bootstrap dropdown not working with ajax

Question

So I am creating my blog with Django and I am developing the notification system. I want when the user click the drop to mark all notifications as seen its working and every thing is working fine but when I add the Ajax the dropdown stop working but the Ajax works fine I tried changing the script position in HTML but nothing.

Using

• bootstrap 3.3.7 locally
• jquery

the ajax :

<script>
    $(document).ready(function() {
    $("#n_d").click(function(event){
        $.ajax({
             type:"POST",
             url:"{% url 'seen' %}",
             success: function(){
                document.getElementById("mcount").innerHTML = 0
             }
        });
        return false;
   });

});
</script>

the dropdown (it's inside a navbar)

{% if user.is_authenticated %}
         <li class="dropdown">
         {% notifications request as notifications %}
      <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" id="n_d" onclick="return x=1" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false"><i aria-hidden="true" class="fa fa-inbox "> <span class="label label-info" id="mcount">{% noticount request %}</span></i></a>
      <ul class="dropdown-menu">
          {% load blog_tags %}

          {% for notification in notifications %}
              <li>
                <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-3"><div class="notify-img"><img src="https://www.awn.com/sites/default/files/styles/userthumbnail_tiny/public/avatar92.jpg?itok=i7013HnC" alt=""></div></div>
                  <div class="col-md-9 col-sm-9 col-xs-9 pd-l0"><a href="{% url 'detail' notification.post_pk %}">{{ notification.FromUser }}&nbsp;{{ notification.content }}</a></div>
                </li>
          {% endfor %}
      </ul>
    </li>
    {% endif %}

the weird tags are Django stuff.

Answer 1

It seems that you have an error in your code! I can understand that you copy-pasted some stuff because it is not very consistent.

You are having this onclick="return x=1" data-toggle="dropdown" and you are listening for another onClick event in the jQuery script above.

By having this you are overwriting the initial object onclick and probably conflict with the toggle="dropdown" which triggers the menu to open.

You should try a different implementation there.

Try to hack it by removing data-toogle="dropdown" and add $($(this).data("target")).modal("show"); instead of return false in your ajax code.
