I'm having a problem where my list for my dropdown menu appears in another location then expected to be at.
This is part of my code. I've tried multiple references, like YouTube, w3school, and etc.
(HTML / JS)
.dropdownButton {
color: #fe4b4b;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: 'Titillium Web', sans-serif;
font-size: 165%;
background-color: transparent;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
border: none;
cursor: pointer;
overflow: hidden;
outline: none;
}
.dropdown {
align-items: center;
}
.list {
position: absolute;
align-items: center;
text-align: center;
transform: scaleY(0);
transform-origin: top;
transition: 0.3s;
height: auto;
width: 150px;
border-radius: 5px;
background-color: #3a4172;
cursor: pointer;
overflow: hidden;
box-shadow: 2px 0px 10px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7);
list-style: none;
}
.newlist {
transform: scaleY(1);
}
.links {
color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: 'Titillium Web', sans-serif;
font-size: 130%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-color: transparent;
border: none;
border-radius: 5px;
width: 100%;
}
.links:hover {
color: #fefb4b;
border-left: 5px solid #fefb4b;
cursor: pointer;
transform: scale(1.025);
}
<header>
<ul>
<li id="regular">EARN</li>
<li id="regular">PROMOCODES</li>
<li id="regular">WITHDRAW</li>
<li class="dropdown">
<button class="dropdownButton" href="#">MORE ▼</button>
<ul class="list">
<button class="links">REFFERALS</button>
<button class="links">DAILY</button>
</ul>
</li>
<li id="login">SIGN UP</li>
</ul>
<script>
//Dropdown
let click = document.querySelector('.dropdownButton');
let list = document.querySelector('.list');
click.addEventListener("click", () => {
list.classList.toggle('newlist');
});
//Dropdown End
</script>
</header>
I don't know how to fix it cause I'm a beginner, any help on fixing it / guidance would be nice! Thanks.
We're going to need more CSS and possibly HTML to see exactly why your code is behaving unexpectedly.
Definitely mimicking the first comment on here though: IDs should be unique to each element. If you want those li elements to have the same styling, use a class:
<li class="regular">
This will apply the same styling to different elements.
However, when an element appears in the top left like that, in my experience, I am using the CSS 'display', 'float', or 'position' properties incorrectly. If you haven't already, look into how the float and display properties function (as well as relative vs absolute positioning).
Check out this codepen.io, where I have it working by adding:
li {
float: left;
}
This allows your list items to exist on the same line properly. My guess is that you are using
li {
display: inline; /* incorrect usage */
}
to get them on the same horizontal axis. This is fine for regular text elements, but will cause "unexpected" behavior with positioning of child elements. For a more detailed explanation, please see this StackOverflow post:
What is the purpose of float:left on an unordered list when creating a horizontal navigation bar?.
Tip for next time: if your local looks very different than what you get if you paste into codepen.io, people will be less inclined to help you.
If this properly answered your question please upvote and mark best answer :)

I have a button with a className 'actions'
This button shows the
css styling from '.actions' but not '.actions button' . I expect both to be included.
This syntax here works for every element except the button.
The full code is at: https://github.com/keithmacinnis/for-play-activity-browser
Activity.module.css
.item {
margin: 1rem 0;
}
.image {
width: 100%;
height: 20rem;
overflow: hidden;
border-top-right-radius: 6px;
border-top-left-radius: 6px;
}
.image img {
width: 100%;
object-fit: cover;
}
.content {
text-align: center;
padding: 1rem;
}
.content h3 {
font-size: 1.25rem;
color: #2c292b;
}
.actions {
padding: 1.5rem;
text-align: center;
}
.actions button {
font: inherit;
cursor: pointer;
color: #77002e;
border: 1px solid #77002e;
background-color: transparent;
padding: 0.5rem 1.5rem;
border-radius: 4px;
}
.actions button:hover,
.actions button:active {
background-color: #ffe2ed;
}
Activity.js
import css from "./Activity.module.css";
import Card from "./Card";
function Activity(props) {
return (
<li className={css.item}>
<Card>
<div className={css.image}>
<img src={props.activity.image} alt={props.activity.title} />
</div>
<div className={css.content}>
<h3>{props.activity.title}</h3>
<address>{props.activity.address}</address>
<p>{props.activity.description}</p>
</div>
<div>
<button className={css.actions}>Join Activity</button>
</div>
</Card>
</li>
);
}
export default Activity;
Again, I'm unsure why my button receives the stylings for padding and text-align, but the eight properties that follow are ignored.
I do not have much experience with creating selector combinations that include an element type and className, but I just did a little experimenting on my own, and it appears that these may be considered sibling selectors (as opposed to one being the child of the other). Also, it seems like the element type may have to come before the className.
It looks like if you write the selectors like one of these two ways, it should work:
button ~ .actions {
*styles*
}
button + .actions {
*styles*
}
You can read more about combinators here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Selectors
To use .class selector for a specific element. You need Start with the element name first, then write the period (.) character, followed by the name of the class... like this
Button.actions {
font: inherit;
cursor: pointer;
color: #77002e;
border: 1px solid #77002e;
background-color: transparent;
padding: 0.5rem 1.5rem;
border-radius: 4px;
}
If that doesn't work. It might be a problem with the browser using your previous css version from the cash and not the updated styling. To solve it use this:
Ctrl + F5 On Mac OS (in Chrome) use: Cmd + Shift + R .
