Keep Bootstrap Dropdown Open When Clicked Off

Keep Bootstrap dropdown open on click

Try removing the propagation on the button itself like so:

$('.dropdown-menu a.removefromcart').click(function(e) {
    e.stopPropagation();
});

Edit

Here is a demo from the comments with the solution above:

http://jsfiddle.net/andresilich/E9mpu/

Relevant code:

JS

$(".removefromcart").on("click", function(e){
    var fadeDelete = $(this).parents('.product');
    $(fadeDelete).fadeOut(function() {
        $(this).remove();
    });

    e.stopPropagation();
});

HTML

<div id="shoppingcart" class="nav-collapse cart-collapse">
 <ul class="nav pull-right">
  <li class="dropdown open">
    <a href="#" data-toggle="dropdown" class="dropdown-toggle">Totaal:
    € 43,00</a>

    <ul class="dropdown-menu">
      <li class="nav-header">Pakketten</li>
        <li class="product">

Keep Bootstrap Dropdown Open When Clicked Off

From the events section of the Bootstrap dropdown documentation:

hide.bs.dropdown: This event is fired immediately when the hide instance method has been called.

For starters, to prevent the dropdown from closing, we can just listen to this event and stop it from proceeding by returning false:

$('#myDropdown').on('hide.bs.dropdown', function () {
    return false;
});

---

For a complete solution, you probably want to allow it to close when the dropdown itself is clicked. So only some of the time we'll want to prevent the box from closing.

To do this we'll set .data() flags in two more events raised by the dropdown:

• shown.bs.dropdown - When shown, we'll set .data('closable') to false
• click - When clicked, we'll set .data('closable') to true

Thus, if the hide.bs.dropdown event was raised by a click on the dropdown, we'll allow a close.

Live Demo in jsFiddle

JavaScript

$('.dropdown.keep-open').on({
    "shown.bs.dropdown": function() { this.closable = false; },
    "click":             function() { this.closable = true; },
    "hide.bs.dropdown":  function() { return this.closable; }
});

HTML (note I've added the class keep-open to the dropdown)

<div class="dropdown keep-open">
    <!-- Dropdown Button -->
    <button id="dLabel" role="button" href="#" class="btn btn-primary"
            data-toggle="dropdown" data-target="#" >
        Dropdown <span class="caret"></span>
    </button>

    <!-- Dropdown Menu -->
    <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu" aria-labelledby="dLabel">
        <li><a href="#">Action</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Another action</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Something else here</a></li>
        <li class="divider"></li>
        <li><a href="#">Separated link</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>

Keep Bootstrap Dropdown Open When Clicked Inside

You can use the following JavaScript to manually open and close the dropdown menu:

$(function() {

  $('.dropdown-toggle').on('click', function(event) {
    $('.dropdown-menu').slideToggle();
    event.stopPropagation();
  });

  $('.dropdown-menu').on('click', function(event) {
    event.stopPropagation();
  });

  $(window).on('click', function() {
    $('.dropdown-menu').slideUp();
  });

});

Demo in StackSnippets

$(function() {
  $('.dropdown-toggle').on('click', function(event) {    $('.dropdown-menu').slideToggle();    event.stopPropagation();  });
  $('.dropdown-menu').on('click', function(event) {    event.stopPropagation();  });
  $(window).on('click', function() {    $('.dropdown-menu').slideUp();  });
});

<div id="navbar">  <nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-static-top" role="navigation">    <ul class="nav navbar-nav">      <li class="dropdown">        <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">MENU</a>        <div class="dropdown-menu">          <p>Hello</p>          <input type="text">        </div>      </li>    </ul>  </nav></div>

Avoid dropdown menu close on click inside

Removing the data attribute data-toggle="dropdown" and implementing the open/close of the dropdown can be a solution.

