Drop Down Sub Menu Not Working on Mobile

I have everything in place for my drop down sub-menu which works in testing on shrunken screen but will not work on my HTC One when I check it now we have gone live! I am guessing that the issue to hand is that once you have pressed the hamburger to expand the menu down it goes about half way down the screen with clickables and the last choice you get is the celebration drop down menu, click on this and the menu does drop down to the final choice being the 'Make Your Choice' as the very bottom item (which is the very bottom of my screen, now when you click on that (tap) instead of opening the further choices up it closes the choices down to top drop down menu i.e. celebration stationery option. I am guessing this is because the second drop down has no where to go as there is no screen left under the 'Make Your Choice'.

This is obviously not acceptable as it makes a large percentage of the site not available to mobile viewing. Does anybody have any suggestions for fixing this issue? There is still another page to go under Font Choices in the sub menu drop down.

In-case you want to check this out for yourself on your mobiles then please go to AD Design & Print. I would appreciate help with this as the site is now live with all pages passing WC3 validation.apart from Contact-us that has an 'error' in the embedding code supplied by Google for the map.

Correct answer osgood_

Try including the below script after the link to your Bootstrap js file at the foot of your page. That should stop the default toggle collapsing all open states.

<script>

$(document).ready(function(){

  $('.dropdown-submenu a').on("click", function(e){

    $(this).next('ul').toggle();

    e.stopPropagation();

    e.preventDefault();

  });

});

</script>

No, its not. It's because Bootstrap is toggling the 'open states' and closing all the open states.

I don't know how Bootstrap toggle works (and dont really want to) so you will have to wait for someone who does and can give you some advice, the submenu probably needs a bit of onclick javascript of its own to work correctly.
