title: jQuery .hide for dropdown menu
body: <p>I'm not a great programmer, so I'm hoping someone can help me with this issue.  I have the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>     jQuery('.wpdm-cat-link').click(function(){
       jQuery('#wpdm-downloads').prepend('&lt;div class="loading"&gt;Loading1...&lt;/div&gt;').load('&lt;?php echo home_url('/?wpdmtask=get_downloads&amp;category=');?&gt;'+this.rel);
       jQuery('.dropdown-menu').hide();
           return false;
       }); 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It fires a dropdown menu.  Once the menu option is selected, it closes the drop down menu and will not allow it to be opened in the same session.  I'm assuming that's what</p>
  
  <pre><code>    jquery('.dropdown-menu').hide();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>is doing.  Could another command be stacked on top of this to allow it to open again?  When an option is selected, it's using AJAX to load some content beneath the menu.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help.</p>
