Bootstrap Dropdown Keeps Collapsing on Mobile

Question

Site: http://pegasusbus.com/ebrochure

My menu works great, but when i click on the dropdown for "packages" in the nav, the dropdown closes before i can select an option. This only happen on mobile.

Can anyone please tell me whats going on here please?

Answer 1

Inside your freelancer.js file you're targeting all the a tags inside the navbar (which includes the navbar-toggle) to collapse the mobile menu when clicking any link.

Currently you have this:

// Closes the Responsive Menu on Menu Item Click
$('.navbar-collapse ul li a').click(function() {
    $('.navbar-toggle:visible').click();
});

You can prevent this by using jQuery :not() Selector

// Closes the Responsive Menu on Menu Item Click
$('.navbar-collapse ul li a:not(.dropdown-toggle)').click(function() {
    $('.navbar-toggle:visible').click();
});

** As a Sidenote you should consider running your site through a Validation process if you have not all ready: See validator.nu as an example.

Working Example:

// Highlight the top nav as scrolling occurs
$('body').scrollspy({
  target: '.navbar-fixed-top'
})

// Closes the Responsive Menu on Menu Item Click
$('.navbar-collapse ul li a:not(.dropdown-toggle)').click(function() {
  $('.navbar-toggle:visible').click();
});

body {
  position: relative;
}
section {
  padding: 50px;
  height: 500px;
}
section:nth-child(3) {
  background-color: lightgreen;
}
section:nth-child(4) {
  background-color: lightblue;
}
section:nth-child(5) {
  background-color: darkblue;
}
section:nth-child(6) {
  background-color: lightcoral;
}
section:nth-child(7) {
  background-color: darkmagenta;
}
section:nth-child(8) {
  background-color: lightskyblue;
}
section:nth-child(9) {
  background-color: lightgoldenrodyellow;
}

I saw your website in the below line href="#" is missing just add that it will fix your problem

<a class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button">Packages<span class="caret"></span></a>
