Bootstrap 3 dropdowns not working via javascript click action

Question

I have a large dropdown help menu that I'd like to open normally from the menu AND also open from a link outside of the dropdown menu structure.

JS Fiddle of broken scenario: http://jsfiddle.net/tmfzog1j/1/

When I run $('.dropdown-toggle').dropdown("toggle"); from the browser console, it works fine, which makes me think it's some kind of event.propagation problem.

works

you have to stop propagation on that puppy, so you were totally right.

$( document ).ready(function() {
  $('.remote').click(function(e){
      e.stopPropagation();
    $(".dropdown-toggle").dropdown('toggle');
  });
});
