Im using javascript to keep my dropdown toggle on a Bootstrap 4 website not closing when clicking inside the .dropdown element, but I’m having hard time getting it to work so it closes when i click outside the .dropdown element. Currently it doesn’t close unless i click the toggle button again…
Any suggestions?
Here is the script
jQuery('.dropdown-toggle').on('click', function (e) {
$(this).next().toggle();
});
jQuery('.dropdown-menu.keep-open').on('click', function (e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
if(1) {
$('body').attr('tabindex', '0');
}
else {
alertify.confirm().set({'reverseButtons': true});
alertify.prompt().set({'reverseButtons': true});
}
>Solution :
Simply you can add an onclick: event.stopPropagation() event on the .dropdown-menu to achieve what you want <div class="dropdown-menu" onclick="event.stopPropagation()">
P.S: to use jQuery you can use $ instead of jQuery. If you cannot use it, you may have jQuery noConflict mode enabled somewhere in your code, see jQuery noConflict
