Bootstrap 3: how to make head of dropdown link clickable in navbar

Question

Here this the code which slides down the sub menu on hover, and let you redirect to a page if you click on it.

How: strip out class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" from a tag, and add css.

Here is the demo at jsfiddle. For demo, please adjust jsfiddle’s splitter to see the dropdown due to Bootstrap CSS. jsfiddle won’t let you redirect to a new page.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.2/css/bootstrap.min.css">
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.2/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
    <style type="text/css">
        ul.nav li.dropdown:hover ul.dropdown-menu {
            display: block;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <nav class="navbar navbar-fixed-top admin-menu" role="navigation">
        <div class="navbar-header">...</div>
        <!-- Collect the nav links, forms, and other content for toggling -->
        <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
            <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
                <li class="dropdown"><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/">Stack Overflow <b class="caret"></b></a>

                    <ul class="dropdown-menu">
                        <li><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/page2">Page2</a>
                        </li>
                    </ul>
                </li>
                <li><a href="#">I DO WORK</a>
                </li>
            </ul>
        </div>
        <!-- /.navbar-collapse -->
    </nav>
</body>
