JQuery trouble understanding event order

I am trying to create a Bootstrap dropdown menu with two sub-menus. My problem is that the dropdowns are dynamically created after the document is loaded, and don't respond to how I would normally get them to work.
How I would normally go about it would be
$(document).ready(function(){
addItem(); //adds the first instance of the drop down
$('ul.dropdown-menu [data-toggle=dropdown]').on('click', function(e){
e.stopPropagation();
e.preventDefault();
$(this).siblings().removeClass("open");
$(this).parent().toggleClass("open");
});
});
But this obviously doesn't work for dynamically created content. I saw elsewhere online that this would work for dynamic content;
//still has first instance of dropdown, just later in the doc
$(document).on('click', 'ul.dropdown-menu [data-toggle=dropdown]', function(e){
e.stopPropagation();
e.preventDefault();
$(this).siblings().removeClass("open");
$(this).parent().toggleClass("open");
});
but for the life of me, I can't figure out why this doesn't work. What I'm seeing is that it is adding the open class to the sub-menu, but toggle the parent menu(not stopping propagation?) So, my question is, why doesn't the second one execute as expected, and how can I make it?
List structure for reference:
<div class="dropdown open">
<button id="select0" class="btn new-btn" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="true">Select Your Item <span class="caret"></span></button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li><a class="sub" data-toggle="dropdown">Item 1</a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu sub-menu">
<li><a data-def-cost="6">Item 1.1</a></li>
<li><a data-def-cost="8">Item 1.2</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a class="sub" data-toggle="dropdown">Item 2</a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu sub-menu">
<li><a data-def-cost="5">Item 2.1</a></li>
<li><a data-def-cost="3">Item 2.2</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a data-plu="xyz" data-def-cost="8.00">Item 3</a></li>
<li><a data-plu="xyz" data-def-cost="8.00">Item 4</a></li>
<li><a data-plu="xyz" data-def-cost="10.00">Item 5</a></li>
<li class="dropdown-header">Other Items</li>
<li><a data-plu="143">Item 6</a></li>
<li><a data-plu="xyz">Item 7</a></li>
<li><a data-plu="xyz">Item 8</a></li>
</ul>
<input type="text" class="hidden" name="input1">
<input type="text" class="hidden" name="otherinput1">
</div>

$(this).siblings() points to an ul element, however, the .open class is supposed to be added to the parent li : http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#dropdowns-usage.
Via data attributes or JavaScript, the dropdown plugin toggles hidden content (dropdown menus) by toggling the .open class on the parent list item.
Here is a suggestion (inspired by the following code snippet : Multi-Level Dropdowns) :
$(document).ready(function () {
// this variable keeps track of the last open menus
// in order to close them when another link is clicked
// or when the entire dropdown is closed
var open;
$("#my-dropdown").on("hide.bs.dropdown", function () {
if (open) open.removeClass("open");
});
$(".dropdown-submenu > a").on("click", function (e) {
if (open) open.removeClass("open");
open = $(this).parents(".dropdown-submenu");
open.addClass("open");
e.stopPropagation();
e.preventDefault();
});
});
.dropdown-submenu {
position: relative;
}
.dropdown-submenu .dropdown-menu {
top: 0;
left: 100%;
margin-top: -1px;
}

</ul>
</li>

<ul class="dropdown-menu">

<li>Action 2.2</li>
<li class="dropdown-submenu">

<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>Action 2.3.1</li>
<li>Action 2.3.2</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>

Unsure as to efficiency of my solution, but I rearranged the order a bit, and forced the parent to stay open
$(document).on('click', 'ul.dropdown-menu [data-toggle=dropdown]', function(e){
$(this).siblings().removeClass("open");
$(this).parent().addClass("open");
$(this).parent().parent().parent().addClass("open");
e.stopPropagation();
e.preventDefault();
});
and this solved my issue

use one of these below lines.
$(this).siblings('.dropdown-menu').removeClass('open');
$(this).next('.dropdown-menu').removeClass('open');

Mobile navigation with sliding dropdown menu

i'm trying to create a seperate mobile navigation for a website i'm creating. this is the basic html layout right now
<nav class="mobile-navigation">
<ul class="header-mobile">
<li>
<i class="fa fa-bars" aria-hidden="true"></i>
</li>
<li>
<img src="{$WEB_ROOT}/templates/{$template}/img/logo/logo.svg" alt="logo">
</li>
<li>
<ul>
<li><span class="icon icon-nav-account"></span></li>
<li>
<a href="{$WEB_ROOT}/cart.php?a=view">
<span class="icon icon-cart"></span>
<span class="notification-amount">{$cartitemcount}</span>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
<div class="row">
<ul class="nav-mobile">
<li>About us</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li>Domains</li>
<li>Support</li>
</ul>
</div>
with a simple script to toggle the menu
$('.fa-bars').click(function(evt) {
$('.nav-mobile').slideToggle('down');
});
Now i'm trying to create something where if a list item is chosen, the dropdown is displayed like the images below.
first list -->
second list with selected item
anyone an idea how i achieve this?

