I am brand new to bootstrap and I have come to a problem.
I want to be able to redirect the user from the navbar to either sign in or log in to the website. However, when I have following html, the browser recognize the correct url redirect. but when you click on it, no action happens. If I put the statement outside of the navbar, it redirect fine. Am I missing some setting for navbar? Thanks for any help you can give.
<body id="myPage" data-spy="scroll" data-target=".navbar" data-offset="60">
<nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="container">
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#myNavbar">
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#myPage">Logo</a>
</div>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="myNavbar">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li>ABOUT</li>
<li>CONTACT</li>
<li>SIGN UP</li>
<li>LOG IN</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
I also have this script for the navbar. Not sure if this makes any difference.
$(document).ready(function(){
// Add smooth scrolling to all links in navbar + footer link
$(".navbar a, footer a[href='#myPage']").on('click', function(event) {
// Prevent default anchor click behavior
event.preventDefault();
// Store hash
var hash = this.hash;
// Using jQuery's animate() method to add smooth page scroll
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $(hash).offset().top
}, 900, function(){
// Add hash (#) to URL when done scrolling (default click behavior)
window.location.hash = hash;
});
});
My bootstrap menu is as follows (this is the code snippet for one menu-item out of many):
<!-- Code for Navigable menu (mobile) -->
<nav class="navbar navbar-default" role="navigation">
<div class="container commonWidth">
<button type="button" style="width: 100%" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#led-collapse">
LED & Lighting <b class="caret"></b>
</button>
<!-- Collect the nav links for toggling -->
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse hidden-sm" id="led-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="dropdown visible-xs">
LED Lights<b class="caret visible-xs"></b>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>LED Lamps & Tubes</li>
<li>Downlights, Spotlights & COB</li>
<li>LED Panels</li>
<li>LED Surface</li>
<li>Commercial & Industrial</li>
<li>LED GU10 Fittings</li>
<li>LED Strips</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="dropdown visible-xs">
Luminaires (Fittings)<b class="caret visible-xs"></b>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>Domestic Tube Fittings</li>
<li>Floodlights</li>
</ul>
</li>
</div> <!-- End LED Menu -->
</div> <!-- End commonWidth -->
</nav>
The issue is that immediately after clicking a 3rd level link (.dropdown-menu > li > a), entire 2nd level menu (li class="dropdown visible-xs") collapses. However, I want this to stay open after the 3rd level link is clicked.
Here is the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/dk49/ugzwmhm6/
Any Suggestions?
Thanks.
Once the economy link is clicked the click event is getting propagated to its parent, from there it goes to the next parent and so on . when it reaches the third parent, the third parent element is reacting to it by toggling the open class. So if you stop the propagation it will stay as it is.
Try the code below.
$('.dropdown-menu a').click(function(e){
e.stopPropagation();
})
This code will stop the propagation of the anchor tag to its parent
In case if you want to prevent the default click action use
$('.dropdown-menu a').click(function(e){
if($(this).attr('href') == "#" || $(this).attr('href') == "") // New code
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
})
Update
I have updated the code to prevent scrolling if the URL is # or if there is no URL. this should serve the purpose
As it stands, clicking on "Link" twice redirects you to a page, but whenever you click on and around it such that the menu drops down or goes up, the CSS code
a:active span {
color:#bdbcae;
}
is put into effect. What I am trying to do is make it so that the link only changes color when you click it the second time, resulting in you being redirected to the page. If you click it only once so that only the menu drops down, I want the link to remain its default color.
This is the code in my function below that I was looking at to accomplish this
if ($(this).data('clicks')==2){
$(this).data('clicks', 0);
window.open("accomplishments.html");
}
I was thinking of adding something along the lines of $(this).addClass("active") within this if statement but that doesn't work - and then making it do $(this).removeClass("active") whenever this isn't the case, but none of this works. See my full code below.
Here's my Bootply.
HTML:
<div class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top">

<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse navHeaderCollapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li class="dropdown">
<span>Link</span><b class="caret"></b>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">

