Clicking to see the dropdown menus

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#services").click( function() {
$(".subMenus").fadeToggle("slow")
});
});
</script>
This is my code. I can hide and show the dropdown(subMenus) with this code. I want to show the dropdown in my first click which it works but I want to go to a link when I clicked to services for the second time. How can I do?

There is a perfect way for you
$("#services").one('click', function() {
$(".subMenus").fadeToggle("slow")
});

You can do this be checking the visibility of your element. When it's not visible show it, when it is move to your link:
$("#services").click( function() {
if($(".subMenus").is(":visible"))
window.location = "yourLinkHere";
else
$(".subMenus").fadeToggle("slow");
});

Close Modal issues

I'm using the following code to open my Modal.
The modal opens as expected - and appends open to the parent class. However, when 'close' is clicked, it doesn't close & close is not added to the class.
Can someone explain why?
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$window = $(window)
$(".modal-trigger").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault()
var id = $(e.target).attr("href")
$(id).addClass("open")
$(id).find('.close').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault()
$(e.target).parent().removeClass(".open")
});
})
});
</script>
My Close button HTML:
<button class="close icon-close"></button>

I don't think that parent() brings you to correct level. Instead try to remove .open class from the element you add this class in the first place, i.e. $(id):
$(".modal-trigger").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var id = $(e.target).attr("href");
$(id).addClass("open");
$(id).find('.close').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(id).removeClass("open");
$(this).off();
});
});
Also you probably want to unbind click event from close button, otherwise it will bind multiple times.

Hiding Bootstrap Popover on Click Outside Popover

I'm trying to hide the Bootstrap Popover when the user clicks anywhere outside the popover. (I'm really not sure why the creators of Bootstrap decided not to provide this functionality.)
I found the following code on the web but I really don't understand it.
// Hide popover on click anywhere on the document except itself
$(document).click(function(e) {
// Check for click on the popup itself
$('.popover').click(function() {
return false; // Do nothing
});
// Clicking on document other than popup then hide the popup
$('.pop').popover('hide');
});
The main thing I find confusing is the line $('.popover').click(function() { return false; });. Doesn't this line add an event handler for the click event? How does that prevent the call to popover('hide') that follows from hiding the popover?
And has anyone seen a better technique?
Note: I know variations of this question has been asked here before, but the answers to those questions involve code more complex than the code above. So my question is really about the code above

I made http://jsfiddle.net/BcczZ/2/, which hopefully answers your question
Example HTML
<div class="well>
<a class="btn" data-toggle="popover" data-content="content.">Popover</a>
<a class="btn btn-danger bad">Bad button</a>
</div>
JS
var $popover = $('[data-toggle=popover]').popover();
//first event handler for bad button
$('.bad').click(function () {
alert("clicked");
});
$(document).on("click", function (e) {
var $target = $(e.target),
var isPopover = $target.is('[data-toggle=popover]'),
inPopover = $target.closest('.popover').length > 0
//Does nothing, only prints on console and wastes memory. BAD CODE, REMOVE IT
$('.bad').click(function () {
console.log('clicked');
return false;
});
//hide only if clicked on button or inside popover
if (!isPopover && !inPopover) $popover.popover('hide');
});
As I mentioned in my comment, event handlers don't get overwritten, they just stack. Since there is already an event handler on the .bad button, it will be fired, along with any other event handler
Open your console in the jsfiddle, press 5 times somewhere on the page (not the popover button) and then click bad button you should see clicked printed the same amount of times you pressed
Hope it helps
P.S:
If you think about it, you already saw this happening, especially in jQuery.
Think of all the $(document).ready(...) that exist in a page using multiple jquery plugins. That line just registers an event handler on the document's ready event

I just did a more event based solution.
var $toggle = $('.your-popover-button');
$toggle.popover();
var hidePopover = function() {
$toggle.popover('hide');
};
$toggle.on('shown', function () {
var $popover = $toggle.next();
$popover.on('mousedown', function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
$toggle.on('mousedown', function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
$(document).on('mousedown',hidePopover);
});
$toggle.on('hidden', function () {
$(document).off('mousedown', hidePopover);
});

short answer
insert this to bootstrap min.js
when popout onblur will hide popover
when popout more than one, older popover will be hide
$count=0;$(document).click(function(evt){if($count==0){$count++;}else{$('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover('hide');$count=0;}});$('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover();$('[data-toggle="popover"]').on('click', function(e){$('[data-toggle="popover"]').not(this).popover('hide');$count=0;});

None of the above solutions worked 100% for me because I had to click twice on another, or the same, popover to open it again. I have written the solution from scratch to be simple and effective.
$('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover({
html:true,
trigger: "manual",
animation: false
});
$(document).on('click','body',function(e){
$('[data-toggle="popover"]').each(function () {
$(this).popover('hide');
});
if (e.target.hasAttribute('data-toggle') && e.target.getAttribute('data-toggle') === 'popover') {
e.preventDefault();
$(e.target).popover('show');
}
else if (e.target.parentElement.hasAttribute('data-toggle') && e.target.parentElement.getAttribute('data-toggle') === 'popover') {
e.preventDefault();
$(e.target.parentElement).popover('show');
}
});

