How to fire an event when a drop down menu is closed using jQuery?

Question

I want to reload the page when a user closes a dropdown menu that is controlled by "bootstrap-multiselect" UI.

Here is what I have tried so far

    $('#ts_client_id').multiselect({
        enableFiltering: true,
        enableCaseInsensitiveFiltering: true,
        selectedClass: null,
        nonSelectedText: 'All Clients',
        includeSelectAllOption: true,
        buttonWidth: '100%',
        maxHeight: 250
    }).on('blur', function () {
        console.log($('#ts_client_id').val());
        window.location.reload();
    });

also

$('#ts_client_id').multiselect({
    enableFiltering: true,
    enableCaseInsensitiveFiltering: true,
    selectedClass: null,
    nonSelectedText: 'All Clients',
    includeSelectAllOption: true,
    buttonWidth: '100%',
    maxHeight: 250
}).on('hide.bs.dropdown', function () {
    console.log($('#ts_client_id').val());
    window.location.reload();
});

I have also tried this and it is not working

    $('#ts_client_id').multiselect({
        onDropdownHidden: function(event){
            console.log('hi');
            window.location.reload();
        },
        enableFiltering: true,
        enableCaseInsensitiveFiltering: true,
        selectedClass: null,
        nonSelectedText: 'All Clients',
        includeSelectAllOption: true,
        buttonWidth: '100%',
        maxHeight: 250
    });

here is my HTML code

<select name="ts_client_id[]" id="ts_client_id"  multiple="multiple"  class="form-control width-sm-size row-left-xxsm-margin" >
<option value="2"  selected="selected" >Option 1</option>
<option value="1"  selected="selected" >Option 2</option>
<option value="7"  selected="selected" >Option 3</option>
</select>

But for some reason nothing is printed to the console neither the page is reloading.

what can I do to detect when the menu is closed so I can reload the page.

Answer 1

It's clearly in the documentation:

The onDropdownHide option is not available when using Twitter Bootstrap 2.3.

With their example:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $('#example-onDropdownHide').multiselect({
            onDropdownHide: function(event) {
                alert('Dropdown closed.');
            }
        });
    });
</script>

Answer 2

You want to set the onDropdownHidden option. It's documented on the configuration options page:

Edited: Passing a function as the parameter for onDropdownHidden seems to work fine for me.

You can try changing

window.location.reload();

to

location.href = location.href; 

and it should work, though no post data will be sent with it. To see the difference between the two and decide which is best, read the answers here: Difference between window.location.href=window.location.href and window.location.reload()