<li>2</li>
</ul><!-- END: "dropdown-menu" -->
</li><!-- END: "dropdown" -->

</div><!-- END: "navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top" -->
CSS:
a span {
color:#ffffff;
}
a:hover *.caret {
color:#bdbcae;
}
a:active span {
color:#bdbcae;
}
a:active *.caret {
color:#bdbcae;
}
jQuery:
$(document).on("click", "span", function() {
if(typeof $(this).data('clicks') == 'undefined') {
$(this).data('clicks', 1);
}else {
$(this).data('clicks', $(this).data('clicks')+1);
}
if ($(this).data('clicks')==2){
$(this).data('clicks', 0);
window.open("page.html");
}
});
$(document).click(function(event) {
if(!$(event.target).closest("span").length) {
$("span").data('clicks', 0);
}
});
I think using a "click" and a "dblclick" event will help you, why do you want to set a particular color if you're going to redirect user ?
Jquery Double click event : http://api.jquery.com/dblclick/
I am trying to get my navbar to auto collapse on click. Specifically when it is on a mobile device. I do not see why the below code will not work but I believe I maybe have the '.nav navbar-toggle a' wrong.

<div class="navbar navbar-fixed-top navbar-default" role="navigation">
<div class="container">
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>

Java script (I added this code to the end of bootstrap.js)
function close_toggle() {
if ($(window).width() <= 768) {
$('.nav.navbar-nav a').on('click', function(){
$("#close").click();
});
}
else {
$('.nav.navbar-nav a').off('click');
}
}
close_toggle();
$(window).resize(close_toggle);

Thank to Hide Twitter Bootstrap navbar on click
I commented first:
('.nav navbar-nav a') should be ('.nav.navbar-nav a') see:
CSS rule to apply only if element has BOTH classes and you should apply your click
for closing on .navbar-collapse if i understand your question well
When i test the above i think i should work with the code shown below.
<script>
function close_toggle() {
if ($(window).width() <= 768) {
$('.nav.navbar-nav a').on('click', function(){
$('.navbar-collapse').collapse('hide');
});
}
else {
$('.nav.navbar-nav a').off('click');
}
}
close_toggle();
$(window).resize(close_toggle);
</script>
NB i think .collapse('hide'); make more sense (more readable) than doing click although the effect will be the same maybe.
Its already doing it. Make sure you added the viewport in your metatags
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1">
Reference
On "PRODUCTS" click I slide up a white div (as seen in attached). When in responsive (mobile and tablet), I would like to automaticly close the responsive navbar and only show the white bar.
I tried:
$('.btn-navbar').click();
also tried:
$('.nav-collapse').toggle();
And it does work. However in desktop size, it is also called and does something funky to the menu where it shrinks for a second.
Any ideas?
You don't have to add any extra javascript to what's already included with bootstraps collapse option. Instead simply include data-toggle and data-target selectors on your menu list items just as you do with your navbar-toggle button. So for your Products menu item it would look like this
<li>Products</li>
Then you would need to repeat the data-toggle and data-target selectors for each menu item
EDIT!!!
In order to fix overflow issues and flickering on this fix I'm adding some more code that will fix this and still not have any extra javascript. Here is the new code:
<li>Products</li>
<li>Products</li>
Here it is at work http://jsfiddle.net/jaketaylor/84mqazgq/
This will make your toggle and target selectors specific to screen size and eliminate glitches on the larger menu. If anyone is still having issues with glitches please let me know and I'll find a fix.
Thanks
EDIT: In the bootstrap v4.1.3 & v5.0 I couldnt use visible/hidden classes. Instead of hidden-xs use d-none d-sm-block and instead of visible-xs use d-block d-sm-none.
EDIT: In bootstrap v5, Instead of data-toggle use data-bs-toggle and instead of data-target use data-bs-target.
I've got it to work with animation!
Menu in html:
<div id="nav-main" class="nav-collapse collapse">
<ul class="nav">
<li>
<a href='#somewhere'>Somewhere</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
Binding click event on all a elements in navigation to collapse menu (Bootstrap collapse plugin):
$(function(){
var navMain = $("#nav-main");
navMain.on("click", "a", null, function () {
navMain.collapse('hide');
});
});
EDIT
To make it more generic we can use following code snippet
$(function(){
var navMain = $(".navbar-collapse"); // avoid dependency on #id
// "a:not([data-toggle])" - to avoid issues caused
// when you have dropdown inside navbar
navMain.on("click", "a:not([data-toggle])", null, function () {
navMain.collapse('hide');
});
});
I think you are all over engineering..
$('.navbar-collapse ul li a').click(function(){
$('.navbar-toggle:visible').click();
});
EDIT: To take care of sub menus, make sure their toggle anchor has the dropdown-toggle class on it.
$(function () {
$('.navbar-collapse ul li a:not(.dropdown-toggle)').click(function () {
$('.navbar-toggle:visible').click();
});
});
EDIT 2: Add support for phone touch.
$(function () {
$('.navbar-collapse ul li a:not(.dropdown-toggle)').bind('click touchstart', function () {
$('.navbar-toggle:visible').click();
});
});
I really liked Jake Taylor's idea of doing it without additional JavaScript and taking advantage of Bootstrap's collapse toggle. I found you can fix the "flickering" issue present when the menu isn't in collapsed mode by modifying the data-target selector slightly to include the in class. So it looks like this:
<li>Products</li>
I didn't test it with nested dropdowns/menus, so YMMV.
just to be complete, in Bootstrap 4.0.0-beta using .show worked for me...
<li>
Products
</li>
I'm assuming you have a line like this defining the nav area, based on Bootstrap examples and all
<div class="nav-collapse collapse" >
Simply add the properties as such, like on the MENU button
<div class="nav-collapse collapse" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".nav-collapse">
I've added to <body> as well, worked. Can't say I've profiled it or anything, but seems a treat to me...until you click on a random spot of the UI to open the menu, so not so good that.

