Open menu on click close other menus

I have been working on getting a popup menu on a button.
There are 7 buttons with this menu, on the page in different containers. So far you can click the button and the menu opens.
Each menu opens with its own version of this, which works but not efficient:
$('.country-btn-portugal').click(()=>{
$(".dropdowna").toggleClass('active');
});
$('.country-btn-uk').click(()=>{
$(".dropdowna").toggleClass('active');
});
....etc... x7, one for each button menu.
I have tried to close the menu if an item is clicked but doesnt function with:
//close if menu <a> is clicked
$('#mclose').click(()=>{
$('.dropdown').removeClass('active');
});
And using the following to close the menu if an item that is not this element is clicked (does not work):
$(document).mouseup(function (e)
{
var container = $("#oclick");
if (!container.is(e.target) // if the target of the click isn't the container...
&& container.has(e.target).length === 0) // ... nor a descendant of the container
{
container.hide();
}
});
which i was hoping would also fix the issue when 1 menu is open and your next click is another menu, so you have both open.
The menu buttons will be serving separate divs (or card like boxes and are not siblings next to eachother. Hence finding it hard to compact the code. had to give each menu its own click functions.
it is a mess sorry. would be nice to see where im going wrong here.
fiddle --> https://jsfiddle.net/s4nk1zev/118/
html structure for one "card" with one "menu button".
<div class="country_card">
<span class="cc-t goth upperC">Portugal </span> <span class="cc-t goth upperC blued">Visa</span>
<div class="cc-txt">
text in here
</div>
<div class="cc-btn">
<button class="tablabel country-btn-portugal" id="portimg"></button>
<div id="mcontainer" class="dropdowna">
<a id="mclose" class="mclose" href="#home">Overview</a>
<a id="mclose" href="#about">Application Process</a>
<a id="mclose" href="#contact">Investment Options</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Well, this is how I would have done that.
Here is the updated fiddle
And this script would do enough
//open menu
$('.tablabel').click(function(event){
$('.tablabel').not(this).next().removeClass("active")
$(this).next().toggleClass("active")
});
//close if menu clicked
$(".dpd").click(function(e){
$(this).toggleClass("active")
})
//close if anything but menu clicked
What it does is, just listen for any click on the button and add active class to the next of it. Removing active class from all the active elements if there is any.
Secondly, you can use a class (as I've added one dpd) on the menue items to detect a click on them to close the open menu.
One more thing. Identifiers must be unique for each element you use. I've also updated them to be unique
Hope that helps

SInce your button and menu tags appear to always be siblings, if you add a common class to all your dropdowns, you can get a list of all of them more easily. Like this:
<div id="mcontainer" class="dropdown dropdowna">
Also as a suggestion, it's really not a very good idea to have duplicate ids in your document. It's against the html standard, and it can cause strange issues with getting tags by id.
Once you have a common class on all your dropdowns, you can do something like this to close all others, and toggle the one related to the button you're clicking.
function fnClick(e){
var $dd = $(this).next();
$('.dropdown').not($dd).removeClass('active');
$dd.toggleClass('active');
}
//open menu
$('.country-btn-portugal').click(fnClick);
$('.country-btn-uk').click(fnClick);
here's an update of your fiddle to demonstrate:
https://jsfiddle.net/s4nk1zev/143/

You can try using promise().done(), and reviewing the html class. This is a fiddle for you: https://jsfiddle.net/zxoLmf71/
using a promise on an element let you wait for the code to finish execution before start the new one. this is the code:
//open menu
const buttons = $('.country-btn');
const dropDownMenus = $('.dropdownmenu');
const dropDownItems = $('.dropDownItem')
buttons.click(function() {
dropDownMenus.removeClass('active');
$(this).next('div').promise().done(function() {
$(this).toggleClass('active');
});
});
//close if menu clicked
dropDownItems.click(function() {
dropDownMenus.removeClass('active');
});
Hope it helps

Hide div when the page is loaded and show when link is clicked

I took this simple code for drop down menu and it's working so far. The problem is that when I load the page, #drop menu is displayed, which is obviously not what we want. The goal is to show the #drop menu when #submenu link is clicked, not immediately.
I modified my code below, because I need a div element, not a list.
js
$(document).ready( function(){
$('#submenu').click( function(event){
event.stopPropagation();
$('#drop').toggle();
});
$(document).click( function(){
$('#drop').hide();
});
});
html
Products
<div id = "drop" >
DROP DOWN MENU
</div>

Add some css:
#drop { display: none; }

just put this code in your dropdown.
Products
<div id = "drop" style="display:none;">
DROP DOWN MENU
</div>
and your problem will be resolved when page load drop div will be hidden that u can use toggle or show command in jquery function.

