Dropdown tabs stay on active - twitter-bootstrap-3

Question

If you press on menu item than go to another one it's not possible to go back to the one you came from, because all stay on active.
How can I fix this?

Answer 1

Both are possible using bootstrap's built in events. Put the following in your html just before the close body tag. This effectively removes all active classes from li's when the menu is shown.
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".dropdown").on("show.bs.dropdown", function(){
$(".dropdown-menu li").removeClass("active");
});
});
</script>
