How to make Bootstrap drop down menu slide down on button click

Question

im using Bootstrap and I'm trying to declare an event on the drop down menu when a button is clicked. For some odd reason the jquery event isnt triggering. The drop down menu should drop down right under the search query element. My JS Fiddle is http://jsfiddle.net/sean3200/fNrZ3/ ...Any help would be appreciated.. Thankszz!! Below is some of the code

     <div class="container">
  <div class="navbar">
    <div class="navbar-inner">
      <div class="container">
        <a class="btn btn-navbar" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".nav-collapse">
    <span class="icon-bar"></span>
    <span class="icon-bar"></span>
    <span class="icon-bar"></span>
  </a>
        <a class="brand" href="#">Forbes Clientel</a>
        <div class="nav-collapse collapse">
          <ul class="nav">
            <li>
              <a href="#" class="active">Home</a> 
            </li>
            <li>
              <a href="#">Contact</a> 
            </li>
          </ul>
        </div>
        <form class="navbar-search">
          <input class="search-query" placeholder="Search..." type="text">
          <div id="drop" class="dropdown">
            <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu" aria-labelledby="dLabel">
              <li>
                <a tabindex="-1" href="#">Action</a> 
              </li>
              <li>
                <a tabindex="-1" href="#">Another action</a> 
              </li>
              <li>
                <a tabindex="-1" href="#">Something else here</a> 
              </li>
              <li class="divider"></li>
              <li>
                <a tabindex="-1" href="#">Separated link</a>

    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="container">
    <div class="hero-unit">

      <input id="myBtn"

    </div>
  </div>
</div>


//script
             $(document).ready(function(){
                $("#myBtn").click(function(){
                  $("#drop").slidedown();
                })

             })

Answer 1

As Eliran Efron said, change JS line 3 to:

$("#drop").slideDown();

Change HTML line 25-26 to:

<div class="dropdown">
  <ul id="drop" class="dropdown-menu" role="menu" aria-labelledby="dLabel">

You were referencing the wrong element with your JS, thats all.

Here is your example modified and working: http://jsfiddle.net/fNrZ3/4/

Answer 2

First: the function is named .slideDown() the capital d there can make a hugh change... (working or not, don't forget it's a function you are calling).

from what i saw on the JS console in chrome, i get the error: Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'slidedown' so it is definitely got something to do with the name so change it to the one with the capital D.

from there i guess it's mostly some settings for the design... you can try looking here in the Demos and use some of it: .slideDown() jQuery API

Answer 3

$(document).ready(function($){
    $('.dropdown-menu').click(function(e) {
        e.stopPropagation();
    });
    $(".btn-group").click(function(){
        if($(this).hasClass('open')){
            $(".dropdown-menu").slideUp();
        }else{
            $(".dropdown-menu").slideDown();
        }
    });    
});

$(document).on('click.dropdown.data-api', function(){
        $(".dropdown-menu").slideUp();
});