This will force your browser to reload and refresh all the resources related to the website's page.
It was fixed by this change in Activity.js :
new code:
<div className={css.actions}>
<button >Join Activity</button>
</div>
old code:
<div>
<button className={css.actions}>Join Activity</button>
</div>
All of my elements hide and show correctly using slidetoggle(), EXCEPT for my li:before. I've tried forcing the overflow, visibility, display, etc on the :before and the li, and nothing is helping, it still shows the bullets set using the :before class. What needs to happen to hide these bullets when slidetoggle() is activated/deactivated?
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$("#read-more").click(function(){
$(".careers-position").slideToggle(800);
return false;
});
});
ul {
line-height: 2.4em !important;
margin-left: 20px;
padding: 0 0 23px 1em;
}
li {
list-style: none !important;
color: #656565;
}
li:before {
content: "";
background: #9e9e9e;
width: 6px;
height: 6px;
display: block;
position: absolute;
left: 18px;
margin-top: 16px;
border-radius: 20px;
overflow: hidden;
backface-visibility: hidden;
}
.careers-position {
display: none;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="careers-position">
<h3>Pilot</h3>

Demo
Here look at this fiddle https://jsfiddle.net/wfccp58p/4/
ul { line-height: 2.4em; margin-left: 20px;padding: 0 0 23px 1em;list-style-type: none;}
I removed the li:before and added the list-style-type to the ui. Not sure if you still wanted some of the LI:Before pseudo stuff, but this fixes your issue.
I have a navigation bar at the top of my site, a simple HTML un-ordered list:
<div class="navitemcontainer">
<ul class="navlistul">
<li>Contact</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li>Home</li>
</ul>
</div>
Behind this I have some basic CSS formatting:
.navitemcontainer
{
padding-top: 40px;
padding-right: 10px;
}
.navlistul
{
list-style-type: none;
}
.navitemcontainer li
{
float: right;
opacity: 0.5;
}
.navitemcontainer li~li
{
border-right: 3px ridge #FFF;
}
.navitemcontainer li a
{
text-decoration: none;
color: #FFF;
display: block;
text-align: center;
padding-left: 20px;
padding-right: 20px;
font-size: 20px;
font-family: 'Allerta Stencil';
}
.navitemcontainer li:active
{
margin-top: 2px;
}
I also have a Javascript function to change the opacity of the links on mouseenter/mouseleave:
function opaquelinkchange()
{
$(".logo, .navlistul li").on
(
{
mouseenter : function()
{
$(this).stop().fadeTo(250, 1);
},
mouseleave : function()
{
$(this).stop().fadeTo(250, 0.5);
}
}
)
}
The issue I have is when the mouse enters the navigation links, it also lights up (sets the opacity) of the CSS property below:
.navitemcontainer li~li
{
border-right: 3px ridge #FFF;
}
I understand that this is correct and there is no fault here, but I would like to have the border-right property remain opaque and not light up upon mouseenter.
Is there any way of excluding this CSS property from the JavaScript code?
I am fairly new to HTML, CSS and JS so please excuse me if this is a stupid question and for the code formatting.
Thanks for any help.

I am trying to create a responsive nav bar, but I am coming across issues making it appear in the way intended.
Here is an image of how it looks when window is maximized:
Here is an image when the window is resized:
Here is an image of what I want the page to look and function like:
Issues:
As the images show, the header currently shows the links "stretches, mobility" etc, when I want it to display "Join / Log In" etc (image 3).
When menuis clicked, I want the nav to dynamically display the other links.
Here is what I have tried so far: https://jsfiddle.net/hudnybux/
Ok, I think I got it to look almost exactly like your screenshots. One of the main things I had to do was move your nav-trigger up within html.
<div id="header-main">
<div id="nav-trigger"><span>Menu</span></div>
<nav id="main-navigation" role="navigation">
<ul>
<li>Stretches</li>
<li>Mobility</li>
<li>Posture</li>
</ul>
</nav>
<!--<nav id="nav-mobile"></nav>-->
</div>
Technically you no longer need nav-mobile nav. I also fixed your caret triangle next to "menu". It needed a height and width of 0.
width: 0;
height: 0;
Edit:
I have revisited my solution. Just as a suggestion, I am recommending css transitions instead of jQuery slideDown and slideUp. You were already applying a class and that is all we need to create dynamic animations. jQuery's methods apply the styles inline and frankly leave you with less flexibility.
https://jsfiddle.net/qnco3x7e/8/
You will need to add another media query
#media all and (max-width: 460px) {
nav#main-navigation li {
display:block;
border-bottom: 1px solid #fafafa;
}
}
You can use flexbox css properties. It's very powerfull. http://www.alsacreations.com/tuto/lire/1493-css3-flexbox-layout-module.html
Writing others' code for them is not in the spirit of Stack Overflow, but, as I prefer teaching by showing and not telling, I went ahead and did the task for you. Observe how I changed your implementation and learn as much as you can!
