How to select value of dropdown with ul

Here is my code and it's not selecting the value of the drop down list.
I tried many different ways but not working
<div class="container" style="height: 0;">
<ul class="psh__dpdw ">
<li class="button-dropdown">
<a class="dropdown-toggle">
something <!-- here should be desplayed the dropdown-menu list when i click -->
<img src="{{theme_url}}/assets/images/arrow-down.png" alt="arrow-down">
</a> {{ content:categories category_group_id="57" class="dropdown-menu" id=""}}
{{special}} {{ /content:categories }}
<!--<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>
Soemthing
</li>
</ul> -->
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<script>
$('.dropdown-menu li').find('a').change(function() {
var dropdown = $(this).closest('.dropdown-toggle');
var radioname = $(this).attr('name');
var checked = 'a[name=' + radioname + ']:checked';
//update the text
var checkedtext = $(checked).closest('.dropdown-menu li').text();
dropdown.find('a').text(checkedtext);
//retrieve the checked value, if needed in page
var thisvalue = dropdown.find(checked).val();
alert(thisvalue);
});
</script>**
The button where you click on the drop-down menu, I want to display the value on the button part. Also, I am using the CMS code so, any suggestion?
How can I solve this?

First you need to get container div using closest() and use find to get dropdown-toggle using find().
And also you have used wrong method for a tag, you need to use click instead of change like this
$('.dropdown-menu li a').click(function() {});
DEMO
$('.dropdown-menu li a').click(function() {
var dropdown = $(this).closest(".container").find('.dropdown-toggle');
dropdown.text($(this).text());
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="container" style="height: 0;">
<ul class="psh__dpdw ">
<li class="button-dropdown">
<a class="dropdown-toggle">
<img src="{{theme_url}}/assets/images/arrow-down.png" alt="arrow-down">
</a> {{ content:categories category_group_id="57" class="dropdown-menu" id=""}}
{{special}} {{ /content:categories }}
<br><br>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>
Prishtinë
</li>
<li>
Gjilan
</li>
<li>
Prizren
</li>
<li>
Pejë
</li>

on click 'toggle' firing all classes with the name instead of the one clicked

I am currently having a fairly classic problem in jquery. When a class is clicked (within a ul) all elements with that class name are being toggled. I really only want the the elements to toggle to be the the element that is click, here is some of my code:
js:
$(function(){
var list = $('.lists');
list.on({
'click': function(){
$('.list-display').toggle('slow');
}
});
});
html:
<ul class ='lists'>
<li> Soccer
<ul class='list-display'>
<li> Kick </li>
<li> Dribble </li>
<li> Pass </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li> Basketball </li>
<ul class='list-display'>
<li> Shoot </li>
<li> Dribble </li>
<li> Pass </li>
</ul>
<li> Baseball </li>
<ul class='list-display'>
<li> Catch </li>
<li> Throw </li>
<li> Hit </li>
</ul>
</ul>
When I click any li in the main ul (Soccer, Basketball, Baseball) all of the uls embedded in their category toggle. I only want the one clicked to toggle. How can I re arrange my function to only toggle the one clicked? I imagine I have to use the 'this' keyword but am unfamiliar with using it.

Try
list.on({
'click': function(){
$('.list-display', this).toggle('slow');
}});
I looks for .list-display items inside the currently clicked element.

Use this (Example):
$('.lists').on('click', 'li', function(){
$('ul.list-display', this).toggle('slow');
});
Also, you have wrong HTML, use something like this:
<ul class ='lists'>
<li> Soccer
<ul class='list-display'>
<li> Kick </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li> Basketball
<ul class='list-display'>
<li> Shoot </li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
You didn't put all uls inside li, you have two uls like this:
<li> Basketball</li>
<ul class='list-display'>
<li>...</li>
</ul>
<li> Baseball</li>
<ul class='list-display'>
<li>...</li>
</ul>

How to add class dynamically using ajax.?

When i click on any name I have to add class "active" for selected name's anchor tag and as well as department names of that user.
<ul id="orglistingid">
<li>
<a>Sales </a> <!--Deparemtn Name -->
<ul id="dId">
<li>
<a>Rahul </a> <!--User -->
</li>
<li>
<a>Nitin </a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul id="orglistingid">
<li>
<a class="active">Development</a>
<ul>
<li id="dId">
<a class="active">Rokesh </a>
</li>
<li>
<a>Preeti</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
I am using below code, can anyone tell what correction i need to do..?
if (orgID != null && orgID == 'dId') {
$("#dId li a").removeClass("orglistactive");
$(this).attr("class","orglistactive");
var parentID = $(e.target).parent().parent().parent().attr("id");
alert($(e.target).parent().parent().parent().attr("id"));
$("#"+parentID+" a").attr("class","orglistactive");
}

