Bootstrap multiselect used in a Bootstrap dropdown-menu

Question

when I use multiselect independently, it works well.

but when I put it in a bootstrap dropdown-menu, as we know, if we click on the dropdown-menu, it's window will be closed.

so I use stopPropagation() to stop click event progating to dropdown-menu, however, by doing this, the multiselect failed working, while the 'test' can call the function test() correctly.

my code is as follows:

<ul class='dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-right'>
  <li>
    <div class='container-fluid'>
      <div class='row' id='filter-container'>
        <div class='col-md-12'>
          <h4><a onclick='test();'>test</a></h4>
          <select id='example-getting-started' multiple='multiple'>
            <option value='aaaaaa'>bbbbbb</option>
            <option value='cccccc'>cccccc</option>
            <option value='dddddd'>dddddd</option>
            <option value='eeeeee'>eeeeee</option>
          </select>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </li>
</ul>




$('#filter-container').click(function(e) {
  e.stopPropagation();
});

I came upon the same problem, and found this bootstrap plugin that takes care of all that. It'll keep the dropdown open for a multiple select. The snippet seems to have issues pr

 <link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/> <link href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/silviomoreto/bootstrap-select/master/dist/css/bootstrap-select.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/> <select class="selectpicker" multiple> <option>Mustard</option> <option>Ketchup</option> <option>Relish</option> </select> <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script> <script src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/silviomoreto/bootstrap-select/master/dist/js/bootstrap-select.min.js"></script> 

The snippet seems to have issues presenting the mutliselect properly.

Answer 2

conclusion:

@see dropdown source link

the dropdown event will proppagating to document as

$(document)
    .on('click.bs.dropdown.data-api', clearMenus)
    .on('click.bs.dropdown.data-api', '.dropdown form', function (e) { e.stopPropagation() })
    .on('click.bs.dropdown.data-api', toggle, Dropdown.prototype.toggle)
    .on('keydown.bs.dropdown.data-api', toggle, Dropdown.prototype.keydown)
    .on('keydown.bs.dropdown.data-api', '.dropdown-menu', Dropdown.prototype.keydown)

}(jQuery);

so there has no method to put multiselect in a Bootstrap dropdown-menu.