The Strategy
Use the same HTML markup for the main menu (Stretches, Mobility, Posture) on both large and small screen widths, instead of using JavaScript to duplicate it in two places.
Use the same CSS for both menus as a starting point; in the media query for small screen sizes, change the main menu to be horizontal
Show everything by default; use display: none only on screen sizes you don't want to show something on.
JSFiddle
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#main-nav-mobile-trigger span").click(function() {
$(this).toggleClass("open");
if ($(this).hasClass("open")) {
$("#main-nav").addClass("open").slideDown(250);
} else {
$("#main-nav").removeClass("open").slideUp(250);
}
});
});

The HTML
I removed your container <div>s (#header and #header-main), as they serve no purpose as far as layout is concerned.
There are now only three parts to the header area. In order they are:
#top-nav - Join/Login, Help, Shop
#main-nav-mobile-trigger - MENU button
#main-nav - Stretches, Mobility, Posture
The JavaScript
When the MENU button (#main-nav-mobile-trigger span) is clicked:
Toggle its .open class.
If it has the .open class,
Add #main-nav's .open class.
Otherwise,
Remove #main-nav's .open class.
The CSS
You had duplicates of the styling rules for each horizontal menu (formerly #nav-main and #main-navigation, which are very easy to confuse). These are now combined into one set of rules under the more general selector, nav. Additionally, their text-align is set to center by default (the desired alignment on small screen widths).
For big screen widths (#media all and (min-width: 901px)):
Align #top-nav to the right and #main-nav to the left.
Hide the MENU button.
For small screen widths (#media all and (max-width: 900px)):
If #main-nav doesn't have the .open class, hide it.
Display the menu items in #main-nav horizontally.
I hope this helps you. Best of luck with your future adventures in front-end development!
I have a following HTML:
<span class="day-number">{{day-number}}</span>
<div class="event-box">
<div class="event-container">
</div>
<div class="more-events">more ...</div>
</div>
Event-container is filled with an unknown number of .event elements like the following:
<div class="event">{{event-name}}</div>
I want to show or hide the .more element based on if the .event-container has a height of over 76px (equal to the height of four .event elements stacked).
The styling for the above elements:
.event {
text-align: left;
font-size: .85em;
line-height: 1.3;
border-radius: 3px;
border: 1px solid #3a87ad;
background-color: #3a87ad;
font-weight: normal;
color: whitesmoke;
padding: 0 1px;
overflow: hidden;
margin-bottom: 2px;
cursor: pointer;
}
.event-box {
max-height: 76px;
overflow: hidden;
position:relative;
}
.event-box .more-events {
height: 10px;
position: absolute;
right: 0;
bottom: 10px;
display: none;
z-index: 5;
}
No styling for .event-container
I can do what I want with Javascript (jQuery):
$(".event-box").each(function(){
var $this = $(this);
if($this.children(".event-container").height() > 76){
$this.children(".more-events").css("display", "block");
} else {
$this.children(".more-events").css("display", "");
}
});
And run that every time a make a change, but I'd rather do it with CSS.
Is this possible? Maybe with pseudo elements or media queries or something?
JSFIDDLE: http://jsfiddle.net/pitaj/LjLxuhx2/
If changing the markup is acceptable there is a possibility to achieve a somewhat similarly looking page without using JavaScript to show or hide, here is the Fiddle
I have removed <div class="more-events">more ...</div> line and made elements of event class to get hide when it is necessary I also made them to appear when hovering over more ... .
The CSS I have added:
.event:nth-child(n){
display: none;
}
.event:nth-child(1),.event:nth-child(2),.event:nth-child(3),.event:nth-child(4){
display: block;
}
.event:nth-child(5){
text-indent: -9999px;
position: relative;
display: block;
color: black;
border: none;
background-color: #FFF;
}
.event:nth-child(5)::before{
position: absolute;
text-indent: 0px;
content: "more ...";
display: block;
}
.event:nth-child(5):hover{
position: static;
text-indent: 0;
border: 1px solid #3a87ad;
background-color: #3a87ad;
color: whitesmoke;
}
.event:nth-child(5):hover::before{
display:none;
}
.event:nth-child(5):hover ~ .event:nth-child(n){
display: block;
}
And for .event-box class I have commented out max-height: 76px; because in my browser 76px was not equal to the height of four .event elements stacked. Also removed update function.
I dont think it's possible using css only. but for better approach in what you are trying to do.instead of using max-height for .event-box I use this css which is add display:none to +4.event on your event container:
.event-box .event-container .event:nth-child(n+5){
display: none;
}
and now when it's more than 4 .event your more text appears. FIDDLE
UPDATE:
HERE I make little change in you js as well and make it more professional,
while you are using template to render the page, maybe you can do it as follow
<div class="event-container">
{{#each events}}
<div class="event">{{event-name}}</div>
{{/each}}
</div>
{{#if canshowmore}}
<div class="more-events">more ...</div>
{{/if}}
and
function canshowmore() {
return events.length >= 4;
}
