bootstrap 3 multiple nav items opening at once

Question

I'm trying to get multiple navigations working using bootstrap 3. Currently I have an issue where the first menu clicked (ie the burger menu on the left - see attached images) opens all the menu items. The next click closes all the items then subsequent clicks behave as expected with one menu item open at a time.

<div class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top" id="#navGroup">
    <div class="container">
        <div class="row" id="navGroup">
            <div class="navbar-header col-xs-4">
                <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle navbar-left" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".burger-collapse" data-parent="#navGroup">
                <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                </button>
            </div>
            <div class="navbar-header col-xs-4">
                <a class="navbar-brand" href='@Url.Action("Home", "Home")'>
                <i class="glyphicon glyphicon-home logo-glyph"></i>
                </a>
            </div>
            <div class="navbar-header col-xs-4">
                <button class="navbar-toggle glyphicon air-listing-nav glyphicon-user" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".profile-collapse" data-parent="#navGroup"></button>
                <button class="navbar-toggle glyphicon air-listing-nav glyphicon-bell" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".notifications-collapse" data-parent="#navGroup"></button>
                <button class="navbar-toggle glyphicon air-listing-nav glyphicon-question-sign" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".help-collapse" data-parent="#navGroup"></button>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="navbar-collapse collapse burger-collapse">
            <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
                <li>@Html.ActionLink("Home", "Home", "Home")</li>
                <li>@Html.ActionLink("Profile", "Profile", "Profile")</li>
            </ul>
        </div>
        <div  class="navbar-collapse collapse navbar-right profile-collapse">
            <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
                <li>@Html.ActionLink("Profile", "Profile", "Profile")</li>
                <li>@Html.ActionLink("Settings", "Settings", "ManageSettings")</li>
            </ul>
        </div>
        <div  class="navbar-collapse collapse navbar-right notifications-collapse">
            <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
                <li>@Html.ActionLink("Notifications", " ", "Profile")</li>
            </ul>
        </div>
        <div  class="navbar-collapse collapse navbar-right help-collapse">
            <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
                <li>@Html.ActionLink("Help", " ", "Profile")</li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

JS :

<script>    
    $(function () {
        $(document).click(function (event) {
            $('.navbar-collapse').collapse('hide');
        });
    });
</script>

(please ignore styling issues for now, once the menus are working correctly I'll work on styles)

Nav Itens Closed:

Click burger menu and All Nav items open

Should have just one menu open at a time

I've searched everywhere but can't find an answer that works for me. I am using data parent as suggested elsewhere & have unique data-targets for each menu.

Any help would be appreciated.

I think that you can simplify it for yourself based on this example: dropdown example

In practice:

 .navbar-brand-centered { position: absolute; left: 50%; width: 160px; text-align: center; } .navbar>.container .navbar-brand-centered { margin-left: -80px!important; } .navbar-nav>li, .navbar-nav{ float: left !important; } .navbar-right { float: right !important; } .nav.navbar-nav .dropdown { width: 48px; position: relative; } .nav.navbar-nav { margin: 0; } .nav.navbar-nav>li>a { padding-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 15px; } .nav.navbar-nav .dropdown.open .dropdown-menu li a:hover { color: #262626; text-decoration: none; background-color: #f5f5f5; } .nav.navbar-nav .dropdown ul { position: absolute; top: 100%; left: 0; float: left; background-color: #fff; border: 1px solid #ccc; border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,.15); background-clip: padding-box; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.176) 0px 6px 12px; } .nav.navbar-nav.navbar-right .dropdown ul { right: 0; left: auto; } 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css"> <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script> <link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet"> <div class="my-example"> <nav id="myNavbar" class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-toggleable navbar-fixed-top" role="navigation"> <div class="container"> <div class="navbar-header"> <div class="navbar-brand navbar-brand-centered"> <a href="#"> <i class="fa fa-lg fa-home"></i> </a> </div> </div> <!--first burger like dropdown--> <ul class="nav navbar-nav"> <li class="dropdown"> <a href="#" data-toggle="dropdown" class="dropdown-toggle"> <i class="fa fa-lg fa-bars"></i> </a> <ul class="dropdown-menu"> <li><a href="#">Item</a></li> <li><a href="#">Item</a></li> <li><a href="#">Item</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <!--group of 3 icon dropdowns--> <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right"> <li class="dropdown"> <a href="#" data-toggle="dropdown" class="dropdown-toggle"> <i class="fa fa-question"></i> </a> <ul class="dropdown-menu"> <li><a href="#">Item</a></li> <li><a href="#">Item</a></li> <li><a href="#">Item</a></li> </ul> </li> <li class="dropdown"> <a href="#" data-toggle="dropdown" class="dropdown-toggle"> <i class="fa fa-bell"></i> </a> <ul class="dropdown-menu"> <li><a href="#">Item</a></li> <li><a href="#">Item</a></li> <li><a href="#">Item</a></li> </ul> </li> <li class="dropdown"> <a href="#" data-toggle="dropdown" class="dropdown-toggle"> <i class="fa fa-user"></i> </a> <ul class="dropdown-menu"> <li><a href="#">Item</a></li> <li><a href="#">Item</a></li> <li><a href="#">Item</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> </nav> </div> 

And I am not sure why you need that script on the bottom.

edit: changed to be more responsive
