I had to add the follow around the code for the dropdown and it worked for me.

$(document).ready(function(){...});

from bootstrap.

Thanks for that too, josh.

But how I implement it to my website????

@TheoQ, are you asking how to include JavaScript code in your HTML? It would help if you provided more details about your problem.

from bootstrap.

Are you searching for that?

$(document).ready(function(){
  $("body").bind("click", function (e) {
    $('a.menu').parent("li").removeClass("open");
  });

  $("a.menu").click(function (e) {
    var $li = $(this).parent("li").toggleClass('open');
    return false;
  });
});

@vreon. Thanks for your answer. I included the javascript file on the header, but id doesn't seem it is working. I don't know how to "link" the action when you press the dropdown to the action in the javascript file. I hope I explained well, as I'm just a noob :P Thanks

Just give the Dropdown-Link the class 'menu' and the example-code should work.

As I'm not understanding quite well, I'll post how I linked the Javascript file, and how I declared menu class lol

< script src="https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/blob/master/docs/assets/js/application.js" ></ script > in < head >

< ul class="nav secondary-nav" >
< li class="menu" >
< a href="#" class="menu" >More</ a >
< ul class="menu-dropdown" >
< li >< a href="#" >Settings< /a >< /li >

          </ ul >

Thanks

You're on the right track, but you don't want to hotlink that entire JS file, it's only meant for usage on the docs page. Just use the snippet that @optikfluffel posted.

One way to do this is to put the snippet in a "script.js" file, then include that in the after you include the jQuery library. (There are Googleable tutorials if you're not sure how to do that.)

so i just write that file and link it and I'm done?? I am not using jquery. Not yet ;-)

from bootstrap.

Basically, yes. Keep in mind that jQuery is required if you want to use that particular snippet. It's very easy to include.

I fear we've gone far outside the scope of this issue ticket, so feel free to PM me if you're still having trouble.

from bootstrap.

Fine. I'll try that and if I find any problem I'll try to solve it myself first and then I'll PM you. Thanks

@TheoQ if you want any more help, feel free to email me!

Key point is that you need JQuery: <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
