columns inside bootstrap dropdown menu - html

Question

I'm attempting to turn the standard drop-down navbar menu from get bootstrap into a mega-menu. The menus will have different column amounts(5,5,4,4,3). Each column is a menu list. I tried just two ul lists with col-md-3, but its not working correctly, its making two distinct menus.

Here is the dropdown code and the menus Id like to be in the mega menu
<li class="active">Link <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></li>
<li class="dropdown">
Dropdown <span class="caret"></span>
<ul class="col-md-3 dropdown-menu">
<li>Action</li>
<li>Another action</li>
<li>Something else here</li>
<li role="separator" class="divider"></li>
<li>Separated link</li>
</ul>
<ul class="col-md-3 dropdown-menu">
<li>Action</li>
<li>Another action</li>
<li>Something else here</li>
<li role="separator" class="divider"></li>
<li>Separated link</li>
</ul>
<ul class="col-md-3 dropdown-menu">
<li>Action</li>
<li>Another action</li>
<li>Something else here</li>
<li role="separator" class="divider"></li>
<li>Separated link</li>
</ul>
</li>

Answer 1

From you code in
codepen:codepen: http://codepen.io/iamgonge/pen/aJBaNg
you have added another 'li' tag which displays another dropdown
<li class="dropdown">
Dropdown <span class="caret"></span>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>Action</li>
<li>Another action</li>
<li>Something else here</li>
<li role="separator" class="divider"></li>
<li>Separated link</li>
<li role="separator" class="divider"></li>
<li>One more separated link</li>
</ul>
</li>
