Bootstrap dropdown menu: make parent link active link?

[emb03]

I am trying to make the parent link on a dropdown menu item an active link, but have no idea how to integrate this into the theme. Any suggestions?

That's not a bug, it's a feature!

Bootstrap decided it was better to have it behave like this for mobile/touch device users. Rollovers do not exist in mobile/touch devices so this was the solution. and since the majority of the web is going mobile, they were just future proofing. Duplicate the parent item underneath the drop-down with default bootstrap settings, or remove the functionality with the suggested answers but I don't recommend it. – DMAC Jul 16 '15 at 19:36

I took his advice, and added an extra (redundant) child link.
