Twitter bootstrap – Dynamically change bootstrap tooltip placement

I tried to change the tooltip placement dynamically but it does not work.

<input type="text" id="sample" title="Tip">
<button name="change me" id="changeBtn">Change Tool Tip!</button>

And for js:

//Initiall tooltip for all elements
$("[title!='']").tooltip();

$("#changeBtn").click(function () {
    //Change tooltip placment
    $("#sample").tooltip({placement : 'left'}).tooltip('show');

})

I found a good answer at Change Twitter Bootstrap Tooltip content on click which shows how to change tooltip text dynamically by using tooltip('fixTitle') method. But could not find something for placement.

    Although I do not like using !important it does help to cheat a little in this case.

    .tooltip {
    left: 12px!important;
}

    You can apply this CSS with the on click.

    Try using “destroy” on the tooltip and bind it again

    $("#sample").tooltip("destroy").tooltip({placement : 'left'}).tooltip('show');

    In Bootstrap 2.x, the answer is:

    $('#sample').data('tooltip').options.placement = 'right';

    However, from Bootstrap 3, all Bootstrap data is namespaced with bs:

    $('#sample').data('bs.tooltip').options.placement = 'right';

    Code:

    $("#changeBtn").click(function () {

    $('#sample').data('tooltip').options.placement = 'left';
    $("#sample").tooltip('show');

});
