Question

So I have an anchor which looks like

<a href="http://something.com/something/" class="dropdown-toggle">something</a>

and I want to add

data-toggle="dropdown"

so that it ends up looking like

<a href="http://something.com/something/" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">something</a>

I tried

$(".dropdown-toggle").data("toggle", "dropdown");

But it isnt adding anything
cheers

You can use attr() jquery method to add the attribute.

Live Demo

$(".dropdown-toggle").attr("data-toggle", "dropdown");
