Topic: Close dropdown on scroll
Does anyone know why I can't hide a dropdown using this code?
window.addEventListener('scroll', function() {
// close any open dropdowns
$('.dropdown-menu.show').each(function() {
var dropdown = $(this).closest('.dropdown')[0];
mdb.Dropdown.getInstance(dropdown).hide();
//$(this).removeClass('show');
});
});
The console shows an error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'hide'). I wish I knew the jQuery way to hide a dropdown but can't see any docs showing how to control them via jQuery. Can anyone help? I can close the drop down's via getting rid of the show class but I would rather do it via the API so it fades out. Thanks!
You were trying to getInstance from the wrong element. I've prepared a snippet for you: https://mdbootstrap.com/snippets/standard/kpienkowska/5263359
Thanks so much! Here is an updated simplified snippet using your solution.
window.addEventListener('scroll', function() {
// close any open dropdowns
$('.dropdown-toggle.show').each(function() {
mdb.Dropdown.getInstance(this).hide();
});
});
