class='btn btn-primary' type='submit' value='Send' />
               </form>"

I don't see why this question got down-voted. It's a good example on how to understand the principle of scopes in angular. A scope is basically attached to a DOM element. All the controllers, repeats, etc. will only work in this DOM element (the scope). When Boostrap creates a popover, it creates a new DOM element and appends it to body, so now it's out of the scope (it is not in the element any more). That's a key feature to understand about Angular.

Luckily, Bootstrap has the solution. Popover has a container option that lets you append the popover to a specific element instead of body. Put there the jQuery selector of the DOM element that has the angular controller. http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/javascript.html#popovers (see Options)
