Twitter Bootstrap 3 dropdown menu disappears when used with prototype.js

Question

I have an issue when using bootstrap 3 & prototype.js together on a magento website.

Basically if you click on the dropdown menu (Our Products) & then click on the background, the dropdown menu (Our Products) disappears (prototype.js adds "display: none;" to the li).

Here is a demo of the issue: http://ridge.mydevelopmentserver.com/contact.html

You can see that the dropdown menu works like it should without including prototype.js on the page at the link below: http://ridge.mydevelopmentserver.com/

Has anyone else ran into this issue before or have a possible solution for the conflict?

EASY FIX:

Just replace Magento's prototype.js file with this bootstrap friendly one:

https://raw.github.com/zikula/core/079df47e7c1f536a0d9eea2993ae19768e1f0554/src/javascript/ajax/original_uncompressed/prototype.js

You can see the changes made in the prototype.js file to fix the bootstrap issue here:

NOTE: JQuery must be include in your magento skin before prototype.js.. Example:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/prototype/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/lib/ccard.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/prototype/validation.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/scriptaculous/builder.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/scriptaculous/effects.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/scriptaculous/dragdrop.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/scriptaculous/controls.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/scriptaculous/slider.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/varien/js.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/varien/form.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/varien/menu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/mage/translate.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/mage/cookies.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/mage/captcha.js"></script>

I've also used code from here: http://kk-medienreich.at/techblog/magento-bootstrap-integration-mit-prototype-framework but without a need to modify any source. Just put code below somewhere after prototype and jquery includes:

(function() {
    var isBootstrapEvent = false;
    if (window.jQuery) {
        var all = jQuery('*');
        jQuery.each(['hide.bs.dropdown', 
            'hide.bs.collapse', 
            'hide.bs.modal', 
            'hide.bs.tooltip',
            'hide.bs.popover',
            'hide.bs.tab'], function(index, eventName) {
            all.on(eventName, function( event ) {
                isBootstrapEvent = true;
            });
        });
    }
    var originalHide = Element.hide;
    Element.addMethods({
        hide: function(element) {
            if(isBootstrapEvent) {
                isBootstrapEvent = false;
                return element;
            }
            return originalHide(element);
        }
    });
})();
