Intro: One of the parts of my website requires a small toolbar featuring two dropdown menus side-by side. I tried to achieve this by the following markup (simplified):
<div class="btn-group">
<button class="btn btn-mini dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">
<span id="uniqueId">Text1</span> <span class="caret"></span>
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li><a onclick="javascript:someFunction()">Item1</a></li>
<li><a onclick="javascript:someFunction()">Item2</a></li>
...
</ul>
<button class="btn btn-mini dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">
<span id="uniqueId2">Text2</span> <span class="caret"></span>
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li><a onclick="javascript:someOtherFunction()">Item1</a></li>
<li><a onclick="javascript:someOtherFunction()">Item2</a></li>
...
</ul>
</div>
I'd like to get a nice-looking two-buttons toolbar with rounded corners only on outer sides of the toolbar.
Problem:
When I click on either button, both buttons are displayed as "pressed" and I can not visually distinguish which one I have just clicked. All the other functionality is working OK - i.e. a menu is shown correctly and with correct options.
Is there any way to make those buttons changing their styles separately?
Update:
I do know that it's very well possible to get this working by splitting my buttons into two btn-group
s or (as @Sherbrow suggested) by using divs. Bootstrap documentation also suggests
Buttons with dropdowns must be individually wrapped in their own .btn-group within a .btn-toolbar for proper rendering.
and I'd like to know - is it possible to somehow avoid this individual wrapping and have two properly behaving dropdowns inside a single btn-group?
I think that I'm asking about quite non-standard and undocumented behavior and I'll accept an answer "that's impossible" if no-one can suggest a way to do that.
You forgot your .dropdown
wrapper.
Update 2 : forgot some code for groups. And made a gist (github)
Update : made a better wrapping, and styling like buttons. This is basically another button-type styling, but without the baggage of the .btn
class.
<div class="btn-group">
<div class="dropdown dropdown-btn">
<div class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">
<span id="uniqueId">Text1</span><span class="caret"/>
</div >
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li><a onclick="javascript:someFunction()">Item1</a></li>
<li><a onclick="javascript:someFunction()">Item2</a></li>
<!-- ... -->
</ul>
</div>
<div class="dropdown dropdown-btn">
<div class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">
<span id="uniqueId2">Text2</span><span class="caret"/>
</div >
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li><a onclick="javascript:someOtherFunction()">Item1</a></li>
<li><a onclick="javascript:someOtherFunction()">Item2</a></li>
<!-- ... -->
</ul>
</div>
</div>
with a big css adjustement (buttons.less and button-groups.less reused changing .btn
to .dropdown-btn
from here (github)):

Or you could just add a CSS class to the btn-group divs and do this instead:

HTML:
<div class="navbar navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="navbar-inner">
<div class="container">
<div class="pull-left">
<div class="btn-group btn-group-merge">
<a class="btn" href="#" data-toggle="dropdown"><i class="icon icon-certificate"></i></a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li><a href="#">One</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Two</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Three</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="btn-group btn-group-merge">
<a class="btn" href="#" data-toggle="dropdown"><i class="icon icon-comment"></i></a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li><a href="#">A B C</a></li>
<li><a href="#">D E F</a></li>
<li><a href="#">G H I</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.navbar-fixed-top .btn-group-merge {
margin-left : -5px;
}
.navbar-fixed-top .btn-group-merge:first-child {
margin-left : 0;
}
.navbar-fixed-top .btn-group-merge .btn {
border-radius: 0 4px 4px 0;
}
.navbar-fixed-top .btn-group-merge:first-child .btn {
border-radius: 4px 0 0 4px;
}
This will work with any number of buttons in the button group, but only the first and last will be rendered correctly. You could use some CSS-fu to fix it, but it wouldn't render on IE<10.
