Usage

Include required files:

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="jquery.dropdown.css" />`
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.dropdown.js"></script>`

Create a dropdown and insert it before the closing body tag:

<div id="dropdown-1" class="dropdown-menu has-tip">
    <ul>
        <li><a href="#1">Item 1</a></li>
        <li><a href="#2">Item 2</a></li>
        <li><a href="#3">Item 3</a></li>
        <li class="divider"></li>
        <li><a href="#4">Item 4</a></li>
        <li><a href="#5">Item 5</a></li>
        <li><a href="#5">Item 6</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>

Add the data-dropdown attribute to any HTML element:

<a href="#" data-dropdown="#dropdown-1">dropdown</a>

There’s no need to initialize it! The plugin will handle everything from here.

Special Classes

To disable the dropdown, add the dropdown-disabled class to the trigger element
To offset positioning, add data-horizontal-offset="10" and/or data-vertical-offset="10" to the trigger element
To add a tip to the dropdown, add the has-tip class to the dropdown element
To make the dropdown anchor to the right, add the anchor-right class to the dropdown element: Example

Disabling content within a larger trigger

Suppose you enable the dropdown on a container (i.e. a table row). To disable the dropdown on items within the row, add the class dropdown-ignore to that element:

<tr data-dropdown="#dropdown-1">
  <td><a class="dropdown-ignore" href="http://example.com">I won't trigger the dropdown</a></td>
  <td>I will trigger the dropdown</td>
</tr>
