javascript Dropdown menu always opens at a specific location

javascript Dropdown menu always opens at a specific location - javascript

i have a javaScript Drop Down menu which i'am displaying in table row along with some other data . so when i click on the first menu button it opens like it should , slightly below the button , but when i press the menu button for the other rows of data below i the menu always opens in the position of the first row of the table .
long story short i click the dropdown menu and menu appears somewhere else away from the button .
my javascript
/* click on the button,
toggle between hiding and showing the dropdown content */
function myFunction() {
document.getElementById("myDropdown").classList.toggle("show");
}
// Close the dropdown
window.onclick = function(event) {
if (!event.target.matches('.dropbtn')) {
var dropdowns = document.getElementsByClassName("dropdown-content");
var i;
for (i = 0; i < dropdowns.length; i++) {
var openDropdown = dropdowns[i];
if (openDropdown.classList.contains('show')) {
openDropdown.classList.remove('show');
}
}
}
}
the CSS
.dropbtn {
background-color: #027581;
color: white;
padding: 3.5px;
font-size: 16px;

the html
<div class="dropdown">

<div id="myDropdown" class="dropdown-content">

any help i appreaciated

On the .dropdown-content you are displaying it as absolute without giving it any position, so it will be at 0,0 of the first parent that is not position:static, so in this case the div.dropdown. Where you are using flex-box on that div, you can utilize flex-direction: column to flow the elements in a column.
EDIT:
In a table situation, the event function is calling an ID. Since an ID needs to be unique, and you are assigning multiple elements with the same ID, the function is only finding the first element with that ID and toggling the class of that element. So in your case it will always be the first row.
In the snippet below, I adjusted it to be a table. In the event function, I pass the event. I can then get the event.target which is the "button" that was clicked. By adding on .parentNode to the end of that (event.target.parentNode), it will go up the DOM one level, and get the parent of the clicked on button. You can use the querySelector on that div to find just the div.dropdown-content within that parent div and toggle the .show class.
See if the snippet below is what you are looking for.
/* click on the button,
toggle between hiding and showing the dropdown content */
function myFunction(event) {
const parent = event.target.parentNode;
parent.querySelector(`.dropdown-content`).classList.toggle(`show`)
}
// Close the dropdown
window.onclick = function(event) {
if (!event.target.matches(`.dropbtn`)) {
document.querySelectorAll(`.dropdown-content.show`)
.forEach(element => element.classList.remove(`show`));
}
}

When any of the menus are clicked, only the first dropdown comes up. I know there's probably easier ways to do this, but I'd like the appearance to stay exactly as it.
If anyone could show me a fix for this, that'd be beyond helpful.
Thank You!

Your whole document needs revamping to be more up to date in terms of standards and also to make things easier in making it work.
Based on your current document;
Change all of you dropdown divs to be as so.
<div class="dropdown" onclick="myFunction(this)">
<button class="dropbtn"> Science </button>
<div id="myDropdown" class="dropdown-content">Link 1 Link 2 Link 3 </div>
</div>
Change your javascript to be as so;
<script>
function myFunction(element) {
// Here I am assuming the dropdown div to have the same child
// elements in the same order each block
element.children[1].classList.toggle("show");
}
// Close the dropdown if the user clicks outside of it
window.onclick = function(event) {
if (!event.target.matches('.dropbtn')) {
var dropdowns = document.getElementsByClassName("dropdown-content");
var i;
for (i = 0; i < dropdowns.length; i++) {
var openDropdown = dropdowns[i];
if (openDropdown.classList.contains('show')) {
openDropdown.classList.remove('show');
}
}
}
}
</script>
Add font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace into the .dropbtn stylng in order to keep the font. I would advise moving all of the font tags to use this method. You should be using CSS for things like that.
Things to note;
Tags that should not really be used any more;
<font>, <center>, <big>. - These should all be achieved through CSS properties bound to classes and/or IDs.
ID should be set to a unique value for all elements that need it across the current DOM. Class is fine to be used multiple times across elements.

