No way to disable dropdown?

[cdutson]

Maybe I'm missing something, but once dropdown has been enabled, there doesn't seem to be any way of destroying it.

Use case:

I'm retrofitting a website to be somewhat responsive. One of the requirements therein requires me to convert the navigation into something a bit more mobile-friendly. I've opted to create a collapsable menu, which I've got going, except that dropdown.js has been applied to the the navigation previously.

Since toggle is returning false (which I question whether that should be a e.preventDefault(), but that's a different discussion), There's no way for me to attach my own click event to the button. I could hook into the announced events from the plugin, but it would be a lot easier for me to simply disable the plugin when the mobile view is hit (I'm using enquire.js for this).

something like: $('#samplenav').dropdown('destroy') would be rather useful, especially since you can enable it at any time by simply applying $.dropdown() to an element.
