#Bootstrap without jQuery

A lightweight script to replace jQuery for simple interactions when using Twitter Bootstrap.

Bootstrap requires jQuery for some components such as dropdowns, alerts and the little "hamburger" icon that triggers a collapsible menu. While jQuery is an excellent cross-browser framework, it can be overkill if it's only used for displaying and hiding things. Of course, if a project already uses jQuery then there's no problem, but if not here's a script to replace jQuery and some of the Bootstrap plugin scripts. Using this should reduce download size and speed up loading time for your users.

• Collapsible elements (e.g. "hamburger" menu icon)
• Dismissable alert boxes
• Dropdown menus

You can see the script in action in these simple demos:

• Bootstrap 3 demo
• Bootstrap 2 demo

• Twitter Bootstrap
• JavaScript turned on - no other libraries required.

Bootstrap 2 version so far tested in the following browsers. (Bootstrap 3 testing is on the todo list)

• Android 2.3
• Android 4.1
• Chrome 26
• Firefox 20
• Firefox Mobile 20
• Internet Explorer 8, 9 & 10
• iOS 3
• Kindle 3
• Opera 12.15
• Opera Mini 7.5
• Opera Mobile 12.10

• Nintendo DS/DSi
• Nintendo Wii

• Alert close is intermittent in Android 2.3
• In Chrome, onblur doesn't fire when attached to button elements. This affects the dropdown menus so please use a elements instead for these.

I'd really appreciate a quick comment on whether it works in your browser or not.
