最标准的回答:

支持aria-expanded属性 支持非触摸设备 支持触摸设备 支持所有下拉菜单

var isTouchDevice = (('ontouchstart' in window) ||
                                (navigator.MaxTouchPoints > 0) ||
                                (navigator.msMaxTouchPoints > 0));
if(!isTouchDevice){
    // open dropdowns on hover on non mobile devices
    $(".dropdown").hover(function(e) {
        $('.dropdown-toggle', this).dropdown("toggle");
        e.stopPropagation();
    });
    // prevent blinkling
    $(".submenu-link").click(function(e) {
        e.stopPropagation();
    });
}

如果你需要，你可以将$(".dropdown")更改为特定的区域:

$("#top-menu .dropdown")

我已经使用了一点jQuery:

// Add hover effect to menus
jQuery('ul.nav li.dropdown').hover(function() {
  jQuery(this).find('.dropdown-menu').stop(true, true).delay(200).fadeIn();
}, function() {
  jQuery(this).find('.dropdown-menu').stop(true, true).delay(200).fadeOut();
});

以下是我的技巧，它在你停止在菜单或切换按钮上悬停后，在菜单关闭之前添加了轻微的延迟。你通常点击来显示导航菜单的<按钮>是#nav_dropdown。

$(function() {
  var delay_close_it, nav_menu_timeout, open_it;
  nav_menu_timeout = void 0;
  open_it = function() {
    if (nav_menu_timeout) {
      clearTimeout(nav_menu_timeout);
      nav_menu_timeout = null;
    }
    return $('.navbar .dropdown').addClass('open');
  };
  delay_close_it = function() {
    var close_it;
    close_it = function() {
      return $('.navbar .dropdown').removeClass('open');
    };
    return nav_menu_timeout = setTimeout(close_it, 500);
  };
  $('body').on('mouseover', '#nav_dropdown, #nav_dropdown *', open_it).on('mouseout', '#nav_dropdown', delay_close_it);
  return $('body').on('mouseover', '.navbar .dropdown .dropdown-menu', open_it).on('mouseout', '.navbar .dropdown .dropdown-menu', delay_close_it);
});

如果你有这样一个下拉类的元素(例如):

<ul class="list-unstyled list-inline">
    <li class="dropdown">
        <a data-toggle="dropdown" href="#"><i class="fa fa-bars"></i> Dropdown 1</a>
        <ul class="dropdown-menu">
            <li><a href="">Item 1</a></li>
            <li><a href="">Item 2</a></li>
            <li><a href="">Item 3</a></li>
            <li><a href="">Item 4</a></li>
            <li><a href="">Item 5</a></li>
        </ul>
    </li>
    <li class="dropdown">
        <a data-toggle="dropdown" href="#"><i class="fa fa-user"></i> Dropdown 2</a>
        <ul class="dropdown-menu">
            <li><a href="">Item A</a></li>
            <li><a href="">Item B</a></li>
            <li><a href="">Item C</a></li>
            <li><a href="">Item D</a></li>
            <li><a href="">Item E</a></li>
        </ul>
    </li>
</ul>

然后你可以让下拉菜单自动下拉悬停，而不是必须点击它的标题，通过使用这段jQuery代码:

<script>
    $('.dropdown').hover(
        function() {
            $(this).find('.dropdown-menu').stop(true, true).delay(200).fadeIn();
        },
        function() {
            $(this).find('.dropdown-menu').stop(true, true).delay(200).fadeOut();
        }
    );

    $('.dropdown-menu').hover(
        function() {
            $(this).stop(true, true);
        },
        function() {
            $(this).stop(true, true).delay(200).fadeOut();
        }
    );
</script>

这是一个演示

这个答案依赖于@Michael的答案，我做了一些改变，并添加了一些补充，以使下拉菜单正常工作

我基于最新的(v2.0.2) Bootstrap框架创建了一个纯悬停下拉菜单，它支持多个子菜单，我认为我应该发布给未来的用户:

body { padding-top: 60px; padding-bottom: 40px; } .sidebar-nav { padding: 9px 0; } .dropdown-menu .sub-menu { left: 100%; position: absolute; top: 0; visibility: hidden; margin-top: -1px; } .dropdown-menu li:hover .sub-menu { visibility: visible; } .dropdown:hover .dropdown-menu { display: block; } .nav-tabs .dropdown-menu, .nav-pills .dropdown-menu, .navbar .dropdown-menu { margin-top: 0; } .navbar .sub-menu:before { border-bottom: 7px solid transparent; border-left: none; border-right: 7px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); border-top: 7px solid transparent; left: -7px; top: 10px; } .navbar .sub-menu:after { border-top: 6px solid transparent; border-left: none; border-right: 6px solid #fff; border-bottom: 6px solid transparent; left: 10px; top: 11px; left: -6px; } <link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/2.3.2/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" /> <div class="navbar navbar-fixed-top"> <div class="navbar-inner"> <div class="container-fluid"> <a data-target=".nav-collapse" data-toggle="collapse" class="btn btn-navbar"> <span class="icon-bar"></span> <span class="icon-bar"></span> <span class="icon-bar"></span> </a> <a href="#" class="brand">Project name</a> <div class="nav-collapse"> <ul class="nav"> <li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> <li class="dropdown"> <a data-toggle="dropdown" class="dropdown-toggle" href="#">Dropdown <b class="caret"></b></a> <ul class="dropdown-menu"> <li> <a href="#">2-level Dropdown <i class="icon-arrow-right"></i></a> <ul class="dropdown-menu sub-menu"> <li><a href="#">Action</a></li> <li><a href="#">Another action</a></li> <li><a href="#">Something else here</a></li> <li class="divider"></li> <li class="nav-header">Nav header</li> <li><a href="#">Separated link</a></li> <li><a href="#">One more separated link</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Another action</a></li> <li><a href="#">Something else here</a></li> <li class="divider"></li> <li class="nav-header">Nav header</li> <li><a href="#">Separated link</a></li> <li><a href="#">One more separated link</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <form action="" class="navbar-search pull-left"> <input type="text" placeholder="Search" class="search-query span2"> </form> <ul class="nav pull-right"> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> <li class="divider-vertical"></li> <li class="dropdown"> <a class="#" href="#">Menu</a> </li> </ul> </div> <!-- /.nav-collapse --> </div> </div> </div> <hr> <ul class="nav nav-pills"> <li class="active"><a href="#">Regular link</a></li> <li class="dropdown"> <a href="#" data-toggle="dropdown" class="dropdown-toggle">Dropdown <b class="caret"></b></a> <ul class="dropdown-menu" id="menu1"> <li> <a href="#">2-level Menu <i class="icon-arrow-right"></i></a> <ul class="dropdown-menu sub-menu"> <li><a href="#">Action</a></li> <li><a href="#">Another action</a></li> <li><a href="#">Something else here</a></li> <li class="divider"></li> <li class="nav-header">Nav header</li> <li><a href="#">Separated link</a></li> <li><a href="#">One more separated link</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Another action</a></li> <li><a href="#">Something else here</a></li> <li class="divider"></li> <li><a href="#">Separated link</a></li> </ul> </li> <li class="dropdown"> <a href="#">Menu</a> </li> <li class="dropdown"> <a href="#">Menu</a> </li> </ul>

Demo

只是想补充一下，如果你有多个下拉列表(就像我一样)，你应该这样写:

ul.nav li.dropdown:hover > ul.dropdown-menu {
    display: block;    
}

它会正常工作的。
