Button Dropdown Menu Items not clickable on iPhone

[ShivX]

Since 2.1.0, Button dropdown menu items cannot be clicked/selected on iPhone (Unable to test on other touch devices to confirm). The dropdown menu closes as soon as you try to click an item from the dropdown.

This issue is repeatable on the Bootstrap Sample Page: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/components.html#buttonDropdowns

To clarify, I also applied the 4497 fix to see if that helped, and no luck: #4497

[mdo]

Closing as a dupe of #4497.

[ShivX]

The 4497 "fix" does not fix this issue though? And the issue I reported is specific to iPhone...

[tonybruess]

+1 to what ShivX said

[mfansler]

@markdotto probably meant to cite #4550 as the original which this issue duplicates.

Both #4550 and #4497 are included in the 2.1.1 Milestone.

[ShivX]

Thanks for the clarification :) 2.1.1 can't come soon enough!

update to 2.1.1 doesn't change the problem - button dropdown menu still not clickable on iPhone and other smarphones.

[niels-s]

Updating to 2.1.1 doesn't help for me neither, is there anybody who had a successful fix?

[RusAlex]

the same issue. iOS simulator 5.0 , iPhone and iPad as well.

[autoreverse]

Ditto on iPad

[TertiumQuid]

Broken++. Using 2.1.1, across iOS platforms.

Any FIX for for this? I have found this problem yesterday, IOS5 on iPad, in Chrome and in built in browser

[luxlyny]

I encounter the same issue, testing on iPAD. hope this gonna be fix soon.

[tkawa]

I'm on the same issue. probably fixed in this code for a while.

Add this after line 144 of js/bootstrap-dropdown.js:

    .on('touchstart.dropdown.data-api', '.dropdown-menu', function (e) { e.stopPropagation() })

[luxlyny]

@tkawa : you make my day. Thanks a lot ! pod2g

[tkawa]

I had not noticed, the same code has been written on #4550. see there for details.

[antonmedv]

Hi!
was the problem solved with the 2.2.2?

[Yohn]

@beurre yes and no. they added the touchstart work around but it also introduced a few other bugs. I believe they're trying to work something out for the next release

[beurre]

@Yohn thank you! let's see then.

[orokusaki]

This is still an issue on iPhone, using the latest version downloaded from the website.

[occammd]

I noticed problems again with iphone

[portalsinc]

Same here, iPhone 4s with Bootstrap 2.3.2

[cvrebert]

@orokusaki @occammd @portalsinc: This issue is way too ancient. Y'all want #7968.

[portalsinc]

@cvrebert Thanks, Chris. #7968 it is.

[arcoder]

Problem repeats on iphone5.

I was searching for the fix from yesterday, and your solution work like a charm!!
Thanks a lot tkawa!!!

[miguegaete]

In your dropdown.js file looks the following string:

"ontouchstart"

and replace by:

"disable-ontouchstart"

This is the ultimate solution to this problem.

[cvrebert]

Locking since this issue is rather old and about now-unsupported Bootstrap v2.