First by handling the click on the link to open/close the dropdown like this :

$('li.dropdown.mega-dropdown a').on('click', function (event) {
    $(this).parent().toggleClass('open');
});

and then listening the clicks outside of the dropdown to close it like this :

$('body').on('click', function (e) {
    if (!$('li.dropdown.mega-dropdown').is(e.target) 
        && $('li.dropdown.mega-dropdown').has(e.target).length === 0 
        && $('.open').has(e.target).length === 0
    ) {
        $('li.dropdown.mega-dropdown').removeClass('open');
    }
});

Here is the demo :

bootstrap 4 dropdown menu outside close

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

Avoid dropdown close on clicking outside

Bootstrap 4 Dropdown eventing is slightly different than Bootstrap 3, therefore the suggested duplicates (and here) will not work to prevent the dropdown from closing on an outside click.

For Bootstrap 4, look for the clickEvent, and when found in the hide event, prevent the default close behavior. This dropdown will only close when the button is clicked.

$('#myDD').on('hide.bs.dropdown', function (e) {
    if (e.clickEvent) {
      e.preventDefault();
    }
})

Demo

---

In some cases, you may want the Dropdown to close when the button or menu is clicked. In this case you can examine the clickEvent target. For example, look for the 'nav-link' class.

$('#myDD').on('hide.bs.dropdown', function (e) {
    if (e.clickEvent && e.clickEvent.target.className!="nav-link") {
      e.preventDefault();
    }
});

Keep-bootstrap-3-dropdown-open-when-clicked

Updated fiddle

You need to make just one change:

Instead of listening to hide.bs.dropdown event for only .dropdown.active
apply the event handler to .dropdown.

Basically, change:

$(".dropdown.active").on("hide.bs.dropdown",function(e) {

to:

$(".dropdown").on("hide.bs.dropdown",function(e) {

---

EDIT:
In order to override the default dropdown behavior, you'll need to ignore the active state since more than one li element can remain expanded and you'll need to toggle visibility yourself.

Here's the updated demo

Code:

$(function(){

    //  Handle show/hide toggle yourself
    $(".dropdown").on("click",function(e) {
        if($(e.currentTarget).hasClass("open"))
            $(e.currentTarget).toggleClass("open",false);
        else 
            $(e.currentTarget).toggleClass("open",true);
        e.preventDefault(); 
        return false;
    });

    //  suppressing default bahavior
    $(".dropdown").on("hide.bs.dropdown", doNothing);            
    $(".dropdown").on("show.bs.dropdown", doNothing);

    function doNothing(e) {
        e.preventDefault(); 
        return false;
    }
});

Prevent dropdown from closing if click is happening inside the dropdown menu

I updated your HTML file (see below) so that the event.stopPropagation() method is called directly once the user clicks on the dropdown. Seems to be working, I found the answer here: How to prevent an angular-bootstrap dropdown from closing (Unbind Event which was bound by a directive)

The openDropdown() method can be removed from the ts file. Hope this helps!

<div class="container">  <div>    <div class="btn-group" dropdown>      <div  dropdownToggle id="pencilColorPicker">          <img class="icon" src="https://www.burns-360.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Sample-Icon.png">       </div>
      <ul id="dropdown-basic" *dropdownMenu class="dropdown-menu" (click)="$event.stopPropagation()"          role="menu" aria-labelledby="button-basic">        <li role="menuitem"><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a></li>        <li role="menuitem"><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a></li>            </ul>    </div>  </div>
  <div>    <div class="btn-group" dropdown>      <div  dropdownToggle id="pencilColorPicker">          <img class="icon" src="https://www.burns-360.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Sample-Icon.png">       </div>
      <ul id="dropdown-basic" *dropdownMenu class="dropdown-menu" (click)="$event.stopPropagation()"          role="menu" aria-labelledby="button-basic">        <li role="menuitem"><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a></li>        <li role="menuitem"><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a></li>            </ul>    </div>  </div>

BootStrap3 keep the dropdown menu open after click on the item

Here is one way to keep the dropdown open after click...

$('#myDropdown').on('hide.bs.dropdown', function () {
    return false;
});

Demo: http://www.bootply.com/116350

Another option is to handle the click event like this..

$('#myDropdown .dropdown-menu').on({
    "click":function(e){
      e.stopPropagation();
    }
});
