Segmented Topbar Dropdown Items

[JakeWharton]

It might be beneficial to provide a means of creating a segmented navigation dropdown. That is, one in which the main target of the item would be a link but the arrow is a separate target which would then trigger the opening of the dropdown.

Something along the lines of Flickr's navigation with a bit less ugly sprinkled on.

Do you mean

<li class="devider"></li>

@adampatterson: I think he means the main text of the item having its link preserved, and only the down-arrow triggering the menu opening. Right now it looks like the href is kind of useless in the anchor that has class="dropdown-toggle". Since the two elements aren't very clearly separated (flickr's are separated), I'm not sure how useable that would end up.

Oh, so once you toggle the drop down the toggle its self would then become active as a link?

I noticed that setting an active state on the Toggle link was not possible, at least in version 1.1-1.2

Going to drop this as an issue—it's not something we want to support right now as it will add quite a lot of code just to make it work, let alone work alongside the existing behavior and styles.
