Im dynamically populating a UL list. This could contain 1 up to 5 items
I want to be able to show the first list item, and then on a click of a button in that list item hide it and show the next.
I have this so far -
HTML Structure
<ul class="grid">
<li class="object">
List Item 1
<a class="show-next">Show the next list item</a>
<li>
</ul>
Javascript
$('.grid .object').hide().filter(':lt(1)').show();
$('.show-next').click(function(){
$(".grid").find(".object").hide().next().show();
});
This code unfortunately is showing all the list items in the UL instead of just the next one.
Anyone give me a hand?
Thanks
Try adding
.removeClass(active);
You could change your code so that you add an active class to the active element, because right now $(".grid").find(".object") is finding all the li objects in your ul, hiding them, looking for the next sibling for every element, and then showing those elements ... that's going to show every element in the list. With an active class added to the currently active button, that would prevent your query from finding all the li elements in the ul.
So for instance:
$('.show-next').click(function(ev){
$(".grid").find(".object.active").hide().next().show().addClass("active");
$(this).parent().removeClass("active");
});
The closing tag for your li is missing the backslash, e.g. </li> instead of <li>.
Apart from that, try this:
$('.grid .object').hide().filter(':lt(1)').show();
$('.show-next').click(function(){
$(".grid").find(".object").hide();
$(this).parent().next().show();
return false;
});
I have put together an example fiddle here: https://jsfiddle.net/utvgLqp6/
Please note that there's no sanity checking to see if it's the last item in the list or not.
Also, if you want to use this on dynamically created elements, you will need to do
$(document).on('click', '.show-next', function() {
instead
First of all your are not closing each list item with </li>. You can take help of parent() to find the parent of the clicked element & then, can hide it & can show the next list item using next()
$('.grid .object').hide().filter(':lt(1)').show();
$('.show-next').click(function(){
$(this).parent().hide().next().show();
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul class="grid">
<li class="object">
List Item 1
<a class="show-next">Show the next list item</a>
</li>
<li class="object">
List Item 2
<a class="show-next">Show the next list item</a>
</li>
<li class="object">
List Item 3
<a class="show-next">Show the next list item</a>
</li>
<li class="object">
List Item 4
<a class="show-next">Show the next list item</a>
</li>
<li class="object">
List Item 5
<a class="show-next">Show the next list item</a>
</li>
</ul>
How's this: https://jsfiddle.net/fznk3ube/2/ I have updated the code and I believe it now includes all the functionality you asked for.
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.object').hide();
var clickListArray = $('.object').toArray();
$(clickListArray[0]).show();
$('.show-next').on("click", function () {
var thisParent = $(this).parent();
var nextInList = $(thisParent).next();
$(thisParent).hide();
$(nextInList).show();
});
});
Below is the code.
<ul class="grid">
<li class="object">
List Item 1<a class="show-next"> Show the next list item</a>
</li>
<li class="object">
List Item 2
<a class="show-next">Show the next list item</a>
</li>
<li class="object">
List Item 3
<a class="show-next">Show the next list item</a>
</li>
</ul>
Below is the script you should insert.
$('.grid .object').hide().filter(':lt(1)').show();
$('.show-next').click(function(){
$eL = $('.grid .object').filter(":visible");
// $(".grid").find(".object").hide().next().show();
if($eL.next().length>0){
$eL.next().show();
}else{
$('.grid .object')[0].show();
}
});

I want to toggle a chevron in a bootstrap drop down menu, when the drop down is toggled. I can make it toggle when clicked, but I would rather it toggle on drop down that way if you click on another part of the menu the chevron changes back. It currently will stay with the minus sign unless you click the chevron to change it back.
<li class="dropdown navbar-custom first-navbar-custom">
<a href="#" data-toggle="dropdown" class="dropdown-toggle shortNav hidden-md hidden-lg pull-left cheveron-dropdown">
<span class="chevron_toggleable glyphicon glyphicon-plus glyphiconIcon hidden-md hidden-lg">
</span>
</a>
<a href="/glass-containers/c/455/"><strong>Glass Containers</strong>
</a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('dropdown-toggle').dropdown('toggle', function() {
$('.chevron_toggleable').toggleClass('glyphicon-plus glyphicon-minus');
});
});
</script>
I feel like its really close, I just don't have the jquery part correct can someone please help me and tell me what I am doing wrong.
