Consider making .tooltip('show') throw an error when the target is display: none

[cvrebert]

This would allow us to drop a callout from the tooltip & popover docs and make the mistake more obvious to our users.

The current callout:

Don't try to show tooltips on hidden elements

Invoking $(...).tooltip('show') when the target element is display: none; will cause the tooltip to be incorrectly positioned.

How can the target's tooltip activate if it's display:none? Do you mean if tooltip is triggered elsewhere in the JS?

[cvrebert]

@itamark $(...).tooltip('show') is what does the activation. Perhaps you're confusing $(...).tooltip(options) (i.e. the initializer) with $(...).tooltip('show')? See also e.g. #13322.
