Keep Dropdown Document For Free

We can use the preventDefault() method to prevent the default behavior of the click event on the dropdown menu. By doing this, the menu items will not close when clicked inside.

To stop the dropdown menu from closing: Set a break point on the parent node of the dropdown menu.

We bind changeRegult using onchange event listener. When we change the dropdown menu, it calls changeResult function. Inside the function, we select our dropdown menu using its id property. After getting the element by id, we can now access all properties. Here we want to show the value property, so we use document.

To retain the selected value in the dropdown on refresh, sessionStorage is used to store the value within the user's browser. First, the values have to be set using sessionStorage. setItem("SelItem", selVal); SelItem is a variable in which we are setting the value of selVal .

As it's an element left to the browser to render, no, it's not possible (at least not as far as standards are concerned). Your best option is to use an HTML substitute for the dropdown menu - this can be achieved with CSS and Javascript, though multiple javascript/jQuery libraries alread exist to perform this task.

$('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(); });

First, you'll need to remove the hover interactions (HoverOn / HoverOff) from the Dropdown Toggle element. Instead, you want to add these to the Dropdown element, itself (so the parent of the dropdown toggle and the dropdown list elements).
