1.Hide dropdown-menu on mouseover.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.nav li.dropdown').hover(function() {
$(this).addClass('open');
}, function() {
$(this).removeClass('open');
});
});
2.Hide dropdown-menu on click.

heres a function I'm using to get the navbar dropdowns to slide down on hover instead of just popping in
$('.navbar .dropdown').hover(function() {
$(this).find('.dropdown-menu').first().stop(true, true).delay(250).slideDown();
}, function() {
$(this).find('.dropdown-menu').first().stop(true, true).delay(100).slideUp()
});

While How to make twitter bootstrap menu dropdown on hover rather than click has been upvoted a lot, with the newer versions of Bootstrap, no need to hack at it.
http://cameronspear.com/blog/twitter-bootstrap-dropdown-on-hover-plugin/ is a replacement for the existing dropdown.js, and lets you enable on hover. No CSS modifications required.

Answer 4

You can simply do this by using only css. In case of button dropdown.
<div class="btn-group btn-hover-group">
Action 1
<ul class="dropdown-menu pull-right">
<li>Action 2</li>
<li>Action 3</li>
</ul>
</div>
Removed data-toggle="dropdown" from
.btn-hover-group > a:hover ~ ul{
display:block;
}
.btn-hover-group > .dropdown-menu:hover{
display:block;
}
I hope this will suffice your purpose.

<div class="dropdown">
<button class="dropbtn">Dropdown</button>
<div class="dropdown-content">
Link 1
Link 2
Link 3
</div>
</div>
then define the class property value following..it should work
.dropbtn {
background-color: #4CAF50;
color: white;
padding: 16px;
font-size: 16px;
border: none;
}
.dropdown {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
.dropdown-content {
display: none;
position: absolute;
background-color: #f1f1f1;
min-width: 160px;
box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
z-index: 1;
}
.dropdown-content a {
color: black;
padding: 12px 16px;
