Bootstrap Mobile SubMenu Breaking top level Chrome/Android

This is a page I'm working on currently: http://s.codepen.io/moletek/debug/QNeaXq And basically I think the sub-menu breaks when you open and close the parent item. The background will disappear, like it's closing both elements.
I've done some custom stuff, so you can view the src, but here is my standard html:
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="stcs-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="first active"><a href="welcome" title="welcome" >Welcome</a></li>
<li class="dropdown">About
<ul class="dropdown-menu"><li class="first"><a href="about/our-vision" title="Our Vision" >Our Vision</a></li>
<li><a href="about/our-team" title="Our Team" >Our Team</a></li>
<li><a href="about/church-plants" title="" >Plants</a></li>
<li class="last">Contact Us</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div> <!-- A summary of the menu structure with submenu
You can reproduce this in the codepen mentioned above. Or view the GIF below So basically whenever you tap the dropdown parent, it will appear fine. But if you tap the parent again, the entire background will disappear when the child items do.
I'm quite baffled! I appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Navbar dropdown list auto open and auto close?

I added a dropdown list to the navbar on another site and added the class .open to the list. My intention is as follows: upon load the webpage navbar list contains an img element and opens displaying a promotional offer. So far so good, the page loads and the list drops displaying the ad, and if clicked it then closes.
Ok what I am aiming for is adding a function via jquery or JavaScript or css which will automatically CLOSE the dropdown list after about 5 seconds. I have read that the .open class in bootstraps.min.css is not cleared by default and therefore will remain open unless it is 'clicked' to close it.
<div class="navbar-responsive">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="active">
<li class="open dropdown-menu">
<a href="#" Id="test" class="dropdown-toggle" data- toggle="dropdown"><strong class="caret">
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>
Click to close.
</li>
<li>
<img src="image folder/my_ad_image.png"
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</li>
</ul>
</div><!---end nav collapse--->
</div><!---end container--->
</div>>!---end main navbar--->
This above is what I have written. It rests atop an already existing navbar.
Thanks for reading.
If anyone has any suggestion or could point me in the right direction with respect to tying a jquery timeout function to my .open class or id that would be great. So far I have been unable to tie a jquery function or css to my dropdown list
Thanks.

You can use setTimeout() to implement timers in javascript.
The setTimeout() method calls a function or evaluates an expression
after a specified number of milliseconds.
Adapting your code it can be implemented like this:
CSS:
...
<li id="myid" class="open dropdown-menu">
<strong class="caret"></strong>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>
Click to close.
</li>
<li> ... </li>
</ul>
</li>
...
jScript (assuming you're using jQuery):
$(function() {
setTimeout(function() {
$("#myid").removeClass("open")
}, 5000);
});

Why the anchor does not appear in the url after click?

I have such HTML:
<div class="parrent pull-left">
<ul class="nav nav-tabs nav-stacked">
<li class="active">TAB1</li>
<li class="">TAB2</li>
<li class="">TAB3</li>
</ul>
</div>
This is navigation for tabs. But it behaves something different: when I click on the link (for example: TAB1) - required tab is displayed. But there is not the anchor in url(#tab1 or #tab2 or #tab3). But I need it...
I am some new in fronted and I use ready template. So there are such frameworks:
jquery.js, bootstrap.min.js, js/jquery.isotope.min.js
What should I do??

Maybe it's related to this question and this (if you are using bootstrap for tabs managing).

How not to trigger the Bootstrap tab click on click?

I am trying not to trigger bootstrap tab click in asp.net. Here is my HTML
<div class="addNewTab">
<ul class="nav nav-tabs tabs" data-tabs="tabs">
<li id="li1" class="deactiveLink"><a href="#tabBasicInfo" onclick="return getit();"
data-toggle="tab">Step 1: Details<span> </span></a></li>
li id="li2" class="deactiveLink"><a href="#tabAdditionalInfo" onclick="return getit();"
data-toggle="tab">Step 2: Photos<span></span></a></li>
<li id="li3" class="deactiveLink"><a href="#tabAdditionalFeature"
onclick="return getit();" data-toggle="tab">Step 3:Add. Info <span></span></a>
</li>
<li id="li4" class="deactiveLink"><a href="#tabPreview" onclick="return getit();"
data-toggle="tab">Step 4: Preview<span></span></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
and here is my javascript function
function getit() {
return false;
}
I have tried this in getit()
$('.addNewTab >.nav-tabs > li:nth-child(5)').find('a').trigger('click');
I am new to Bootstrap therefore I am unable to do my task. I do not want to use divs for that. I want to use tab which cannot be clicked. Am I missing something here in my code? What do I need to do?

According to bootstrap 3 docs http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#tabs you can active the tabs either manually be javascript or by adding data-toggle="tab" or data-toggle="pill" on an element.
So you can not add the data-toggle="tab" or data-toggle="pill" but rather active them with javascript when you need it.
As already mentioned in the comments you can remove the href from <a> elements to prevent browser's attemts to navigate to a given url on click, or assign onclick handler to these a elements and use event.preventDefault()

Jquery Mmenu: Open a submenu

I'm trying to open a submenu from the parent link using the mmenu jquery plugin, and almost got it, but once open the submenu, the function also close the menu (the main menu opened from the left).
I got this:
<nav data-role="navbar" data-iconpos="left" id="leftMenu">
<ul>
<li><a id="a_home" href="/" >Home</a></li>
<li><a id="a_what" href="/" >What to do</a></li>
<li>
<a id="a_guides" href="#guidesSubmenu" onclick="$('#leftMenu ul#guidesSubmenu').trigger( 'open.mm' );" >Guides</a>
<ul id="guidesSubmenu">
<li>Beer Guide 2013</li>
<li>Bar Guide 2013</li>
<li>Cheap Eats 2013</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<a id="a_sections" href="#" >Sections</a>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
So, when I click on the Guides link, opens the submenu, but also close the main menu, animating to the right.
Anybody knows how is the right way to open a submenu?
This is the plugin page: http://mmenu.frebsite.nl/
Is not a simple jquery javascript.
Thanks.

The jquery.mmenu plugin automatically appends a "open-submenu"-button to every LI with an UL inside it. If the A doesn't link to an actuall page, all you need to do, is replace it with a SPAN:
<ul>
<li><span>Guides</span>
<ul>
<li>Beer Guide 2013</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

$('li').hover(function(){
$('ul',this).slideDown();
},function(){
$('ul',this).slideUp();
});
Just change the selector with your own li tags class name.I think you can also toggle method.
$('#li').toggle(function() {
$('ul',this).slideDown();
}, function() {
$('ul',this).slideUp();
});

We ran into this exact same scenario today, and after a good amount of research used the following solution (adapted to your situation). It seems like they've changed things around so the data attributes on the elements are not clearly supported, so we moved the initialization to JavaScript.
HTML (did not change):
<nav data-role="navbar" data-iconpos="left" id="leftMenu">
<ul>
<li><a id="a_home" href="/" >Home</a></li>
<li><a id="a_what" href="/" >What to do</a></li>
<li>
<a id="a_guides" href="#guidesSubmenu" onclick="$('#leftMenu ul#guidesSubmenu').trigger( 'open.mm' );" >Guides</a>
<ul id="guidesSubmenu">
<li>Beer Guide 2013</li>
<li>Bar Guide 2013</li>
<li>Cheap Eats 2013</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<a id="a_sections" href="#" >Sections</a>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
JavaScript:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#leftMenu").mmenu({
onClick: {
close: false
}
});
});
</script>
Specifying the close option as false makes it so it does not close the mmenu when you click on the li, and allows the onclick event handler to open up the sub-menu item.