The fiddle should explain all. https://jsfiddle.net/nu8wmjq5/
SECOND EDIT BASED ON AUTHORS JSFIDDLE:
The code below will react to all events on the dropdowns specific to the class selector. It then finds the chevron that is inside the specific dropdown that has fired the event.
FIDDLE: https://jsfiddle.net/t79to9xu/
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.myDropdown').on('show.bs.dropdown', function () {
$(this).find('.chevron_toggleable')
.removeClass("glyphicon-plus")
.addClass("glyphicon-minus");
})
$('.myDropdown').on('hide.bs.dropdown', function () {
$(this).find('.chevron_toggleable')
.removeClass("glyphicon-minus")
.addClass("glyphicon-plus");
})
});
I'm sure there is a nicer way of doing this, but I'll let you do your research. .find() searches the descendents of the element.
https://api.jquery.com/find/
As such it's worth noting that if your dropdown has two elements with the .chevron-toggleable class inside of it, it'll amend both of them. You'll need to be more specific with your selector if that ever becomes the case.
EDIT:
I've attached some example code. This is a forked version of the example provided to another question by Skelly here:
http://www.bootply.com/zjWn1QPfNU
JS:
$('#myDropdown').on('show.bs.dropdown', function () {
$('#chevron').removeClass("glyphicon-plus").addClass("glyphicon-minus");
})
$('#myDropdown').on('hide.bs.dropdown', function () {
$('#chevron').removeClass("glyphicon-minus").addClass("glyphicon-plus");
})
HTML:
<div class="btn-group" id="myDropdown">
<a class="btn dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#">
Menu
<span id="chevron" class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus"></span>
</a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>Choice1</li>
<li>Choice2</li>
<li>Choice3</li>
<li class="divider"></li>
<li>Choice..</li>
</ul>
</div>
ORIGINAL ANSWER
Bootstrap has a bunch of different events that fire when interacting with a dropdown. They're in the official documentation here.
Specifically the ones you'll find of interest are hide.bs.dropdown (event is fired immediately when it is about to be hidden) and hidden.bs.dropdown (fired after the dropdown has been hidden).
$('#myDropdown').on('hide.bs.dropdown', function () {
// DROPDOWN IS GOING TO CLOSE, CHANGE CHEVRON HERE.
})
Does this help?
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('dropdown-toggle').dropdown('toggle', function() {
if($('.chevron_toggleable').hasClass('glyphicon-plus')) {
$(this).removeClass("glyphicon-plus").addClass("glyphicon-minus");
} else {
$(this).removeClass("glyphicon-minus").addClass("glyphicon-plus");
}
});
});
</script>
For future researchers this is for navbar dropdowns and this code might help you
$(function() {
// THIS WILL FIRE WHENEVER DROPDOWN SHOW
$('.nav > li.dropdown').on('show.bs.dropdown', function () {
$(this).find('.glyphicon').removeClass('glyphicon-chevron-down').addClass('glyphicon-chevron-up');
});
// THIS WILL FIRE WHENEVER DROPDOWN HIDE
$('.nav > li.dropdown').on('hide.bs.dropdown', function () {
$(this).find('.glyphicon').removeClass('glyphicon-chevron-up').addClass('glyphicon-chevron-down');
});
});
Here is a working fiddle https://jsfiddle.net/qfe9e7tb/1/
I have a Twitter Bootstrap dropdown menu. As all Twitter Bootstrap users know, the dropdown menu closes on click (even clicking inside it).
To avoid this, I can easily attach a click event handler on the dropdown menu and simply add the famous event.stopPropagation().
