Usage

• Include required files:

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="jquery.dropdown.css" />`
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.dropdown.js"></script>`

• Create a dropdown and insert it before the closing body tag:

<div id="dropdown-1" class="dropdown-menu has-tip">
    <ul>
        <li><a href="#1">Item 1</a></li>
        <li><a href="#2">Item 2</a></li>
        <li><a href="#3">Item 3</a></li>
        <li class="divider"></li>
        <li><a href="#4">Item 4</a></li>
        <li><a href="#5">Item 5</a></li>
        <li><a href="#5">Item 6</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>

• Add the data-dropdown attribute to any HTML element:

<a href="#" data-dropdown="#dropdown-1">dropdown</a>

• There’s no need to initialize it! The plugin will handle everything from here.

detach – detach a dropdown from the selected trigger element(s)

enable – enables the dropdown and removes the dropdown-disabled class from the trigger
