Hello fellow members of the StackOverFlow community,
I recently implemented a Bootstrap 5 dropdown button to fetch tabs from the backend using AJAX. Everything was functioning correctly until I encountered an issue where, upon clicking a button within one of these tabs, the dropdown remained visible along with the data retrieved through AJAX. Additionally, a new request was being made ensuring that the data persisted. However, when attempting to open the dropdown again, it failed to do so.
Below is the code snippet used:
<li class="dropdownListMenu dropdown">
<span aria-expanded="false" data-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true"
class="active color-white pointer" data-bs-toggle="tab"
onclick='<?php echo "get__data(" . $id . ")"; ?>'>
<i class="fa fa-folder tx-29"></i>
<?php echo $value['name']; ?>
<i class="fas fa-caret-down ms-1"></i>
</span>
<div class = "dropdown-menu tx-13" id = "get_data_dropdown_<?php echo $_id; ?>">
</div>
</li>
We utilized a JavaScript function to trigger backend communication via AJAX:
function get_data(id) {
$.post("ajax/get_data.php", {id: id,}, function (data) {
$("#results").html(data);
});
}
The data returned from the AJAX call consists of a list generated by a foreach loop with links:
<a class="dropdown-item" onclick="get_classification(
<?php echo $tbl_level_id; ?>,
<?php echo $tbl_org_id; ?>,
<?php echo $tbl_classin_id; ?>,
<i class="fa fa-info-circle"></i>
<?php echo $value['name']; ?>
</a>
Upon accessing a link within this data, it gets appended to an empty div as follows:
<div id="results"> </div>
Subsequently, any further interactions with the links/buttons within the data result in the dropdown and its contents persisting but failing to work properly.
I trust this explanation clarifies the issue at hand.