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="dropdown mega-dropdown">
<a href="javascript:;" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">
<i class="fa fa-list-alt"></i> Menu item 1
<span class="fa fa-chevron-down pull-right"></span>
</a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu mega-dropdown-menu">
<li>
<div id="carousel" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel">
<ol class="carousel-indicators">
<li data-slide-to="0" data-target="#carousel"></li>
<li class="active" data-slide-to="1" data-target="#carousel"></li>
</ol>
<div class="carousel-inner">
<div class="item">
<img alt="" class="img-rounded" src="img1.jpg">
</div>
<div class="item active">
<img alt="" class="img-rounded" src="img2.jpg">
</div>
</div>
<a data-slide="prev" role="button" href="#carousel"
class="left carousel-control">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left"></span>
</a>
<a data-slide="next" role="button" href="#carousel"
class="right carousel-control">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right"></span>
</a>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
This looks easy and a very common behavior, however, and since carousel-controls (as well as carousel indicators) event handlers are delegated to the document object, the click event on these elements (prev/next controls, ...) will be “ignored”.
$('ul.dropdown-menu.mega-dropdown-menu').on('click', function(event){
// The event won't be propagated up to the document NODE and
// therefore delegated events won't be fired
event.stopPropagation();
});
Relying on Twitter Bootstrap dropdown hide/hidden events is not a solution for the following reasons:
The provided event object for both event handlers does not give reference to the clicked element
I don't have control over the dropdown menu content so adding a flag class or attribute is not possible
This fiddle is the normal behavior and this fiddle is with event.stopPropagation() added.
Update
Thanks to Roman for his answer. I also found an answer that you can find below.
This should help as well
$(document).on('click', 'someyourContainer .dropdown-menu', function (e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
Removing the data attribute data-toggle="dropdown" and implementing the open/close of the dropdown can be a solution.
First by handling the click on the link to open/close the dropdown like this :
$('li.dropdown.mega-dropdown a').on('click', function (event) {
$(this).parent().toggleClass('open');
});
and then listening the clicks outside of the dropdown to close it like this :
$('body').on('click', function (e) {
if (!$('li.dropdown.mega-dropdown').is(e.target)
&& $('li.dropdown.mega-dropdown').has(e.target).length === 0
&& $('.open').has(e.target).length === 0
) {
$('li.dropdown.mega-dropdown').removeClass('open');
}
});
Here is the demo :
http://jsfiddle.net/RomaLefrancois/hh81rhcm/2/
The absolute best answer is to put a form tag after the class dropdown-menu
so your code is
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<form>
<li>
<div class="menu-item">bla bla bla</div>
</li>
</form>
</ul>
Bootstrap provides the following function:
| This event is fired immediately when the hide instance method
hide.bs.dropdown | has been called. The toggling anchor element is available as the
| relatedTarget property of the event.
Therefore, implementing this function should be able to disable the dropdown from closing.
$('#myDropdown').on('hide.bs.dropdown', function (e) {
var target = $(e.clickEvent.target);
if(target.hasClass("keepopen") || target.parents(".keepopen").length){
return false; // returning false should stop the dropdown from hiding.
}else{
return true;
}
});
This might help:
$("dropdownmenuname").click(function(e){
e.stopPropagation();
})
I just add onclick event like below to not close dropdown-menu.
<div class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-right" onclick="event.stopPropagation()" aria-labelledby="triggerId">
I also found a solution.
Assuming that the Twitter Bootstrap Components related events handlers are delegated to the document object, I loop the attached handlers and check if the current clicked element (or one of its parents) is concerned by a delegated event.
$('ul.dropdown-menu.mega-dropdown-menu').on('click', function(event){
var events = $._data(document, 'events') || {};
events = events.click || [];
for(var i = 0; i < events.length; i++) {
if(events[i].selector) {
//Check if the clicked element matches the event selector
if($(event.target).is(events[i].selector)) {
events[i].handler.call(event.target, event);
}
// Check if any of the clicked element parents matches the
// delegated event selector (Emulating propagation)
$(event.target).parents(events[i].selector).each(function(){
events[i].handler.call(this, event);
});
}
}
event.stopPropagation(); //Always stop propagation
});
Hope it helps any one looking for a similar solution.
Thank you all for your help.
In the new Bootstrap 5 the solution is trivially simple.
