need to click twice to trigger .click event on mobile

below is my jquery code for a dropdown menu :
$(function(){
$(".toggleMenu").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(".menu").toggle();
});
var ww = document.body.clientWidth;
if (ww < 1000) {
$(".toggleMenu").css("display", "inline-block");
$(".menu").hide();
$(".menu ul li a").click(function() {
$(this).parent("li").toggleClass('hover');
});
} else {
$(".toggleMenu").css("display", "none");
$(".menu li").hover(function() {
$(this).addClass('hover');
}, function() {
$(this).removeClass('hover');
});
}
})
what i am trying to do is add the class "hover" to the "li" of the clicked "a" so that the drop down menu works properly on mobile deivices(device with less than 1000px in my case). but with the code above, i need to click twice to any "a" element for the dropdown to apper, as far as i am concerned when i click on "a" element, the class "hover" should be added to its parent "li" element and the hidden "ul" under it should be shown(because i have written the css in that manner) but at the moment i should click on the "a" element two times(not double click).The html structure is like:
<ul>
<li>
<a></a>
<ul>
<li><a></a></li>
<li><a></a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

Once clicked and menu open, click go to page - jQuery

Im trying to create a dropdown with jQuery.
So far I have written my code to show the menu, but once open and my users clicks an item, the menu then closes.
Anybody have an idea of how to combat this?
http://jsfiddle.net/8fnhb6yr/
// Language selector
$('.sub-lang').on('click', function(e){
if( $(this).hasClass('active') ){
$(this).removeClass('active');
$(this).css('height', 'auto');
} else {
$(this).addClass('active');
$(this).css('height', $(this).find('ul').height() + 65 );
}
e.preventDefault();
});

Just check also if e.target parent is li.sub-lang like the following
$('.sub-lang').on('click', function(e){
if ($(this).hasClass('active') && $(e.target).parent().hasClass('sub-lang')) {
$(this).removeClass('active');
$(this).css('height', 'auto');
} else {
$(this).addClass('active');
$(this).css('height', $(this).find('ul').height() + 65 );
}
e.preventDefault();
});
li ul {display:none;}
li.sub-lang.active ul {display:block;}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<li class="sub-lang">
English
<ul style="">
<li>International</li>
<li>UK & Ireland</li>
</ul>
</li>

The menu close because you listen to the click event on the menu (.sub-lang).
When you click on a children, the event will "bubble" and the parent will have the event too. So you have to listen to the click event on children too to prevent it to bubble :
$('.sub-lang ul a').click(function(event) {
event.stopPropagation();
event.preventDefault();
});
I edited your fiddle

Dropdown language keys available via keyboard

I have the following dropdown that opens when the mouse hovers it:
Now is it possible to open the same dropdown when the user highlights it via the tab key.
I've tried learning from this: Selecting div in custom dropdown using Keyboard (Up, down and enter keys)
But this not seems to be working.
Thanks to anyone who can help!

$(".context_box, .more_info_box").bind( "clickoutside", function(){

$(".choose_language").bind( "clickoutside", function(){
if (detectmob()) { return;}
$(this).children('ul').hide();
});
// Hide context_box, .more_info_box when mouse is outside of it
$(".context_box, .more_info_box").hover(function(){
var el=this;
$(el).stop(true,false)
},function(){
var el=this;
$(el).delay(700).hide(10)
});
});// end of dom ready

you can do it like this:
You check if the element got focus, and then show it via jQuery.
You can also use blur to check if the element lost focus and hide the drop-down (I added the class last to the last li element, you can do it in a variety of ways).
<a href="/jobs?locale=nl" class="last">
$(document).ready(function () {
$( ".btn_choose_language" ).focus(function() {
$( ".radius5" ).show();
});
$( ".last" ).blur(function() {
$( ".radius5" ).hide();
});
});// end of dom ready

