Close menu when another item is hovered

I am creating a menu with two dropdowns. I need the dropdowns to open when the menu item is hovered over, but close if the other menu item is hovered over.
The problem I am having is getting the first dropdown to close if I hover over the second menu item.
Please see my fiddle here: http://www.bootply.com/uEKWCdNj4C
I've looked through other questions, and this one seems to possibly be of use, but I'm having trouble applying it to my situation: Vertical Menu to stay open on hover then close when another is hovered
So I apologize if this is a duplicate...any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

You can call slideup on the open ul before calling slidedown on the current one. like below
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".nav-basic").hover(function () {
$('ul.menu-applied').slideUp('medium');
$('ul.menu-basic').slideDown('medium');
});
$('ul.menu-basic').bind('mouseleave', function(){
$('ul.menu-basic').slideUp('medium');
});
$(".nav-applied").hover(function () {
$('ul.menu-basic').slideUp('medium');
$('ul.menu-applied').slideDown('medium');
});
$('ul.menu-applied').bind('mouseleave', function(){
$('ul.menu-applied').slideUp('medium');
});
});

You just needed to update your script to call the slideUp function:
$(".nav-basic").hover(function () {
$('ul.menu-basic').slideDown('medium');
$('ul.menu-applied').slideUp('medium');
});
$(".nav-applied").hover(function () {
$('ul.menu-basic').slideUp('medium');
$('ul.menu-applied').slideDown('medium');
});

Your code could use some optimization, but you could basically call slideUp() on all other $(.menu-interior') elements that are not of the target class:
Example: $('.menu-interior:not(.menu-basic)').slideUp();
See forked fiddle here: http://www.bootply.com/DZxktgUtjh
Note: This will close ANY other open menu, rather than having to hard-code all other classes when the menu grows.

So set an class="isHovered" on the element that is hovered.
Set the boxes class="isHovered" aswell ..
If hover is called again , or lets say mouseenter, you check if isHovered is set on the current box and on the other box ... or iterate over any boxes there might be ...
You could aswell store the currently hovered element id in a variable and the box id. Then use these values. As JS is not multithreaded you can rely on the order of execution ...

$(document).ready(function() {
$(".nav-basic").hover(function() {
$('ul.menu-basic').slideToggle('medium');
});
$(".nav-applied").hover(function() {
$('ul.menu-applied').slideToggle('medium');
});
});

click outside bootstrap menu to close it

I tried to find solution to close bootstrap menu when clicking outside of it(in mobile window size), but cant get it to work, I get it to work when clicking one of the 'a' links by this code:
// menu buttons collapses when clicking a link
$('document').ready(function()
{
if ($('a').on('click', function()
{
$('.collapse, #mainContainer').removeClass('in');
$('.navbar-toggle').toggleClass('collapsed'); // button
}));
});
but how to close menu by clicking outside the menu navbar?
here's my page that shows the problem
iwebdesign.se
and yes i tried this already, not working:
similar question

Assuming you want to do something different when clicking outside of the menu (i.e. collapse the menu) than what happens when you click inside the menu, you probably want something like this to determine if you're clicking inside or outside of the menu:
$('body').click(function(event){
// check if the clicked element is a descendent of navigation
if ($(event.target).closest('.navigation').length) {
return; //do nothing if event target is within the navigation
} else {
// do something if the event target is outside the navigation
// code for collapsing menu here...
}
});
https://jsfiddle.net/L3qg4pa8/5/ shows the concept, roughly.
Of course, you will need to replace '.navigation' in the .closest() statement with the appropriate selector for the container of your navigation.

$(document).on('click',function(){
$('.collapse').collapse('hide');
});
Just copy the code and past your custome script or index.html

First dropdown menu not closing after hovering second menu

I get some issue when opening the menu1 dropdown and directly after mouseover the menu2 to open it without closing de menu1.
If I open the menu1 and move the cursor out from the nav to close the dropdown and then mouseover the menu2 it works fine.
If I go directly from menu1 to menu2 or inversely, the menu2 dropdown appear under the menu1 dropdown.
I thinks that I have a mistake in my html or it can be fix with a jquery function but I don't know how to solve this. I wish to add more menu, in the actually there are only two.
I hope that you understand my problem,
Any help would be appreciated
$(document).ready(function () {
var menu = $('.menu')
menu.hide();
$("#mainbutton").mouseenter(function(){
$(".menu").stop().slideDown("fast");
});
$("#nav").mouseleave(function(){
$(".menu").stop().slideUp("fast");
});
var menu2 = $('.menu2')
menu2.hide();
$("#secondboutton").mouseenter(function(){
$(".menu2").stop().slideDown("fast");
});
$("#nav").mouseleave(function(){
$(".menu2").stop().slideUp("fast");
});
});
Here the JSFiddle

