I have a MCQ Question website. In a exam there may be 100-200 questions from different subject. So I want to make the navigation easier. As the navigation is quite large so I want to open questions under open subject i.e.: when Subject 1 is active, only question link under Subject 1 is visible like Bootstrap website's right navigation. My working sample is given below.
I used Bootstrap scrollspy according to their site instruction and it worked fine. But when I try to make it collapsible (like Bootstrap website's right navigation) it does not work.
I'm using Bootstrap - 3.3.2
<body data-spy="scroll" data-target="#subjectNavbar" data-offset="0">
<header id="header" class="container-fluid navbar-fixed-top">
...
</header>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<aside id="left-column" class="col-sm-3">
<nav id="subjectNavbar" class="sub-nav">
<ul class="nav subject-ul">
<li>
<a href="#subject-1">Subject 1</a>
<ul class="list-inline question-ul">
<li id="question-no-1"><a href="#question-1">1</a></li>
<li id="question-no-2"><a href="#question-2">2</a></li>

...

After a deep research over bootstrap websites native css and javascript file i found that they use css to make the navigation collapsible. they make the ul under an active visible and other child ul display none.
.subject-ul .question-ul{
display:none;
}
.subject-ul li.active>.question-ul{
display:visible;
}