Quote from the documentation page:
By default, the dropdown menu is closed when
clicking inside or outside the dropdown menu. You can use the
autoClose option to change this behavior of the dropdown.
In addition to the default behavior, we have 3 options available here:
Clickable outside: data-bs-auto-close="outside"
Clickable inside: data-bs-auto-close="inside"
Manual close: data-bs-auto-close="false"
E.g.:
<div class="btn-group">
<button class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" data-bs-auto-close="inside" type="button" id="dropdownMenuClickableInside" data-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">
Clickable inside
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="dropdownMenuClickableInside">
<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Menu item</a></li>
<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Menu item</a></li>
<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Menu item</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
More info: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.1/components/dropdowns/#auto-close-behavior
$('body').on("click", ".dropdown-menu", function (e) {
$(this).parent().is(".open") && e.stopPropagation();
});
This may work for any conditions.
I tried this simple thing and it worked like a charm.
I changed the dropdown-menu element from <div> to <form> and it worked well.

I modified #Vartan's answer to make it work with Bootstrap 4.3. His solution doesn't work anymore with the latest version as target property always returns dropdown's root div no matter where the click was placed.
Here is the code:
$('.dropdown-keep-open').on('hide.bs.dropdown', function (e) {
if (!e.clickEvent) {
// There is no `clickEvent` property in the `e` object when the `button` (or any other trigger) is clicked.
// What we usually want to happen in such situations is to hide the dropdown so we let it hide.
return true;
}
var target = $(e.clickEvent.target);
return !(target.hasClass('dropdown-keep-open') || target.parents('.dropdown-keep-open').length);
});
<div class="dropdown dropdown-keep-open">
<button class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" type="button" id="dropdownMenuButton" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
Dropdown button
</button>
<div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="dropdownMenuButton">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a>
</div>
</div>
$('body').on("click", ".dropdown-menu", function (e) {
$(this).parent().is(".show") && e.stopPropagation();
});
Like for instance Bootstrap 4 Alpha has this Menu Event. Why not use?
// PREVENT INSIDE MEGA DROPDOWN
$('.dropdown-menu').on("click.bs.dropdown", function (e) {
e.stopPropagation();
e.preventDefault();
});
You can also use form tag. Example:
<div class="dropdown-menu">
<form>
Anything inside this wont close the dropdown!
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="button" value="Click me!"/>
</form>
<div class="dropdown-divider"></div>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Clik this and the dropdown will be closed</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">This too</a>
</div>
Source: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/components/dropdowns/#forms
Bootstrap 5
If anyone comes to this via Google wanting a Bootstrap 5 version like I was, it's built in by adding data-bs-auto-close="outside". Note the option is autoClose but when passing as a data attribute the camelcasing is removed & separated by a dash.
I have a collapse widget in a dropdown & adding data-bs-auto-close="outside" to the parent data-bs-toggle="dropdown" trigger keeps the dropdown open while the collapse is toggled.
See official Bootstrap docs: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.1/components/dropdowns/#options
And this codepen for example code (not my pen): https://codepen.io/SitePoint/pen/BaReWGe
I've got a similar problem recently and tried different ways to solve it with removing the data attribute data-toggle="dropdown" and listening click with event.stopPropagation() calling.
The second way looks more preferable. Also Bootstrap developers use this way.
In the source file I found initialization of the dropdown elements:
// APPLY TO STANDARD DROPDOWN ELEMENTS
$(document)
.on('click.bs.dropdown.data-api', clearMenus)
.on('click.bs.dropdown.data-api', '.dropdown form', function (e) { e.stopPropagation() })
.on('click.bs.dropdown.data-api', toggle, Dropdown.prototype.toggle)
.on('keydown.bs.dropdown.data-api', toggle, Dropdown.prototype.keydown)
.on('keydown.bs.dropdown.data-api', '.dropdown-menu', Dropdown.prototype.keydown)
}(jQuery);
So, this line:
.on('click.bs.dropdown.data-api', '.dropdown form', function (e) { e.stopPropagation() })
suggests you can put a form element inside the container with class .dropdown to avoid closing the dropdown menu.
