Using plugin Jquery Dropdown: https://github.com/soundasleep/jquery-dropdown To create multiple menu styles, it is simple and easy to customize. I wanted to see if it would be possible to keep it always open, - after you have clicked to open.Not closing when clicked on the body, either with right/left click, but close only when clicked on his button again, which will be entitled Close.

$("#jq-dropdown-1").on("click",function(event){
    event.stopPropagation();
    $('#jq-dropdown-1').dropdown('show');
});

.fechar {
  display:none;
}
.jq-dropdown-open .abrir {
  display:none
}
.jq-dropdown-open .fechar {
  display:block
}

<a href="#" data-jq-dropdown="#jq-dropdown-1"><span class="abrir">Abrir Dropdown</span><span class="fechar">Fechar</span></a>
<div id="jq-dropdown-1" class="jq-dropdown jq-dropdown-tip">
    <ul class="jq-dropdown-menu">
        <li><a href="#">Science</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Eletronics</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Pellentesque convallis enim.</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Internet</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Business</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>

Face in the moral abandons this plugin, it is very bad, the documentation is rhythmic and I see no need in this plugin, because it returns a normal dropdown, same as HTML. I repeat, I see no need for it.

You don’t even need the .js plugin. You can just use his CSS and the script below, see:

$("[data-jq-dropdown], .jq-dropdown-menu").on("click", function(e){
   
   e.stopPropagation();

   if($(this).is("[data-jq-dropdown]")){
      var menuid = $(this).data("jq-dropdown");

      $("[data-jq-dropdown]")
      .not($(this))
      .removeClass("jq-dropdown-open");

      $(this)
      .toggleClass("jq-dropdown-open");

      $(".jq-dropdown")
      .not($(menuid))
      .hide();
   
      $(menuid)
      .toggle();
   }else{
      $(".jq-dropdown").hide();

      $("[data-jq-dropdown]")
      .removeClass("jq-dropdown-open");
   }
});

$(document).on("keyup mousedown", function(e){
   if(e.keyCode === 27) $('.jq-dropdown-open').trigger('click');
   if(e.type == "mousedown") $("[fechafora].jq-dropdown-open", this).trigger('click');
});

$("[fechafora], .jq-dropdown").on("mousedown", function(e){
   e.stopPropagation();
});

.fechar {
  display:none;
}
.jq-dropdown-open .abrir {
  display:none
}
.jq-dropdown-open .fechar {
  display:block
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<link href="https://labs.abeautifulsite.net/jquery-dropdown/jquery.dropdown.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<a href="#" data-jq-dropdown="#jq-dropdown-1">
   <span class="abrir">Abrir Dropdown1</span><span class="fechar">Fechar</span>
</a>
<div id="jq-dropdown-1" class="jq-dropdown jq-dropdown-tip">
    <ul class="jq-dropdown-menu">
        <li><a href="#">Science1</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Eletronics</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Pellentesque convallis enim.</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Internet</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Business</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>
<br>
<a href="#" data-jq-dropdown="#jq-dropdown-2" fechafora>
   <span class="abrir">Abrir Dropdown2</span><span class="fechar">Fechar</span>
</a>
<div id="jq-dropdown-2" class="jq-dropdown jq-dropdown-tip">
    <ul class="jq-dropdown-menu">
        <li><a href="#">Science2</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Eletronics</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Pellentesque convallis enim.</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Internet</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Business</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>

As always, brilliant. That’s exactly it. Just something I forgot to put in the question. It could also close when clicked on the links inside it, but only with the normal click.

I intend to use your code. I realized it’s better even than the plugin. Now I could also have control classes, for the button and the content. js-button-active and js-content-active

Simply Perfect. Thx.

on the dropdown I was using, I had managed to put the dropdown to close with the ESC key. I used this code: $(document).keyup(function(e) {
 if (e.keyCode === 27) $('.jq-dropdown').jqDropdown('hide');
});
 It would be possible to add it to your solution?

Awesome. I must say I’m impressed with this solution. I’m talking about the dropdown. Mainly because it’s working even on IE7. Really amazing. One thing I was trying to do in the old plugin, was to capture the name of the dropdown ID, and turn it into a class, and add it to the button, dropdown container and also body. thus: js-button-dropdown2 js-content-dropdown2 js-body-dropdown2 sack.

was really bad, now that I’m realizing it. Now, what if I want to keep the solution of the question, in just one of these dropdowns? For example. I will have three dropdowns on a page. But only one of them should look like this there. The others can be normal. Closing by clicking outside.

One last thing, and it’ll be round. Inside that menu close Try to avoid closing it with the active right-click inside it.

tested, is not passing. It keeps closing when trying to open a link in a new tab with the contextmenu.

I do not know why, I have a feeling that this solution of yours could solve this: https://answall.com/q/302785/95735

Following the guidance of Leandro, I did not use the plugin Jquery DropDown _{is very bad, the documentation is ridiculous}. I used the library bootstrap

$(document).ready(function() {

$('.dropdown.keep-open').on({
    "shown.bs.dropdown": function() { this.closable = false; },
    "click":             function() { this.closable = true; },
    "hide.bs.dropdown":  function() { return this.closable; }
});


});

.dropdown {
    display: inline-block;
}

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.js"></script>

<div class="dropdown keep-open">
    <!-- Dropdown Button -->
    
    <a href="#" data-toggle="dropdown" data-jq-dropdown="#jq-dropdown-1"><span class="abrir">Abrir Dropdown</span>

    
    <!-- Dropdown Menu -->
    <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu" 
        aria-labelledby="dLabel">
        <li><a href="#">Science</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Eletronics</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Pellentesque convallis enim.</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Internet</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Business</a></li>
    </ul>