This works, but does not animate.
$('.btn-navbar').addClass('collapsed');
$('.nav-collapse').removeClass('in').css('height', '0');
In the HTML I added a class of nav-link to the a tag of each navigation link.
$('.nav-link').click(
function () {
$('.navbar-collapse').removeClass('in');
}
);
this solution have a fine work, on desktop and mobile.
<div id="navbar" class="navbar-collapse collapse" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse collapse">
Just to spell out user1040259's solution, add this code to your $(document).ready(function() {});
$('.nav').click( function() {
$('.btn-navbar').addClass('collapsed');
$('.nav-collapse').removeClass('in').css('height', '0');
});
As they mention, this doesn't animate the move... but it does close the nav bar on item selection
For those using AngularJS and Angular UI Router with this, here is my solution (using mollwe's toggle).
Where ".navbar-main-collapse" is my "data-target".
Create directive:
module.directive('navbarMainCollapse', ['$rootScope', function ($rootScope) {
return {
restrict: 'C',
link: function (scope, element) {
//watch for state/route change (Angular UI Router specific)
$rootScope.$on('$stateChangeSuccess', function () {
if (!element.hasClass('collapse')) {
element.collapse('hide');
}
});
}
};
}]);
Use Directive:
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse navbar-main-collapse">
<your menu>
This should do the trick.
Requires bootstrap.js.
Example => http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#collapse
$('.nav li a').click(function() {
$('#nav-main').collapse('hide');
});
This does the same thing as adding 'data-toggle="collapse"' and 'href="yournavigationID"' attributes to navigation menus tags.
I'm using the mollwe function, although I added 2 improvements:
a) Avoid the dropdown closing if the link clicked is collapsed (including other links)
b) Hide the dropdown too, if you are clicking the visible web content.
jQuery.fn.exists = function() {
return this.length > 0;
}
$(function() {
var navMain = $(".navbar-collapse");
navMain.on("click", "a", null, function() {
if ($(this).attr("href") !== "#") {
navMain.collapse('hide');
}
});
$("#content").bind("click", function() {
if ($(".navbar-collapse.navbar-ex1-collapse.in").exists()) {
navMain.collapse('hide');
}
});
});
Not the newest thread but i searched for a solution for the same Problem and found one (a mix of some others).
I gave the NavButton:
<type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse"> ...
an id / Identifier like:
<button id="navcop" type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
Not the finest "Idea" - but: Works for me!
Now you can check up the visibility of your button (with jquery) like:
var target = $('#navcop');
if(target.is(":visible")){
$('#navcop').click();
}
(NOTE: This is just a Code snipped ! I used a "onclick" Event on my Nav Links! (Starting a AJAX Reguest.)
The result is: If the Button is "visible" it got "clicked" ... So: No Bug if you use the "Fullscreen view" of Bootstrap (width of over 940px).
Greetings

