I created a simple website for practice purposes. I'm trying to create a dropdown menu for the Items in navigation but when I ran the website, it doesn't show anything. All files are saved in desktop.
Here is the code for my html(main.html) with jquery(jquery-1.3.2.min.js):
function mainmenu() {
$(" #nav ul ").css({
display: "none"
});
$(" #nav li ").hover(function() {
$(this).find('ul:first').css({
visibility: "visible",
display: "none"
}).show(400);
}, function() {
$(this).find('ul:first').css({
visibility: "hidden"
});
});
}
$(document).ready(function() {
mainmenu();
});
body {
font-family: 'lucida grande', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
background-color: #e9e9e9;
}
#wrapper {
width: 1080px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 10px;
border: 5px solid #dedede;
background-color: #fff;
}
#banner {
height: 200px;
border: 3px solid #E3E3E3;
background-color: blue;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
#navigation {
height: 60px;
border: 3px solid #E3E3E3;
margin-top: 20px;
margin-left: 5px;
margin-right: 5px;
background-color: red;
text-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em #333;
}
#nav {
list-style: none;
}
#nav ul {
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: auto;
display: none;
}
#nav li {
font-size: 24px;
float: left;
position: relative;
width: 180px;
height: 50px;
}
#nav li ul li {
background-color: green;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
border: 3px solid #E3E3E3;
padding-left: 10px;
}
#nav a:link,
#nav a:active,
#nav a:visited {

}
#nav a:hover {

}

Yes the error is inside your code. You are trying to target the first ul inside the li but in your code you the ul is standalone/ outside the li.
<li>Items
</li>
<ul>
<li>T-Shirt
</li>
<li>Pants
</li>
<li>Accessories
</li>
</ul>
see the ul is out side the Items li, put it inside and it will work like this.
<li>Items
<ul>
<li>T-Shirt
</li>
<li>Pants
</li>
<li>Accessories
</li>
</ul>
</li>
You were putting a ul inside a ul directly.
The problem is not with your jQuery but with the HTML, you should wrap your dropdown menu (ul) with items (li)
function mainmenu() {
$(" #nav ul ").css({
display: "none"
});
$(" #nav li ").hover(function() {
$(this).find('ul:first').css({
visibility: "visible",
display: "none"
}).show(400);
}, function() {
$(this).find('ul:first').css({
visibility: "hidden"
});
});
}
$(document).ready(function() {
mainmenu();
});

Everybody, I have been learning and trying to make a collapsible vertical menu using JavaScript and CSS.
What should I do so that when I expand both menus and I click again on user 1, the user 2 will be hidden?
Here's the coding:

You can use jQuery to reduce your coding efforts.
Following is the only code you need.

I made this nav menu for reference. It's responsive to screen size too.
var btn = document.getElementById('navBtn');
var ul = document.getElementById('navUl');
btn.addEventListener("click", function(){
ul.classList.toggle("active");
});
#bar {
position: fixed;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
width: 100%;
background-color: #333;
}
nav ul {
list-style: none;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
nav ul li {
display: inline-block;
}
nav ul li a {
display: inline-block;
padding: 20px;
color: #fff;
font-family: Verdana;
text-decoration: none;
}
nav ul li:hover {
background-color: #666;
}
#navBtn {
display: none;
}
#media screen and (max-width: 500px) {
nav ul li,
nav ul li a {
text-align: center;
display: block;
}
nav ul {
display: none;
}
nav ul.active {
display: block;
}
#navBtn {
display: block;
width: 60px;
height: 60px;
border: 1px solid #fff;
background-color: #333;
color: #fff;
}
}
<div id="bar">
<button id="navBtn">☰</button>
<nav>
<ul id="navUl">
<li>home</li>
<li>news</li>
<li>contact</li>
<li>about</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
As a side note, you can also technically do this with pure CSS (though, that's a bit tricky; you'd use a checkbox w/ labels for it).
Also, I saw your className = code, so I wanted to specifically point out the Element.classList bit in my code. It comes with .add(), .remove(), .toggle() and other useful methods.
I am new to Jquery and
I am trying to make a dropdown on my navigation using simple Jquery hover effect, and I think I am using wrong selector on Jquery.
I would like to see the dropdown and be able to navigate when i hover over 'What's New'
Any help would be awesome. Thanks,

You should use a nested ul for your dropdown menu. You don't need jQuery at all for this. It can all be done with CSS. Take a look at this simple hover effect under the Products tab.
Codepen
HTML
<header class="navbar">
<div class="container">
<ul class="menu">
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>
Products
<ul>
<li>Cars
<ul>
<li>Ford</li>
<li>Chevy</li>
<li>Toyota</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Trucks</li>
<li>Vans</li>
<li>SUVs</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</div>
</header>

Your submenu is hidden with visibility: hidden style.
I also separated the handled so that the menu doesn't hide while you're hovering it, and added finish() so that we're not queueing animations.
But yeah, like ncox85 said you should do this with css.
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.nav-level-2').hide();
$("li .nav-level-1").mouseenter(
function () {
$('.nav-level-2').finish().slideDown('200');
}
);
$("li .nav-level-2").mouseleave(
function () {
$('.nav-level-2').finish().slideUp('200');
});
});
.main-nav {
background: #000;
height: 30px;
position: relative;
overflow: visible;
z-index: 2;
width: 100%;
left: 0;
cursor: default;
}
.main-nav .inner{
height: 100%;
}
.main-nav>.inner{
text-align: justify;
}
.nav-links-container {
position: static;
/* background: red; */
height: 100%;
}
.nav-links{
padding: 0 0 0 3px;
display: inline;
margin-bottom: 20px;
overflow: hidden;
/*background-color: green; */
}

vertical-align: top;

display: inline-block;
/* background: blue; */
}

Just use display:none instead of visibility:hidden on class .nav-level-2
If any of you are wondering, I got a good result from just using html/css, got rid of jquery.
Maybe I will use jquery another time. fun lesson for myself and those of you out there. Thanks guys

So I have this competetion about creating a website and I want to create a list element which is expandable when the user for example sends the mouse over it just like in the website below and the options pop out
http://www.howtogeek.com/
This is the HTML
<ul>
<li>Artikuj</li>
<li>Na ndiqni</li>
<li>Rreth nesh</li>
</ul>
And this is the CSS
ul {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
overflow: hidden;
border: 1px solid black;
background-color: black;
height: 37px;
border-radius: 20px;
}
li {
float: left;
font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif
}
li a {
display: block;
color: white;
text-align: center;
padding: 14px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: black
}
li a:hover:not(.active) {
background-color: gray;
}
li a.active {
color: white;
background-color: black;
}
Pure CSS:
ul {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;

}
li a.active {

}
li ul {
display: none;
position: absolute;
}
li:hover ul {
display: block;
}
<ul>
<li>Artikuj
<ul>
<li>Artikuj</li>
<li>Na ndiqni</li>
<li>Rreth nesh</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Na ndiqni</li>

float: left;
width: 200px;
}
.dropdown-content a:hover {background-color: #f1f1f1}
