 <!-- Include bootstrap-hover-dropdown.js -->
 <script src="path/to/bootstrap-hover-dropdown.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Find the element with the dropdown-toggle class in your HTML file and modify it as follows:

1

<a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">Dropdown</a>

Change it to:

1

<a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-hover="dropdown" data-close-others="true">Dropdown</a>

You can also add a parameter data-delay="1000", which sets the delay before the dropdown disappears (default is 500 milliseconds). For example:

1

<a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-hover="dropdown" data-close-others="true" data-delay="1000">Dropdown</a>

4. Removing the Delay

If you want to completely remove the delay, you can directly modify the configuration in the bootstrap-hover-dropdown.js file, changing delay: 500 to delay: 0.

Find and modify the following code:

1

delay: 500

Change it to:

1

delay: 0

This will remove the dropdown menu delay.