First of all you should change your arrow's direction and position. or create two of them one on left and one on right then when user clicks on a li toggle class clicked or something else to that li element(if you want others to collapse you should remove clicked class). Then in css
li > ul{
display:none;
}
li .left-arrow{
display:none;
}
li.clicked > .left-arrow{
display:inline;
}
li.clicked > ul{
display: block;
}
should do the trick

Make parent menu link toggle submenu link

I have a menu which I have working fine but I need a small change and that is I need the parent menu to toggle the submenu, currently if you click the parent menu the submenu appears but I need it so when you click the parent menu again it closes the sub menu.
You can see the menu in action here.
and this is the javascript that is for the menu:
$('.dropdown-toggle').click(function() {
$('.dropdown').css('display', 'none'); // Hide submenus when other submenus are clicked
$(this).next('.dropdown').toggle();
});
$(document).click(function(e) {
var target = e.target;
if (!$(target).is('.dropdown-toggle') && !$(target).parents().is('.dropdown-toggle')) {
$('.dropdown').hide();
}
});
This is the menu html
<nav class="main">
<a class="dropdown-toggle" href="#" title="Menu">Menu One</a>
<ul class="dropdown">
<li>Menu Item</li>
<li>Menu</li>
<li>Settings</li>
<li>Search</li>
</ul>
</nav>

Replace this code:
$('.dropdown-toggle').click(function() {
$('.dropdown').css('display', 'none'); // Hide submenus when other submenus are clicked
$(this).next('.dropdown').toggle();
});
With the code below:
$('.dropdown-toggle').click(function() {
var $currentDropdown = $(this).next('.dropdown');
$currentDropdown.siblings('.dropdown').not($currentDropdown).removeClass('toggled');
$currentDropdown.siblings('.dropdown').not($currentDropdown).hide();
$currentDropdown.toggleClass('toggled');
$currentDropdown.toggle();
});
That should do it.

I think this is the simplier way :)
Hope you helped
$(".dropdown").css('display', 'none');
$('.dropdown-toggle').click(function(e) {
if ($(this).next().is(":visible")){
$(this).next().hide();
}else{
$(".dropdown").hide();
$(this).next().show();
}
});
a {
display: block;
}
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.0.js"></script><nav class="main">
<nav>
<a class="dropdown-toggle" href="#" title="Menu">Menu One</a>
<ul class="dropdown">
<li>Menu Item</li>
<li>Menu</li>
<li>Settings</li>
<li>Search</li>
</ul>
<a class="dropdown-toggle" href="#" title="Menu">Menu One</a>
<ul class="dropdown">
<li>Menu Item</li>
<li>Menu</li>
<li>Settings</li>
<li>Search</li>
</ul>
</nav>

I think this code will be enough.
$('.dropdown-toggle').click(function() {
$(this).next('.dropdown').toggle();
});
Codepen Example

This can be done easily with Bootstrap:
<li class="submenu">
<i class="la la-user"></i>
<span> Main menue </span>
<span class="menu-arrow"></span>
<ul style="display: none;">
<li>sub menu 1</li>
<li> sub menu 2 </li>
<li> sub menu 3 </li>
</ul>
</li>

click blank area go back to selected section

<li class="list ">A
<ul class="names">
<li class="list">1
</li>
<li class="list">2
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="list ">B
<ul class="names selected">
<li class="list selected">1
</li>
<li class="list">2
</li>
<li class="list">3
</li>
<li class="list">4
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="list ">C
<ul class="names">
<li class="list">1
</li>
<li class="list">2
</li>
<li class="list">3
</li>
<li class="list">4
</li>
</ul>
</li>
$('.list').click(function () {
var that = this;
$('.list').each(function () {
if (that == this) return true; //continue
$('.names:not(:hidden)', this).slideToggle();
});
$('ul.names', this).slideToggle();
})
ul.names{display: none;}
li.list{
width:150px;
background:#A9FF7A;
}
ul.names {
width:150px;
background:#A9FF7A;
}
ul.selected{
display: block;
}
li.selected{
background:red;
}
online Sample: http://jsfiddle.net/gyYyd/
B's submenu 1 is highlighted. If I click on menu A or C, then A or C section will be opened, but how do I click PAGE BLANK area (outside of the background color) to go back to B section (to open B section)
Thanks in advance

You can capture clicks on the document object and trigger a click on the required list item.
$(document).click(function() {
var selected = $('.selected:first');
if(!selected.closest('ul.names').is(':visible')) {
selected.closest('.list').trigger('click');
}
});
Also, make sure to return false from your current list item click handler - so that normal clicks on list items don't propagate to the above handler.

Link with hover dropdown menu for Mobile Devices

I've found an issue I just can't seem to solve.
I've got a navigation, 5 links in total. One of the links has a dropdown menu when you hover over it showing 3 more links.
Fine when a mouse is involved. But when you start using touch devices, the parent link consumes all gestures and taps, and the viewer is shown the dropdown for a fraction of a second before being taken to the parent's link page.
I'm wondering if there's a way of making it so the first touch of the parent link shows the dropdown menu, then a second touch would go to that link. touching anything else would just hide the dropdown.
<ul id="main-menu">
<li>Link</li>
<li>Link</li>
<li>Link
<ul class="sub-menu">
<li>Sub Link</li>
<li>Sub Link</li>
<li>Sub Link</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Link</li>
<li>Link</li>
</ul>
Anyone have any ideas? jQuery would be ideal

Something like this perhaps? You may want to customize the behavior of the dropdown, but this shows the basic logic of handling the click events and preventing default behaviour (i.e. following links) if the menu isn't open:
$(function() {
$('#main-menu a').click(function(e) {
var listItem = $(this).closest('li');
if (!listItem.is('.open')) {
// Opening drop-down logic here. e.g. adding 'open' class to <li>
e.preventDefault();
listItem.addClass('open');
}
// Otherwise the default behaviour of the event (clicking the link) will be unaffected
});
});
