title: Dropdowns
description: Toggle contextual overlays for displaying lists of links and more with the Bootstrap dropdown plugin.

Dropdowns are toggleable, contextual overlays for displaying lists of links and more. They're made interactive with the included Bootstrap dropdown JavaScript plugin. They're toggled by clicking, not by hovering; this is [an intentional design decision.](http://markdotto.com/2012/02/27/bootstrap-explained-dropdowns/)

Wrap the dropdown's toggle (your button or link) and the dropdown menu within `.dropdown`, or another element that declares `position: relative;`. Dropdowns can be triggered from `<a>` or `<button>` elements to better fit your potential needs.
### Single button dropdowns
Any single `.btn` can be turned into a dropdown toggle with some markup changes. Here's how you can put them to work with either `<button>` elements:
2014-07-12 07:34:47 +02:00
{% example html %}
<div class="dropdown open">
<button class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" type="button" id="dropdownMenuButton" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
Dropdown button
2014-07-12 07:34:47 +02:00
</button>
<div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="dropdownMenuButton">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a>
</div>
</div>
{% endexample %}
And with `<a>` elements:
{% example html %}
<div class="dropdown open">
<a class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" href="https://example.com" id="dropdownMenuLink" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
Dropdown link
</a>
<div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="dropdownMenuLink">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a>
</div>
2014-07-12 07:34:47 +02:00
</div>
{% endexample %}
The best part is you can do this with any button variant, too:
<div class="bd-example">
<div class="btn-group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">Default</button>
<div class="dropdown-menu">

<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a>

</div>
</div><!-- /btn-group -->
<div class="btn-group">

</div><!-- /btn-group -->

<div class="dropdown-menu">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a>
<div class="dropdown-divider"></div>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Separated link</a>
</div>
</div><!-- /btn-group -->
</div>
{% highlight html %}
<!-- Example single danger button -->
<div class="btn-group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">

<div class="dropdown-menu">

<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Separated link</a>
</div>
</div>
{% endhighlight %}
### Split button dropdowns
Similarly, create split button dropdowns with virtually the same markup as single button dropdowns, but with the addition of `.dropdown-toggle-split` for proper spacing around the dropdown caret.
We use this extra class to reduce the horizontal `padding` on either side of the caret by 25% and remove the `margin-left` that's added for regular button dropdowns. Those extra changes keep the caret centered in the split button and provide a more appropriately sized hit area next to the main button.
<div class="bd-example">
<div class="btn-group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">Default</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle dropdown-toggle-split" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">

## Sizing
Button dropdowns work with buttons of all sizes, including default and split dropdown buttons.
<div class="bd-example">
<div class="btn-toolbar" role="toolbar">

{% endhighlight %}
## Dropup variation
Trigger dropdown menus above elements by adding `.dropup` to the parent element.
<div class="bd-example">
<div class="btn-toolbar" role="toolbar">
<div class="btn-group dropup">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">

<div class="dropdown-divider"></div>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Separated link</a>
</div>
</div>
<div class="btn-group dropup">