Removing Class Using Javascript

I'm trying to teach myself a little javascript for project I am working on and just wanted to see if I could get some help. I use 3 different drop down menus and I use the below function to hide one menu when another is clicked. It worked
function DropDownMenuNavigation() {
document.getElementById("DropDownMenuNav").classList.toggle("show");
document.getElementById('DropDownMenuChart').classList.remove('show');
}
The above code worked well when I had 2 different drop down menus. But now that I have 3 it doesn't seem to see the 3 line I've added below.
function DropDownMenuNavigation() {
document.getElementById("DropDownMenuNav").classList.toggle("show");
document.getElementById('DropDownMenuChart').classList.remove('show');
document.getElementById('DropDownMenuCat').classList.remove('show');
}
If I switch the bottom line with the middle line it will regonize that line, I'm guessing there is something wrong with the format I'm writing it in? Something tells me I'm not including a separator or something. Anyways, I know its something small, maybe someone could point it out to me.

The code you posted has mismatches between the actual ids of the content and the document.getElementById() lines, but assuming that you correct that, your code does in fact work, but each bit of content just winds up going under the other, so you never see the correct content.
function DropDownMenuNavigation() {

But, since you are new to this, it's best not to start off with bad habits, so don't use inline HTML event attributes (i.e. onclick, etc.), there are many reasons why and you can review them here.
Next, you have a lot of unneeded HTML and the structure of the HTML should be altered to represent the hierarchy of the content.
Also, you don't need separate functions for each menu click as trying to keep track of what should be hidden and what should be shown in an ever-increasing list of menu items is not a scaleable result.
When these changes are made, the HTML is much cleaner and less involved and the JavaScript is also much simpler:
// First, get references to the HTML elements your code will need.
// You could get individual references, like this:
/*
var b2DropDownMenuNav = document.getElementById("b2DropDownMenuNav");
var b2DropDownMenuCat = document.getElementById("b2DropDownMenuCat");
var b2DropDownMenuCha = document.getElementById("b2DropDownMenuCha");
*/
// But in your case, a single reference to the collection of menus will do.
// We'll also want that collection to be converted to a JavaScript array.
var menus = Array.prototype.slice.call(document.querySelectorAll(".dropbtn"));
// Now, we can just loop over the array and give the buttons a common function
// to perform when they are clicked (no need for multiple functions.
menus.forEach(function(menu){
menu.addEventListener("click", function(){
// Hide any currently showing menu content
Array.prototype.slice.call(document.querySelectorAll(".dropdown-content")).forEach(function(content){
content.classList.remove("show");
});
// Show the content of the menu that was clicked:
menu.querySelector(".dropdown-content").classList.toggle("show");
});
});

Improve javascript code for drop down menu

The below code has two drop down menus which load container on button click and drop down closes on clicking anywhere on page. Though the window load works but the pages inside takes too much time to load even on local server obviously because my javascript code isn't the way it should. So guys what should my javascript code like so that it loads page correctly and at the same time closes drop down on clicking anywhere on page [if both drop downs are open both should close on click like in snippet].
function myFunction(event) {
event.stopPropagation();
document.getElementById("myDropdown").classList.toggle("show");
}
function myFunction2(event) {
event.stopPropagation();
document.getElementById("myDropdown2").classList.toggle("show");
}
window.onclick = function(event) {
$("#notificationContainer").load("notifications.php");
document.getElementById("myDropdown").classList.remove("show");
$("#scoreContainer").load("score.php");
document.getElementById("myDropdown2").classList.remove("show");
}
.dropdown,
.dropdown2 {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
/* Dropdown Content (Hidden by Default) */
.dropdown-content,
.dropdown-content2 {
display: none;
background-color: #fff;
position: absolute;
min-width: 160px;
box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
right: 0;
}
.dropdown-content a,
.dropdown-content2 a {
padding: 10px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
display: block;
}
.show {
display: block;
}
.dropbtn {
height: 25px;
width: 50px;
border: none;
background-color: white;
background: red;
}
.dropbtn2 {
height: 25px;
width: 50px;
border: none;
background-color: white;
background: green;
}
.dropdown-content,
.dropdown-content2 {
border: 2px solid #c6c6c6;
border-top: none;
}
#notificationContainer,
#scoreContainer {
min-width: 400px;
min-height: 100px;
border: none;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

The above javascript is modified from the below single drop down menu code which loaded the page inside container instantly, but my modified version [above] takes too much time:
<script type="text/javascript">
function myFunction() {
document.getElementById("myDropdown").classList.toggle("show");
}
window.onclick = function(event) {
$( "#notificationContainer" ).load( "notifications.php" );
if (!event.target.matches('.dropbtn')) {
var dropdowns = document.getElementsByClassName("dropdown-content");
var i;
for (i = 0; i < dropdowns.length; i++) {
var openDropdown = dropdowns[i];
if (openDropdown.classList.contains('show')) {
openDropdown.classList.remove('show');
}
}
}
}
</script>

there is nothing inherently wrong or slow about your javascript code. have you tried inspecting how long your PHP code runs? because that's where I would start looking for the problem.