Bootstrap has solved this problem themselves in their support for <form> tags in dropdowns. Their solution is quite graspable and you can read it here: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/blob/v4-dev/js/src/dropdown.js
It boils down to preventing propagation at the document element and doing so only for events of type 'click.bs.dropdown.data-api' that match the selector '.dropdown .your-custom-class-for-keep-open-on-click-elements'.
Or in code
$(document).on('click.bs.dropdown.data-api', '.dropdown .keep-open-on-click', (event) => {
event.stopPropagation();
});
You could simply execute event.stopPropagation on click event of the links themselves.
Something like this.
$(".dropdown-menu a").click((event) => {
event.stopPropagation()
let url = event.target.href
//Do something with the url or any other logic you wish
})
Edit: If someone saw this answer and is using react, it will not work.
React handle the javascript events differently and by the time your react event handler is being called, the event has already been fired and propagated. To overcome that you should attach the event manually like that
handleMenuClick(event) {
event.stopPropagation()
let menu_item = event.target
//implement your logic here.
}
componentDidMount() {
document.getElementsByClassName("dropdown-menu")[0].addEventListener(
"click", this.handleMenuClick.bind(this), false)
}
}
You can stop click on the dropdown from propagating and then manually reimplement the carousel controls using carousel javascript methods.
$('ul.dropdown-menu.mega-dropdown-menu').on('click', function(event) {
event.stopPropagation();
});
$('a.left').click(function () {
$('#carousel').carousel('prev');
});
$('a.right').click(function () {
$('#carousel').carousel('next');
});
$('ol.carousel-indicators li').click(function (event) {
var index = $(this).data("slide-to");
$('#carousel').carousel(index);
});
Here is the jsfiddle.
demo: http://jsfiddle.net/4y8tLgcp/
$('ul.nav.navbar-nav').on('click.bs.dropdown', function(e){
var $a = $(e.target), is_a = $a.is('.is_a');
if($a.hasClass('dropdown-toggle')){
$('ul.dropdown-menu', this).toggle(!is_a);
$a.toggleClass('is_a', !is_a);
}
}).on('mouseleave', function(){
$('ul.dropdown-menu',this).hide();
$('.is_a', this).removeClass('is_a');
});
i have updated it once again to be the smartest and functional as possible. it now close when you hover outside the nav, remaining open while you are inside it. simply perfect.
I know there already is a previous answer suggesting to use a form but the markup provided is not correct/ideal. Here's the easiest solution, no javascript needed at all and it doesn't break your dropdown. Works with Bootstrap 4.
<form class="dropdown-item">
<!-- Your elements go here -->
</form>
I know this question was specifically for jQuery, but for anyone using AngularJS that has this problem you can create a directive that handles this:
angular.module('app').directive('dropdownPreventClose', function() {
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
element.on('click', function(e) {
e.stopPropagation(); //prevent the default behavior of closing the dropdown-menu
});
}
};
});
Then just add the attribute dropdown-prevent-close to your element that is triggering the menu to close, and it should prevent it. For me, it was a select element that automatically closed the menu:
<div class="dropdown-menu">
<select dropdown-prevent-close name="myInput" id="myInput" ng-model="myModel">
<option value="">Select Me</option>
</select>
</div>
With Angular2 Bootstrap, you can use nonInput for most scenarios:
<div dropdown autoClose="nonInput">
nonInput - (default) automatically closes the dropdown when any of its elements is clicked — as long as the clicked element is not an input or a textarea.
https://valor-software.com/ng2-bootstrap/#/dropdowns
[Bootstrap 4 Alpha 6][Rails]
For rails developer, e.stopPropagation() will lead to undesirable behavior for link_to with data-method not equal to get since it will by default return all your request as get.
To remedy this problem, I suggest this solution, which is universal
$('.dropdown .dropdown-menu').on('click.bs.dropdown', function() {
return $('.dropdown').one('hide.bs.dropdown', function() {
return false;
});
});
$('.dropdown .dropdown-menu').on('click.bs.dropdown', function() {
return $('.dropdown').one('hide.bs.dropdown', function() {
return false;
});
});

This helped me,
$('.dropdown-menu').on('click', function (e) {
if ($(this).parent().is(".open")) {
var target = $(e.target);
if (target.hasClass("keepopen") || target.parents(".keepopen").length){
return false;
}else{
return true;

}
});
Your drop down menu element needs to be like this, (take a note of the classes dropdown-menu and keepopen.
