I'm not the creator of the code in web2py_bootstrap.js that manages the dropdown behavior, I only added the code to adjust it on resize event.
Originally the bootstrap dropdown hasn't a hover event (in this article the reasons explained http://markdotto.com/2012/02/27/bootstrap-explained-dropdowns/) The code in web2py makes possible to show/hide - with a fade effect - the dropdown main container, while the menu and submenus items navigation is provided by bootstrap itself. That said, I don't think that the odd behavior noticed by you is due to js code. I didn't have any notice of that (actually topbar has class nav-inverse) in IE9, IE8, FF last versions, OP last versions and CH last versions on windows7. Only in IE7 web2py dropdown has some showing issue but I have already submitted a patch. Could you delete following rule in web2py_bootstrap.css (in "other rules" section row 178) and see if your issue disappears? .navbar-inner{ position:relative; /*unnecessary ??*/ } Anyway if you are interested, there is a small snippet in order to use hoverintent with bootstrap dropdown here<http://stackoverflow.com/a/12960711> Il giorno martedì 4 dicembre 2012 19:49:24 UTC+1, Richard ha scritto: > > This could be interesting add on : > > http://cherne.net/brian/resources/jquery.hoverIntent.html > > Richard > > On Tue, Dec 4, 2012 at 1:43 PM, Richard Vézina > <ml.richa...@gmail.com<javascript:> > > wrote: > >> I found that just replacing delay() and fade*() by show() and hide() >> solve most problem. >> >> Here the code : >> // this code improves bootstrap menus and adds dropdown support >> jQuery(function(){ >> jQuery('.nav>li>a').each(function(){ >> if(jQuery(this).parent().find('ul').length) >> >> jQuery(this).attr({'class':'dropdown-toggle','data-toggle':'dropdown'}).append('<b >> >> class="caret"></b>'); >> }); >> jQuery('.nav li li').each(function(){ >> if(jQuery(this).find('ul').length) >> jQuery(this).addClass('dropdown-submenu'); >> }); >> function hoverMenu(){ >> var wid = document.documentElement.clientWidth; //faster than >> $(window).width() and cross browser >> if (wid>=980){ >> jQuery('ul.nav a.dropdown-toggle').parent().hover(function(){ >> mi = jQuery(this).addClass('open'); >> mi.children('.dropdown-menu').stop(true, true).show(); >> }, function(){ >> mi = jQuery(this); >> mi.children('.dropdown-menu').stop(true, true).hide(0, >> function(){mi.removeClass('open')}); >> }); >> }; >> } >> hoverMenu(); // first page load >> jQuery(window).resize(hoverMenu); // on resize event >> jQuery('ul.nav li.dropdown >> a').click(function(){window.location=jQuery(this).attr('href');}); >> // make all buttons bootstrap buttons >> jQuery('button, form input[type="submit"], form >> input[type="button"]').addClass('btn'); >> }); >> >> Richard >> >> >> On Tue, Dec 4, 2012 at 1:03 PM, Richard Vézina >> <ml.richa...@gmail.com<javascript:> >> > wrote: >> >>> Hello, >>> >>> I just check the trunk and don't see any improvement at the dropmenu >>> script level. >>> >>> I appreciate the little script to allow the bootstrap menu to works as >>> superfish use to work, but actually they are pretty not usable in >>> production. >>> >>> I explained, it may be possible that the problem I face have be not >>> notice by someone who not use the welcome layout or use it with the default >>> bootstrap top nav bar color (black).
