Bootstrap's Dropdown Extension

Ever needed to use a Bootstrap dropdown as a normal HTML dropdown? Now you can!

Features

• Automatically update the selected text of the dropdown
• onChange callback when an item of the list is selected
• Supports HTML5 data attributes

How to use

All you need to do is include this jQuery plugin into your call, create a Bootstrap dropdown and run this

$("#your-dropdown").dropdown({
  onChange: function(data) {
    console.log("Index: " + data.index + ", Value: " + data.value);
  }
});

If you need to return a value different than the text the dropdown display, simply attach an data-value='yourvalue' into the anchor like this

<li><a role="menuitem" tabindex="-1" href="#" data-value="your real value">Display value</a></li>
