Twitter Bootstrap dropdown on ipad and android doesn't work even with the hack

Question

I have a problem when I access my software on ipad and android. This is the html that doesn't work on ipad. I can't click on the sub-itens

<div class="btn-group">
    <button class="btn dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">Export <span class="caret"></span></button>
    <ul class="dropdown-menu">
        <#if  print?exists>
            <li><a href="javascript:print('${print}');">Print in PDF</a></li>
        </#if>
        <#if  printList?exists>
            <li><a href="javascript:print('${printList}');">Print list in PDF</a></li>
        </#if>
        <li><a href="javascript:exportListAt('${targetList}', 2);">Export to Excel</a></li>
        <li><a href="javascript:exportListAt('${targetList}', 1);">Export to CVS</a></li>
        <li><a href="javascript:exportListAt('${targetList}', 3);">Export to XML</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>

I already hack this html with

jQuery(document).ready( function (){
            jQuery('.dropdown-toggle')
                .on('touchstart.dropdown', '.dropdown-menu', function (e) { e.stopPropagation(); })
                .on('touchstart.dropdown', '.dropdown-submenu', function (e) { e.preventDefault(); })
    })

This error also occur when I access the bootstrap site on ipad and android.

What can I do ?

Recently, Bootstrap 2.2.2 came out and your issue is one of many that has been fixed.

Therefore, a good solution would be to update your Bootstrap version to the latest available.

See the changelog, or download the latest bootstrap directly

I also wrote a short blog post about this issue.
