Twitter-Bootstrap: Two dropdown-toggle buttons side by side not working properly

You forgot your .dropdown wrapper.

Update 2 : forgot some code for groups. And made a gist (github)

Update : made a better wrapping, and styling like buttons. This is basically another button-type styling, but without the baggage of the .btn class.

<div class="btn-group">
    <div class="dropdown dropdown-btn">
        <div class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">
            <span id="uniqueId">Text1</span><span class="caret"/>
        </div >
        <ul class="dropdown-menu">
            <li><a onclick="javascript:someFunction()">Item1</a></li>
            <li><a onclick="javascript:someFunction()">Item2</a></li>
            <!-- ... -->
        </ul>
    </div>
    <div class="dropdown dropdown-btn">
        <div class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">
            <span id="uniqueId2">Text2</span><span class="caret"/>
        </div >
        <ul class="dropdown-menu">
            <li><a onclick="javascript:someOtherFunction()">Item1</a></li>
            <li><a onclick="javascript:someOtherFunction()">Item2</a></li>
            <!-- ... -->
        </ul>
    </div>
</div>

with a big css adjustement (buttons.less and button-groups.less reused changing .btn to .dropdown-btn from here (github)):

Or you could just add a CSS class to the btn-group divs and do this instead:

HTML:

    <div class="navbar navbar-fixed-top">
        <div class="navbar-inner">
            <div class="container">
                <div class="pull-left">
                    <div class="btn-group btn-group-merge">
                        <a class="btn" href="#" data-toggle="dropdown"><i class="icon icon-certificate"></i></a>
                        <ul class="dropdown-menu">
                             <li><a href="#">One</a></li>
                             <li><a href="#">Two</a></li>
                             <li><a href="#">Three</a></li>
                        </ul>                            
                    </div>
                    <div class="btn-group btn-group-merge">
                        <a class="btn" href="#" data-toggle="dropdown"><i class="icon icon-comment"></i></a>
                        <ul class="dropdown-menu">
                             <li><a href="#">A B C</a></li>
                             <li><a href="#">D E F</a></li>
                             <li><a href="#">G H I</a></li>
                        </ul>                            
                    </div>                        
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div> 

CSS:

    .navbar-fixed-top .btn-group-merge {
        margin-left : -5px;
    }
    .navbar-fixed-top .btn-group-merge:first-child {
        margin-left : 0;
    }
    .navbar-fixed-top .btn-group-merge .btn {
        border-radius: 0 4px 4px 0;
    }
    .navbar-fixed-top .btn-group-merge:first-child .btn {
        border-radius: 4px 0 0 4px;
    }

This will work with any number of buttons in the button group, but only the first and last will be rendered correctly. You could use some CSS-fu to fix it, but it wouldn't render on IE<10.
