jQuery - Issue relating to sliding up (collapsing) drop down menus

I am having an issue with jQuery that I need some advice on. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Here is the scenario:

I have a dropdownbox that was created with jQuery Bootstrap code. It uses the slideToggle to slide the menu down. That is working fine when the dropdown is clicked. The issue I'm having is trying to get it to slide back up when an element is clicked within the menu.

Here is what I have so far to slide the menu back up.

JavaScript

$(document).on('click', '.dropdown-menu li a', function ()
{
    $(this).next('.dropdown-menu').slideUp(500);
}

It currently does nothing when a menu element is selected.

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks everyone!

Debug and see whether it is going inside the event or not.

I figured it out myself. It had to do with the ID of the element and the event I was checking for.