I would suggest to add a general class name to all menus .menu and a specific selector for each individual menu (#menu1 or .menu1) as well as an indicator for the active state .active. this way you can simply close all .menu.active
see the following fiddle as a simple proof of concept:
https://jsfiddle.net/ad3a5qyw/2/
EDIT:
I've abstracted the fiddle so you can add data-menu attributes to the nav-items to indicate the associated menu.

I see what's going on here:
It's easy with jQuery and the code you've written already, and here's an example with a new menu item to show how easy it is: https://jsfiddle.net/xyqoj24m/2/
What's going on is that the mouseleave functions are only run when the mouse leaves the entire #nav element. So what needs to be done is handle the hiding/showing of the menus like so:
When the mouse hovers over a menu item, close all other dropdowns and show the correct one.
When the mouse leaves the dropdown or the menu item, close the dropdown.
Take a look at this Javascript and see what that means:
$("#mainbutton").mouseenter(function(){
$(".menu").stop().slideDown("fast");
$(".menu2").stop().slideUp("fast");
$(".menu3").stop().slideUp("fast");
});
$("#secondbutton").mouseenter(function(){
$(".menu2").stop().slideDown("fast");
$(".menu").stop().slideUp("fast");
$(".menu3").stop().slideUp("fast");
});
// leave the first menu dropdown
$("#mainbutton, .menu").mouseleave(function() {
$(".menu").stop().slideUp("fast");
});
// leave the second menu dropdown
$("#secondbutton, .menu2").mouseleave(function() {
$(".menu2").stop().slideUp("fast");
});

onclick dropdown menu with a form, click outside to close

ive got a drop down menu with form elements. the menu element gets set to
display:none
when anything outside the element is clicked ... or at least so i thought.
Here's my little function
$(function(){
$('#loginAcc').click( function(event){
event.stopPropagation();
//show
$('#auth-menu').css('display', 'block');
});
$(document).click( function(){
//hide when click anywhere out the menu
$('#auth-menu').hide();
});
})
the problem i have is that it also closes when i click inside the element, which makes it very difficult, pretty much impossible to complete a form.
#loginAcc
is a horizontal list item that gets clicked, and
#auth-menu
is
if i were to hazard a guess, i would like to think that .toggle() is the culprit, but that's a sheer guess and i wouldn't even know where to start if i were to reimplement it (a little bird told me that it's getting taken out of the spec anyway).
what i would like to happen is that when you click on the #loginAcc list item, the #auth-menu gets set to display:block, and can only be closed if you reclick #loginAcc or anywhere else outside of #auth-menu.
any help would be amazing. thanks

Use a not() selector to exclude the menu:
$(document).not('#auth-menu').click( function(){
//hide when click anywhere out the menu
$('#auth-menu').hide();
});

Jquery dropdown menu using toggle and hover() problem

So I am trying to create a drop down menu using .hover() and .toggle(). While Have managed to get the menu to appear when the user rolls over the link, it disappears when the user moves off the link to select an item from the menu. Is there a method or technique for keeping the menu toggled even when the user isn't still hovering over the link?
Here is the JS:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#menu_link").hover(function () {
$("#the_menu").toggle();
});
});
</script>

Put the menu element inside the link.

The solution can vary greatly depending on the HTML markup you're using. But a general solution to these kinds of things is to let the body element detect "mouseenters" and detect which element the event originated from. If it's not either #menu_link or #the_menu, then hide the menu.
$("body").mouseenter(function (e) {
var eventParents = $(e.target()).parents();
if (eventParents.index($("#menu_link")) == -1 &&
eventParents.index($("#the_menu")) == -1) {
$("#the_menu").hide();
}
});
$("#menu_link").mouseenter(function () {
$("#the_menu").show();
});
This gives you flexibility in, for example, placing the menu link in a different container div to the menu itself.