There is nothing wrong with your dropdowns. They work fine. But they lack in design and the code looks way too much for such small control. I suggest you use Bootstrap. CSS and Javascript codes are external and you just need to place your dropdown in your project by coding some HTML.
There are several different designs and the way it works simpler than what you coded. Take a look at the below example and this page for more info about it:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css">

<script src="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<h2>Bootstrap Dropdown Example</h2>
<p>Nice design, easy usage, good performance.</p>
<p><b>To open the dropdown menu, use a button or a link with a class of .dropdown-toggle and data-toggle="dropdown".</b></p>
<div class="dropdown">
<button class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle" type="button" data-toggle="dropdown">Dropdown Example
<span class="caret"></span></button>

adjust columns of a table in HTML

I want to have a table, such that if the width of the page decreases the columns of the table should be displayed one below the other.

You can use CSS display properties to alter the way the table behaves. In order to make the table cells sit one on top of the other, you need to create a media query which will set the table and each cell to be display: block at the break point that best suits your needs.
In the example below the table cells will wrap when the screen width shrinks to 500px.
Example
#media (max-width: 500px) {
table {
display: block;
border: solid 1px #f00;
}
table td {
display: block;
border: solid 1px #f00;
}
}
<table>
<tr>
<td>Column 1</td>
<td>Column 2</td>
</tr>
</table>
Explanation
By default a table tag uses display: table and a table cell uses display: table-cell. By changing these properties we can alter the way the table is displayed.
For more information on display properties see this article:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/display
For more information on media queries see the following article:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Media_queries

Alright if i understand correctly you want something like this:

How to make html look disabled?

I read in some forums that to make an html table look disabled is to add a layer of div. My problem is I don't know how to do it.
I have 3 questions:
How will I set the div height that it will automatically adjust to the table height whenever the table increases its height when a new row is added.
How will I make the div cover the table. I don't know how to layer html elements.
How am I going to code the javascript that will make my table look disabled when I click 'Disable' button and enable it again when I click 'Enable' button.
tabledisabletest.html
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
</script>
<style type="text/css">
table#tblTest {
width: 100%;
margin-top: 10px;
font-family: verdana,arial,sans-serif;
font-size:12px;
color:#333333;
border-width: 1px;
border-color: #666666;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
table#tblTest tr.highlight td {
background-color: #8888ff;
}
table#tblTest tr.normal {
background-color: #ffffff;
}
table#tblTest th {
white-space: nowrap;
border-width: 1px;
padding: 8px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #666666;
background-color: #dedede;
}
table#tblTest td {
border-width: 1px;
padding: 8px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #666666;
background-color: #ffffff;
}
#disabler {
width: 100%;
height: 200px;
background-color: #bbb;
opacity:0.6;
}
</style>

</table>
<input type="button" onclick="disable = true;" value="Disable" />
<input type="button" onclick="disable = false;" value="Enable" />
</body>
</html>
I have the div disabler to do the disabling but I can't make it cover the table.
Please help me with this. I'm so new to this thing.

If you want the disabler element to overlay your table, add a negative bottom-margin to it. Also, set opacity to a value lower than 1, to not completely cover (hide) the table behind it.
#disabler {
opacity: 0.5;
margin-bottom: -200px;
}
Since you've mentioned that you're doing this for educative purposes, I won't give the full solution. See this fiddle to get started.
If you want to make a text look "unselectable", use the following CSS:
-webkit-user-select: none;
-khtml-user-select: none;
-moz-user-select: none;
-o-user-select: none;
user-select: none;

You will have to place the div disabler on top of the table.
You can do so by absolutely positioning the div. I added a new div, tableContainer enveloping the disabler div and the table, and absolutely positioning the div.
<div id="tableContainer"> <!-- New Div-->
<div id="disabler"></div>
<table>....<table>
</div>
Add position: absolute; to the #disabler
And most importantly write the javascript to display and hide the div:
function disableTable()
{
document.getElementById("disabler").style.display = "block";
}
function enableTable()
{
document.getElementById("disabler").style.display = "none";
}