<ul role="menu" class="dropdown-menu topmenu-menu eserv_top_notifications keepopen">
The above code prevents biding on the whole <body>, instead to the specfic element with the class dropdown-menu.
Hope this helps someone.
Thanks.
The simplest working solution for me is:
adding keep-open class to elements that should not cause dropdown closing
and this piece of code do the rest:
$('.dropdown').on('click', function(e) {
var target = $(e.target);
var dropdown = target.closest('.dropdown');
return !dropdown.hasClass('open') || !target.hasClass('keep-open');
});
I've found none of the solutions worked as I would like using default bootstrap nav.
Here is my solution to this problem:
$(document).on('hide.bs.dropdown', function (e) {
if ($(e.currentTarget.activeElement).hasClass('dropdown-toggle')) {
$(e.relatedTarget).parent().removeClass('open');
return true;
}
return false;
});
Instead of writing some javascript or jquery code(reinventing the wheel). The above scenario can be managed by bootstrap auto-close option.
You can provide either of the values to auto-close:
always - (Default) automatically closes the dropdown when any of its elements is clicked.
outsideClick - closes the dropdown automatically only when the user clicks any element outside the dropdown.
disabled - disables the auto close
Take a look at the following plunkr :

Set
uib-dropdown auto-close="disabled"
Hope this helps :)
In .dropdown content put the .keep-open class on any label like so:
$('.dropdown').on('click', function (e) {
var target = $(e.target);
var dropdown = target.closest('.dropdown');
if (target.hasClass('keep-open')) {
$(dropdown).addClass('keep-open');
} else {
$(dropdown).removeClass('keep-open');
}
});
$(document).on('hide.bs.dropdown', function (e) {
var target = $(e.target);
if ($(target).is('.keep-open')) {
return false
}
});
The previous cases avoided the events related to the container objects, now the container inherits the class keep-open and check before being closed.
I have a situation where I have a lot of divs (say each div is a product container, with IDs, titles, image etc).
Inside each div, there is also a button that when clicked I would like to toggle a bootstrap dropdown.
Given the number of items, I dont want each item to have its own markup, so I thought I would create one dropdown and show it programmatically through javascript.
Unfortunately, I cannot find a way. Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance
A brief example follows
#jrharshath, thanks for your prompt reply. I post some code (dummy) and I believe that could help you with your answer!
<div id="container">
<div class="acontainer">
<span class="aclicker pull-right btn btn-mini"><i class="icon-chevron-down"></i></span>
<code>ID: w4234234</code><br />
<img src="..." /><br />
product title here
</div>
(many of the above '.acontainer' repeating)
</div><!-- end container -->
<div class="dropdown" id="popmenu">
<ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu" aria-labelledby="dropdownMenu">
<li><a tabindex="-1" href="#">Action</a></li>
<li><a tabindex="-1" href="#">Another action</a></li>
<li><a tabindex="-1" href="#">Something else here</a></li>
<li class="divider"></li>
<li><a tabindex="-1" href="#">Separated link</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
I want to show the #popmenu whenever someone clicks on any .aclicker elements. Just that.
You could use jQuery to move it around whenever an .aclicker element is clicked.
JavaScript
var $popmenu = $('#popmenu')
, last;
$('body').on('click.dropdown', '.aclicker', function() {
// Make sure it's not already open here
$popmenu.hasClass('open') && last === this ?
$popmenu.removeClass('open') : // close it
// otherwise, reposition
$popmenu
.css({
top: this.offsetTop + this.offsetHeight,
left: this.offsetLeft + this.offsetWidth - 172
})
.children('.dropdown-menu')
.dropdown('toggle'); // then open it
last = this; // save reference
return false;
});
CSS
#popmenu {
position: absolute;
}