PS: It works fine with IE9, IE10 and Firefox 25. Didnt checked up others - But i can't see a Problem :-)
This worked for me. I have done like, when i click on the menu button, im adding or removing the class 'in' because by adding or removing that class the toggle is working by default. 'e.stopPropagation()' is to stop the default animation by bootstrap(i guess) you can also use the 'toggleClass' in place of add or remove class.
$('#ChangeToggle').on('click', function (e) {
if ($('.navbar-collapse').hasClass('in')) {
$('.navbar-collapse').removeClass('in');
e.stopPropagation();
} else {
$('.navbar-collapse').addClass('in');
$('.navbar-collapse').collapse();
}
});
Bootstrap 4 solution without any Javascript
Add attributes data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarSupportedContent.show" to the div <div class="collapse navbar-collapse">
Make sure you provide the correct id in data-target
<div className="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarSupportedContent" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarSupportedContent.show">
.show is to avoid menu flickering in large resolutions

I found an easy solution for this. Just add the toggle code of the button on the navbar links too.
In the below example is the code data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#navbarTogglerDemo02".
This will close the menu when clicked and follow the link
<!--data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#navbarTogglerDemo02" from toggle button -->
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#navbarTogglerDemo02" aria-controls="navbarTogglerDemo02" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse nav-format-mobile" id="navbarTogglerDemo02">
<ul class="navbar-nav ms-auto mb-2 mb-lg-0"> <!--https://stackoverflow.com/a/65365121/5763690-->
<li class="nav-item">
<!--data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#navbarTogglerDemo02" from toggle button to nav item -->
<a class="nav-link" aria-current="page" [routerLink]="'about'" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#navbarTogglerDemo02">About</a>

You cau use
ul.nav {
display: none;
}
This will by default close the navbar.
Please let me know anybody finds this usefull
If for example your toggle-able icon is visible only for extra small devices, then you could do something like this:
$('[data-toggle="offcanvas"]').click(function () {
$('#side-menu').toggleClass('hidden-xs');
});
Clicking [data-toggle="offcanvas"] will add bootstrap's .hidden-xs to my #side-menu which will hide the side-menu content, but will become visible again if you increase the window size.
$('.navbar-toggle').trigger('click');
if menu html is
<div id="nav-main" class="nav-collapse collapse">
<ul class="nav">
<li>
<a href='#somewhere'>Somewhere</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
on nav toggle 'in' class is added and removed from the toggle. check if responsive menu is opened then perform the close toggle.
$('.nav-collapse .nav a').on('click', function(){
if ( $( '.nav-collapse' ).hasClass('in') ) {
$('.navbar-toggle').click();
}
});
Tuggle Nav Close, IE browser compatible answer, without any console error.
If you are using bootstrap, use this
$('.nav li a').on('click', function () {
if ($("#navbar").hasClass("in")) {
$('.navbar-collapse.in').show();
}
else {
$('.navbar-collapse.in').hide();
}
})
I tried the other suggestions in my Vue.js 3 app, however my vue-router router-links wouldn't work anymore.
I created a small function to click the menu toggle, if the menu had the "show" class. This worked great for me in all cases.
<template>
...
<div
id="navbarNavigation"
class="collapse navbar-collapse"
>
<ul
class="navbar-nav me-auto mb-2 mb-lg-0"
>
<li class="nav-item">
<router-link
:to="route.url"
class="nav-link"
#click="closeMenu('navbarNavigation')"
>
My route name
</router-link>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
...
</template>
<script>
setup (props) {
const closeMenu = (id) => {
const menuShown = document.getElementById(id).classList.contains('show')
if (menuShown) {
const menuToggle = document.getElementsByClassName('navbar-toggler')[0]
menuToggle.click()
}
}
return { closeMenu }
}
</script>
For peeps looking for a solution concerning Vue 3 router-link with Bootstrap 5 + data-bs-attributes:
Using data-bs-attributes to toggle the nav directly on a Vue-router-link doesn't seem to work - so instead you need to wrap each of your nav-links in a parent element if not already done (an li would be the obvious choice) and apply the relevant data-bs-attributes on that element.
In short - instead of this:
<li class="nav-item">
<router-link
to="/galaxy"
class="nav-link d-flex"
data-bs-toggle="collapse"
data-bs-target="#navbarCollapse.show"
>
<v-icon name="gi-galaxy" size="1" class="align-middle" scale="1.5" />
<span class="flex-fill align-middle text-start ms-3 ms-lg-1">The Galaxy</span>
</router-link>
</li>
Use this:
<li class="nav-item" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#navbarCollapse.show">
<router-link to="/galaxy" class="nav-link d-flex">
<v-icon name="gi-galaxy" class="align-middle" scale="1.5" />
<span class="flex-fill align-middle text-start ms-3 ms-lg-1">The Galaxy</span>
</router-link>
</li>