<span class="sr-only">Toggle Dropdown</span>
</button>
<div class="dropdown-menu">
<!-- Dropdown menu links -->
</div>
</div>
{% endhighlight %}
## Menu items
Historically dropdown menu contents *had* to be links, but that's no longer the case with v4. Now you can optionally use `<button>` elements in your dropdowns instead of just `<a>`s.
{% example html %}
<div class="dropdown open">
2015-08-25 14:37:08 +02:00
<button class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" type="button" id="dropdownMenu2" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
Dropdown
</button>
2015-08-25 14:37:08 +02:00
<div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="dropdownMenu2">
<button class="dropdown-item" type="button">Action</button>
<button class="dropdown-item" type="button">Another action</button>
<button class="dropdown-item" type="button">Something else here</button>
</div>
</div>
{% endexample %}
## Menu alignment
2014-07-12 07:34:47 +02:00
By default, a dropdown menu is automatically positioned 100% from the top and along the left side of its parent. Add `.dropdown-menu-right` to a `.dropdown-menu` to right align the dropdown menu.
{% callout info %}
**Heads up!** Dropdowns are positioned only with CSS and may need some additional styles for exact alignment.
{% endcallout %}
2014-07-12 07:34:47 +02:00
{% example html %}
<div class="btn-group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
This dropdown's menu is right-aligned
</button>
<div class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-right">
<button class="dropdown-item" type="button">Action</button>
<button class="dropdown-item" type="button">Another action</button>
<button class="dropdown-item" type="button">Something else here</button>
</div>
</div>
{% endexample %}
2014-07-12 07:34:47 +02:00
## Menu headers
2014-07-12 07:34:47 +02:00
Add a header to label sections of actions in any dropdown menu.
{% example html %}
<div class="dropdown-menu">
<h6 class="dropdown-header">Dropdown header</h6>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a>
</div>
2014-07-12 07:34:47 +02:00
{% endexample %}
## Menu dividers
2014-07-12 07:34:47 +02:00
Separate groups of related menu items with a divider.
{% example html %}
<div class="dropdown-menu">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a>
<div class="dropdown-divider"></div>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Separated link</a>
</div>
2014-07-12 07:34:47 +02:00
{% endexample %}
## Disabled menu items
2014-07-12 07:34:47 +02:00
Add `.disabled` to items in the dropdown to **style them as disabled**.
2014-07-12 07:34:47 +02:00
{% example html %}
<div class="dropdown-menu">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Regular link</a>
<a class="dropdown-item disabled" href="#">Disabled link</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another link</a>
</div>
2014-07-12 07:34:47 +02:00
{% endexample %}
## Usage
Via data attributes or JavaScript, the dropdown plugin toggles hidden content (dropdown menus) by toggling the `.open` class on the parent list item.
On mobile devices, opening a dropdown adds a `.dropdown-backdrop` as a tap area for closing dropdown menus when tapping outside the menu, a requirement for proper iOS support. **This means that switching from an open dropdown menu to a different dropdown menu requires an extra tap on mobile.**
Note: The `data-toggle="dropdown"` attribute is relied on for closing dropdown menus at an application level, so it's a good idea to always use it.
### Via data attributes
Add `data-toggle="dropdown"` to a link or button to toggle a dropdown.
{% highlight html %}
<div class="dropdown">
2015-06-19 08:56:43 +02:00
<button id="dLabel" type="button" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
Dropdown trigger
</button>
<div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="dLabel">
...
</div>
</div>
{% endhighlight %}
### Via JavaScript
Call the dropdowns via JavaScript:
{% highlight js %}
$('.dropdown-toggle').dropdown()
{% endhighlight %}
{% callout info %}
#### `data-toggle="dropdown"` still required
Regardless of whether you call your dropdown via JavaScript or instead use the data-api, `data-toggle="dropdown"` is always required to be present on the dropdown's trigger element.
{% endcallout %}
### Options
*None.*
### Methods
2015-08-11 01:16:39 +02:00
| Method | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `$().dropdown('toggle')` | Toggles the dropdown menu of a given navbar or tabbed navigation. |
### Events
All dropdown events are fired at the `.dropdown-menu`'s parent element and have a `relatedTarget` property, whose value is the toggling anchor element.
2015-08-11 01:16:39 +02:00
| Event | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `show.bs.dropdown` | This event fires immediately when the show instance method is called. |
| `shown.bs.dropdown` | This event is fired when the dropdown has been made visible to the user (will wait for CSS transitions, to complete). |
| `hide.bs.dropdown` | This event is fired immediately when the hide instance method has been called. |
| `hidden.bs.dropdown`| This event is fired when the dropdown has finished being hidden from the user (will wait for CSS transitions, to complete). |
{% highlight js %}
$('#myDropdown').on('show.bs.dropdown', function () {
// do something…
})
{% endhighlight %}
