Problems with Buttongroup in Navbar about smartmenus HOT 4 CLOSED

Note that the SmartMenus Bootstrap add-on supports only navbars (which are normally used for main site navigation). Regular button dropdowns are not supported (i.e. you can't make them multi-level by using the SmartMenus Bootstrap add-on) but they also shouldn't be affected at all and should work normally.

So I am not sure what exactly you are doing to trigger that error message. If you like, please post a live demo which I could test.

Ok here it is: http://jsfiddle.net/j994dpLf/

There should be a button dropdown in the navbar (http://getbootstrap.com/components/#btn-dropdowns). The smarmenu plugin throw this error when it wants to initialize the button dropdown: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'parentNode' of null
on Line 641.

In my opinion it let the dropdown untouched but does not crash the whole menu.

OK, I see what you mean.

BTW, please note that even Bootstrap would not allow you to include a button dropdown inside a navbar dropdown - actually, you can put it in there but when you try to activate the button dropdown, your nav dropdown that contains the button will get hidden.

But, anyway, you can achieve this by adding the data-in-mega_smartmenus="true" attribute to the UL element of the button dropdown. This is a sort of hack that informs the SmartMenus script to neglect that UL element and not consider it a normal nav dropdown (the script produces the error message you mention, since the UL is not nested properly in the parent nav LI tag like the regular dropdowns). Here's your updated demo: http://jsfiddle.net/4wr64kh2/

Oh, thats my bad... i used button groups in navbars on many webpages without problems. So i thought its okey that way...

Thanks for your help!