JQuery, Accordion & multiple menus

I am using combination of the Wayfinder and Accordion menu to drive behaviour of the left column menu. This menu has two levels, i.e.:
<ul class="accordion">:
Menu 1
Sub-menu 1.1
Sub-menu 1.2
Sub-menu 1.3
Menu 2
Sub-menu 2.1
Sub-menu 2.2
Menu 3
Sub-menu 3.1
Sub-menu 3.2
Menu 4
Sub-menu 4.1
Sub-menu 4.2
There is also the following header menu:
<ul class="nav"> (no sub-menus):
Menu 2
Menu 3
The below code handles the left column menu ("accordion" class). I would like extend the code, so clicking on 'Menu 2' from the header menu ("nav" class) would have the very same effect as clicking on the 'Menu 2' ("accordion" class). I.e. clicking on the 'Menu 2' ("nav" class) would expand 'Menu 2' with "accordion" class.
Hers is the code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
// Store variables
var accordion_head = $('.accordion > li > a'),
accordion_body = $('.accordion li > .sub-menu'),
nav_head = $('.nav > li > a');
// Open the first tab on load
accordion_head.eq(2).addClass('active').next().slideDown('normal');
// Click function
accordion_head.on('click', function(event) {
// Disable header links
event.preventDefault();
// Show and hide the tabs on click
if ($(this).attr('class') != 'active'){
accordion_body.slideUp('normal');
$(this).next().stop(true,true).slideToggle('normal');
accordion_head.removeClass('active');
$(this).addClass('active');
}
else {
accordion_body.slideUp('normal');
accordion_head.removeClass('active');
}
});
nav_head.on('click', function(event) {
// Disable header links
event.preventDefault();
// Show and hide the 'accordion tabs' on click on the 'nav tabs'
<missing part>
});
});
</script>
Many thanks, LG

Target the index of the clicked parent element as long they are in the same order (after the home button)
$(function(){
var accordion_head = $('.accordion > li > a'),
accordion_sub = $('.accordion li > .sub-menu'),
nav_head = $('.nav > li > a');
accordion_head.not('.active').on('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
if (!$(e.target).hasClass('active')){
$('.accordion > li > a').removeClass('active');
accordion_sub.slideUp();
$(this).addClass('active').closest('li').find('.sub-menu').slideDown();
}
});
nav_head.on('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$('.accordion > li').eq( $(this).closest('li').index() ).find('a').click();
});
});

One page website, show/hide divs, menu button will not stay selected

I'm trying to make a one page website with a menu (pictures, css roll over...), that will display a different div when each menu button is clicked. Only one div will be shown at time though and if one is already open it should be hidden. This is working well.
The problem I am having is that that the menu button which shows the result will not stay selected i.e. on the same picture as the roll over (hover).
HTML :
<ul class="menu">
<li class="home"><span class="displace"></span></li>
<li class="credits"><span class="displace"></span></li>
<li class="idea"><span class="displace"></span></li>
</ul>
<div id="content1">home text</div>
<div id="content2">credits text1</div>
<div id="content3">idea text</div>​
JS / jQuery :
function showHide(d)
{
var onediv = document.getElementById(d);
var divs=['content1','content2','content3'];
for (var i=0;i<divs.length;i++)
{
if (onediv != document.getElementById(divs[i]))
{
document.getElementById(divs[i]).style.display='none';
}
}
onediv.style.display = 'block';
}
$(function stay() {
$('menu').click(function stay() {
$('menu').removeClass('selected');
$(this).addClass('selected');
});
});
​
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/anKT3/159/
I've tried creating a function to change the class, but I've not had any luck.

Change your stay() function to be as follows:
$(function stay() {
$('.menu li a').click(function stay() {
$('.menu li a').removeClass('selected');
$(this).addClass('selected');
});
});

Here is JS fiddle
$(function stay() {
$('ul.menu li a').click(function () {
$('ul.menu li a').removeClass('selected');
$(this).addClass('selected');
});
});
