Twitter Bootstrap Accordion and button dropdown overflow issue

Question

I\'m using Bootstrap for a section of my website. I mix accordion with a dropdown button. The problem comes when the button is on the bottom, the drop-down is hidden since the .

I don't know if you would find this an acceptable alternative solution, or how many items your dropdown would have, but you could use the "dropup" class, so as to make the dropdown menu drop UP instead of down.

UPDATE

Rather kludgy at this point, yet in a limited sense, it "works".

$(".special-drop, .special-drop .caret").click(function() {
    var $myCollapsable = $(this).closest(".collapse"),
        $myDropDown = $(this).closest(".dropdown"),
        $myDropDownMenu = $(this).next(".dropdown-menu");

    function toggleDropMenu() {
        if ($myDropDown.hasClass("open")) {
            $myDropDownMenu.hide();
        } else {
            $myDropDownMenu.show();
        }
    }

    if ($myCollapsable.css("overflow") === "hidden") {
        $myCollapsable.css("overflow", "visible");
        toggleDropMenu();
    } else {
        $myCollapsable.css("overflow", "hidden");
        $myDropDownMenu.hide();
        toggleDropMenu();
    }

});

$(document).click(function() {
   $(".collapse").css("overflow", "hidden");
   $(".dropdown-menu").hide();
});​