My solution, works 100%, for Bootstrap v3
$('html').on('click', function(e) {
if(typeof $(e.target).data('original-title') !== 'undefined'){
$('[data-original-title]').not(e.target).popover('hide');
}
if($(e.target).parents().is('[data-original-title]')){
$('[data-original-title]').not($(e.target).closest('[data-original-title]')).popover('hide');
}
if (typeof $(e.target).data('original-title') == 'undefined' &&
!$(e.target).parents().is('.popover.in') && !$(e.target).parents().is('[data-original-title]')) {
$('[data-original-title]').popover('hide');
}
});

Popovers not showing up on first click but show up on second click

I found a related post which did not help:
Twitter bootstrap:Popovers are not showing up on first click but show up on second click
The difference is in my page I have several elements which require popover (several tips-icon), so I need to loop over them..
My markup:
<img class="help_icon" src="http://media.mysite.com/pub/images/help/tips-icon.png">
This is my javascript:
var h=document.getElementsByName("click_help_container");
for (i=0;i<h.length;i++)
{
$('#'+h[i]['id']).click(
function ()
{
var id=$(this).attr("id");
getHelp(id,$(this),function(t,elem)
{
var isVisible = false;
var clickedAway = false;
$(elem).unbind('click');
$(elem).popover(
{
"title":t.title,
"content":"<p class='popover_body_text'>"+t.content+"</p>",
"html":true,
"animation":true,
"placement":"bottom",
"trigger":"manual"
}).click(function(e)
{
$(this).popover('show');
clickedAway = false;
isVisible = true;
e.preventDefault();
});
$(document).click(function(e) {
if(isVisible & clickedAway)
{
$(elem).popover('hide')
isVisible = false;
clickedAway = false;
}else
{
clickedAway = true;
}
});
//$(elem).popover('show');
});
});
}
The problem is when I click on the tips-icon.png button, the popover doesn't show up on first click (I guess it's because I have 2 .click() calls When I click on the button the second time popover shows up and it then maintains it's toggle behavior from there onwards.

You don't need to loop through all elements and initialize popovers one by one, you can apply popover to all items with this name at once (same as you're doing in loop).
And you don't need to show/hide popovers manually by yourself, bootstrap can do it for you.
I think this should work for you:
$("a[name='click_help_container']").popover(
{
"title":t.title,
"content":"<p class='popover_body_text'>"+t.content+"</p>",
"html":true,
"animation":true,
"placement":"bottom",
"trigger":"click"
});

attach an event to the body when ul is visible, then remove it when invisible

I have a <ul> that when clicked, toggles the visibility of another <ul>. How can I attach an event to the body of the page when the <ul>s are revealed so that the body will hide the <ul>.
I am new to writing these sorts things which bubble, and I cannot figure out why what I have done so far seems to work intermittently. When clicked several times, it fails to add the class open when the secondary <ul> is opened.
And of course, there may be an entirely better way to do this.
$(document).on('click', '.dd_deploy', function (e) {
var ul = $(this).children('ul');
var height = ul.css('height');
var width = ul.css('width');
ul.css('top', "-" + height);
ul.fadeToggle(50, function () {
//add open class depending on what's toggled to
if (ul.hasClass('open')) {
ul.removeClass('open');
} else {
ul.addClass('open');
}
//attach click event to the body to hide the ul when
//body is clickd
$(document).on('click.ddClick', ('*'), function (e) {
e.stopPropagation();
//if (ul.hasClass('open')) {
ul.hide();
ul.removeClass('open')
$(document).off('click.ddClick');
// }
});
});
});​

I'd suggest not binding a click event in a click event, even if you are unbinding it. Instead, i would do it this way:
http://jsfiddle.net/JYVwR/2/
$(document).on('click', function (e) {
if ( $(e.target).is(".dd_deploy") ) {
var ul = $(e.target).children('ul');
var height = ul.css('height');
var width = ul.css('width');
ul.css('top', "-" + height);
ul.fadeToggle(50, function () {
//add open class depending on what's toggled to
if (ul.hasClass('open')) {
ul.removeClass('open');
} else {
ul.addClass('open');
}
});
}
else {
$('.dd_deploy').children('ul:visible').fadeOut(50,function(){
$(this).removeClass("open");
})
}
});​
If you need to further prevent clicking on the opened menu from closing the menu, add an else if that tests for children of that menu.

You dont' really need all that code. All you need is jquery's toggle class to accomplish what you want. simple code like one below should work.
Example Code
$(document).ready(function() {
$('ul.dd_deploy').click(function(){
$('ul.dd').toggle();
});
});​​​​
Firstly, you are defining a document.on function within a document.on function which is fundamentally wrong, you just need to check it once and execute the function once the document is ready.
Secondly why do you want to bind an event to body.click ? it's not really a good idea.
Suggestion
I think you should also look at the hover function which might be useful to you in this case.
