Bootstrap Dropdown With Background Dim

Question

I have a simple navbar in Bootstrap 3, with a drop down.

I'm looking to dim the background while the drop down is open (similar to when a modal is open). I'm not sure how to go about this.

Answer 1

I found a similar resource that describes it better than I could. It is basically a modal dialog box in the example. But the important part for you is the jquery as it is dependant on where the class of the click event is placed which you would place in the html tag for your dropdown. I hope this helps. http://www.webdesignfact.com/2011/06/quick-way-to-dim-and-cover-background-content-with-jquery.html