Looks like you are trying to achieve something as shown below:
<script type="text/javascript">
var orgID = $('#dId');
if(orgID.attr('id') == 'dId'){
orgID.find('>li>a').addClass("orglistactive");
var parentID = orgID.attr("id");
alert(orgID.attr("id"));
}
</script>
But couple of things are found, are not correct from html and jquery perspective.
Id are unique but you have used 'dId' for more than one time.
e.target works only when there is an event attached with an element or can be captured using "window.event || e". In your code I could not see the purpose of e.target
Hope this helps! :)

This can be quickly achieved with a little of jQuery.
First Approach
$('ul a').click(function(){
$(this).addClass('orglistactive');
$(this).parent().parent().parent().find('a:first').addClass('orglistactive');
});
Take a look at a live demo: http://jsfiddle.net/augusto1982/6xM2P/
Second Approach
One thing to keep in mind is that this code works ok if there's no other list in the page. If this is not the case, you should use some CSS class to determine the object to bind the click function. Otherwise, the jQuery selector gets a bit messy.
$('#orglistingid li ul li a').click(function(){
$(this).addClass('orglistactive');
$(this).parent().parent().parent().find('a:first').addClass('orglistactive');
});
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/augusto1982/GXcvD/
Third Approach
I would also recommend you to add a class to each user anchor, to make it easier.
HTML
<ul id="orglistingid">
<li>
<a>Sales </a> <!--Deparemtn Name -->
<ul id="dId">
<li>
<a class='user'>Rahul </a> <!--User -->
</li>
<li>
<a class='user'>Nitin </a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul id="orglistingid">
<li>
<a class="active">Development</a>
<ul>
<li id="dId">
<a class="active user">Rokesh </a>
</li>
<li>
<a class='user'>Preeti</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
jQuery
$('.user').click(function(){
$(this).addClass('orglistactive');
$(this).parent().parent().parent().find('a:first').addClass('orglistactive');
});
Take a look at this second example: http://jsfiddle.net/augusto1982/GW4mt/
Final Approach
In order to avoid all the parent()...parent() calls, you could use the closest method, but you need to change your HTML a bit.
HTML
<ul id="orglistingid">
<li class='department'>
<a>Sales </a> <!--Deparemtn Name -->
<ul id="dId">
<li>
<a class='user'>Rahul </a> <!--User -->
</li>
<li>
<a class='user'>Nitin </a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul id="orglistingid">
<li class='department'>
<a class="active">Development</a>
<ul>
<li id="dId">
<a class="active user">Rokesh </a>
</li>
<li>
<a class='user'>Preeti</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
jQuery
$('.user').click(function(){
$(this).addClass('orglistactive');
$(this).closest('.department').find('a:first').addClass('orglistactive');
});

Like other comments, I'd recommend you to have unique IDs. While this is not a restriction, is a best practice.

jQuery click filter lists

apologies but i'm fairly new to js. Basically i have the main navigation at the top (#filter), then i have 3 further lists (#one, #two and #three).
What i want to do is when clicked on All it shows all of the list items from #one, #two and #three. Then when clicked on One it only shows the list items from #one, Two from #two and Three from #three.
Here's the mark-up to help.
<ul id="filter">
<li class="current">
All
</li>
<li>
One
</li>
<li>
Two
</li>
<li>
Three
</li>
</ul>
<ul id="one">
<li>
1
</li>
<li>
1
</li>
</ul>
<ul id="two">
<li>
2
</li>
<li>
2
</li>
</ul>
<ul id="three">
<li>
3
</li>
<li>
3
</li>
</ul>

$(function() {
$('#filter a').on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var clicked = $.trim( $(this).text().toLowerCase() );
if ( clicked == 'all' ) {
$('#one, #two, #three').show();
}else{
$('#one, #two, #three').hide();
$('#' + clicked).show();
}
$(this).closest('li')
.addClass('current')
.siblings()
.removeClass('current');
});
});

If element has children html elements

I the following un-ordered list.
<ul>
<li>
<a class="hlink hlink-1" href="#"> Prank Boss Apps </a>
<ul>
<li> link 1 </li>
<li> link 2 </li>
<li> link 3 </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<a class="hlink hlink-2" href="#"> Uninstall an app. </a>
</li>
<li>
<a class="hlink hlink-3" href="#"> Contact Us </a>
</li>
</ul>
In the un-ordered list, not every list-item will have another un-ordered list.
<li> blah
<ul>
<li> link 1 </li>
<li> link 2 </li>
<li> link 3 </li>
</ul>
</li>
So some will just have a link inside of the list item and others will have a un-ordered list inside.
How can I check if the list item doesn't have another un-ordered list inside of it?

function hasChildULs(thisList)
{
if ($(thisList).children('ul').length > 0)
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}

Once you've got a reference to the li element you can use this.
function isLeafNode(liElement) {
return !liElement.getElementsByTagName("ul").length;
}