Since you don't want your element to be displaced when the page first loads, why not set its visibilty to hidden in the html, like style="visbility:hidden",and assign submenu link an action listener function and reference this element via getElementById and set its visibility to visible.
document.getElementbyId("dropDownMenu").style.visibility = "visible"

If you dont't want to use css then you can do it with jquery.
Products
<div id = "drop" >
DROP DOWN MENU
</div>
<scitpt type="text/javascipt">
$(document).ready( function(){
$('#drop').hide();
$('#submenu').click( function(event){
event.stopPropagation();
$('#drop').toggle();
});
$(document).click( function(){
$('#drop').hide();
});
})
</script>

jQuery get class of selected element

I have a bunch of divs that are buttons on my site. When I click a button I want a sub nav to show. All the sub navs have the class of "subNab" but also have a class the same as the main nav appended with "Sub". For example I have:
<div class="navBox audits">
<p>Audits</p>
</div>
<div class="subNav auditsSub">
<div class="navBox">
<p>Audits Sub1</p>
</div>
<div class="navBox">
<p>Audits Sub2</p>
</div>
</div>
Currently I have the sub nav hiding on page load and showing on a click function, along with hiding the subNav again so they don't just stack up. I have the below code with the different class names for each button. There's got to be an easier way.
$(".audits").click(function(){
$(".subNav").hide();
$(".auditsSub").fadeIn("slow");
$("#adSlider").hide();
});
$(".billing").click(function(){
$(".subNav").hide();
$(".billingSub").fadeIn("slow");
$("#adSlider").hide();
});
$(".consulting").click(function(){
$(".subNav").hide();
$(".consultingSub").fadeIn("slow");
$("#adSlider").hide();
});
Thanks in advance!

Can you give me the full code so I can see exactly how you want to handle your menu. If you organize your code correctly you don't have to give each trigger button a class.
Maybe this is what you are looking for:
$(document).ready( function() {
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.submenu').hide();
$('.menu ul li a').click(function(event){
event.preventDefault(); // prevents link from redirrecting
$('.submenu').hide(); // hide all submenu items
$(this).siblings('.submenu').slideDown (); // show only child submenu
});
});

Show menu when i click on button and hide that when i click anywhere on the page or button

I have small dropdown profile menu with logout button etc. I need to show the menu when I click on the button and hide it when i click anywhere on page or on the button as well.
<div id='menu'>
<ul>
<li class='has-sub'> <a class="testbutton" id="userButton" onclick="dropdown()" href="#">
<span id="buttonText">User name</span> <span id="triangleDown">▾</span>
</a>
<ul id="submenu">
<li class='has-sub'><a href='#'><span>Change password</span></a>
</li>
<li class='has-sub'><a href='logout.php?action=0'><span>Logout</span></a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
I used JavaScript. At this time menu is displayed on hidded only when I click on profile button. I also know how to start function using something like document.ready.
My not working code:
function dropdown() {
if ($('#submenu').css('visibility') == 'hidden') {
$('#submenu').css('visibility', 'visible');
} else {
$('#submenu').css('visibility', 'hidden');
}
};
$(document).click(function (event) {
if ($('#submenu').css('visibility') == 'visible') {
$('#submenu').css('visibility', 'hidden');
}
});
But when I combine this methods it does not works. So when I clicked on the button to open menu, nothing happened.
Sorry for my English :)
Thanks for help in advance.

This has partly to do with something called event propagation. Put simply, this means that click events will register not only on the clicked element, but also on any parent or ancestor elements of that element.
So if you click a DIV, the event will also be registered on the BODY, because the DIV is inside the BODY. Put abstractly, if a kitchen is the scene of a crime, then the apartment that houses that kitchen is also the scene of a crime. One is inside the other.
This is prevented by preventing propagation - in jQuery, by running the stopPropagation() method of the evt object that is automatically passed to your event handler.
In any case, your situation can be greatly simplified.
var menu = $('#menu'), but = $('#menu_button');
$(document).on('click', '*', function(evt) {
evt.stopPropagation(); //<-- stop the event propagating to ancestral elements
if ($(this).is(but)) //<-- on button click, toggle visibility of menu
menu.toggle();
else if (!$(this).closest(menu).length) //<-- on click outside, hide menu
menu.hide();
});
Assumption: I have assumed that the toggler button is targetable via the selector '#menu_button'. Update this as required. Also, the code should run inside a DOM-ready handler.
The code listens for clicks to any element. If it's registered on the button, the visible state of the menu is toggled. If it's to an element outside of the menu, the menu is hidden. (If, in the latter case, the menu is already hidden, this will have no effect.)
Here's a working JS Fiddle that demonstrates the approach.

Try this:
$(function() {
$('.test-button').click(function(event) {
event.stopPropagation();
$('#submenu').toggle();
});
$('body').click(function() {
var submenu = $('#submenu');
if(submenu.is(":visible")) {
submenu.hide();
}
})
});

How would I trigger a javascript responsive menu to hide on click?

I'm using the following JS to show and hive a responsive-specific menu. Basically, when an h4 is clicked, a list with my my within #secondary-navigation slides down. I'm using this menu on a page with page anchors, so I'd like the menu to slideUp when one of the menu items is clicked. How would I go about accomplishing this with my code below? Thanks for any help.
<script>
(function($) {
$(function() {
var header = $('h4', '#secondary-navigation');
header.click(function() {
if($(this).next().is(':hidden')) {
$(this).next().slideDown('fast');
} else {
$(this).next().slideUp('fast');
}
});
});
})(jQuery);
</script><!-- end mobile nav -->

Edit: I misread your question at first. You need to add a second function that triggers when one of the menu children is clicked. That's a separate event.
Assuming your menu items are wrapped in a div or ul with an id of #menu:
$('#menu a').click(function() {
$('#menu').slideUp('fast');
});
Add this as a separate function, outside of the one you posted above.
