Why not supporting submenus ?

[razvanioan]

I see that Bootstrap doesn't support submenus in v3 anymore, but what if we want it ?
Here's a demo of working submenus in v3 (with extra CSS): http://www.bootply.com/92442

With that one and your plugin, hovering on a menu-item on second level which has submenu, just closes the active dropdown (even without data-close-others="true" on it).

So, I'll have to:

• drop submenus support for my client's site (who might make them mandatory)
• drop hover support (which I would have preffered, loved Superfish quite a lot)
• tweak them myself to find a proper solution to keep both;

For the same reason the Bootstrap team dropped them.

I haven't seen anyone using submenus in meaningful ways and the code necessary to make them work well is just too much overhead to justify this. It would be much to work to maintain the million little edge cases and stuff.

In addition, submenus just don't have much of a place on the web right now, especially the mobile web. I don't think dropdowns at all have much place on the web 99% of the time.

If you want it or feel like you have to have it or else have a specific use-case that you want to support, you're welcome to fork and implement it yourself.

I've found a simple solution by looking on your code, and maybe somebody else wants this.

I see that you call your plugin function on [data-hover="dropdown"], which means that if I do NOT add the data-hover attribute on my second level menu, the default behaviour of showing next level will work (on hover using CSS).
