I've seen a lot of questions on this wesite about closing a drop-down menu by clicking anywhere on the page.
My question is a little bit different though. I don't want the dropdown-menu to close by clicking outside of it. The moment I click on the button that shows me the menu, I want the menu to stay like that (drop-downed) untill the user clicks on that same button again. Also, the moment when the menu is shown, I want it to push the other elements direcly beneath it down. These elements could be for example other buttons. You guys might have seen this concept on some websites and I like the idea. I want to create the same thing, but I don't how.
This will probably be made with Javascript since this is easier, but I don't know how to do it. Do you guys have any ideas or tips?
I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance.
Edit: Here's an example of what I ment: Link to jsfiddle ->https://jsfiddle.net/Cerebrl/uhykY/
I want to push down button 2 and 3 the moment the first menu is drop downed, so it can create it's own space to display. And secondly, the menu should only close the moment I push the button, not by clicking outside of it.
Your can use toggleSlide method in two lines like
$(function(){
$('button').click(function(){
$('ul').slideToggle();
});
});
ul {
background: none #FA982E;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
display: none;
}
ul a {
display: block;
padding: 5px 20px;
text-decoration: none;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<p>
<button data-toggle="#menu-main" title="Click to toggle">Toggle Menu</button>
</p>
<ul id="menu-main">
<li>Menu item 1</li>
<li>Menu item 2</li>
</ul>
If you want the menu to push the content below, than put it in normal flow. What you need is a simple jQuery's slideToggle method and to hide the menu by default:
$('[data-toggle]').on('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault;
var thisLink = $(this);
var toToggle = $( thisLink.data('toggle') );
toToggle.slideToggle(200);
})
* {
font-family: sans-serif;
}
.toggle-menu a {
display: block;
float: right;
padding: 5px 20px;
text-align: center;
background: none #F1B475;
cursor: pointer;
}
#menu-main {
background: none #FA982E;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
display: none;
}
#menu-main a {
display: block;
padding: 5px 20px;
text-decoration: none;
}
#menu-main a:hover,
#menu-main a:focus {
background: none #D0812D;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="toggle-menu">
<p>
HALLO
<a data-toggle="#menu-main" title="Click to toggle">+</a>
</p>
</div>
<ul id="menu-main">
<li>Menu item 1</li>
<li>Menu item 2</li>
</ul>
<p>
Other content
</p>
Since the menu has no absolute or fixed position, it will push the content below it. JSFiddle playground

I've been trying for hours with this javascript navigation, I've researched many sites, including w3schools, codepen, and css tricks, and many others, I've spent hours reading through stack, and everything has helped a lot, now I'm almost finished, and I need some help making this menu work.
Essentially, it is a sub navigation menu that stays open when you click the down ARROW BUTTON and closes when you click anywhere on the page. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.
The menu has two links:
Forum 1 / down ARROW BUTTON and
Forum 2 / down ARROW BUTTON
I can get Forum 1 down ARROW BUTTON to open the subnavigation sometimes, by clicking the down ARROW BUTTON, but I cannot get Forum 2 down ARROW BUTTON to trigger sub navigation at all.
I'm not sure if it is the way I have the css, or what.
I'm providing the full menu with css, html, and javascript,
Like I said, I can get the first down ARROW BUTTON to open the sub navigation sometimes, but that is about it. Can you help me get this working please?
Here is the styling for the navigation menu
body {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
margin: 0;
}
.navbar {
overflow: hidden;
background-color: #18143c;
}
.navbar a {
float: left;
font-size: 16px;
color: white;
text-align: center;
padding: 14px 7px 14px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
}
.subnav {
float: left;
overflow: auto;
}
.subnav .subnavbtn {
font-size: 16px;
border: none;
outline: none;
color: white;
padding: 14px 5px;
background-color: inherit;
font-family: inherit;
margin: 0;
margin-right:26px;
}
.navbar a:hover, .subnav:hover .subnavbtn {
background-color: #46485c;
}
.subnav-content-1 {
display: none;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
background-color: #46485c;
width: 100%;
z-index: 1;
overflow:auto;
}
.subnav-content-1 a {
float: left;
color: white;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 10px 10px;
}
.subnav-content-1 a:hover {
background-color: #eee;
color: black;
}
.show {display: block;}
Here is the HTML for the navigation menu
<div class="navbar">
Forums 1
<div class="subnav">
<button onclick="myFunction()" class="subnavbtn"><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></button>
<div id="myDropdown" class="subnav-content-1">

<div id="myDropdown" class="subnav-content-1">

</div>

And here is the javascript
/* When the user clicks on the button,
toggle between hiding and showing the dropdown content */
function myFunction() {
document.getElementById("myDropdown").classList.toggle("show");
}
// Close the dropdown if the user clicks outside of it
window.onclick = function(event) {
if (!event.target.matches('.subnavbtn')) {
var dropdowns = document.getElementsByClassName("subnav-content-1");
var i;
for (i = 0; i < dropdowns.length; i++) {
var openDropdown = dropdowns[i];
if (openDropdown.classList.contains('show')) {
openDropdown.classList.remove('show');
}
}
}
}
</script>
here is a link to the page on W3schools where I've been working on this menu.
https://www.w3schools.com/code/tryit.asp?filename=GC3LUF0TLS6S
What I am trying to do is, get the menu working were, when you click the dropdown ARROW BUTTON, it opens the sub navigation menu, then to close sub navigation, you just click anywhere on the page.
This almost works!! Please help me get it working right.
Hi man I found a fix for you, I don't know if it is what you need but it gets that job done:
First change the id's for each dropdown as they are conflicting when js is called, then call that js function with a the id number of each dropdown:
<div class="navbar">
Forums 1
<div class="subnav">
<button onclick="**myFunction(1)**" class="subnavbtn"><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></button>
<div id="**myDropdown1**" class="subnav-content-1">
Test Main
Test link 1
Test link 1
Test link 1
</div>
</div>
Forums 2
<div class="subnav">
<button onclick="**myFunction(2)**" class="subnavbtn"><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></button>
<div id="**myDropdown2**" class="subnav-content-1">
Test Main
Test link 2
Test link 2
Test link 2
</div>
</div>
</div>
Then you should add a parameter to you js function to know which dropdown to toggle:
function myFunction(n) {
document.getElementById("myDropdown"+n).classList.toggle("show");
}
Ok so i'm super beginner with html and css and i don't know javascript at all.I'm creating a little website as a school project, i made horizontal navigation bar from w3schools tutorial, what i want to do is when i press one of the buttons to stay colored, not just change color for 1 sec because they are 'active'. My code may be completely messy but i really need help.
Also i have 3 more subpages connected to this one, i want them to stay colored as well.
What i'm trying to achieve is exactly this: How can I add class on active li with JavaScript code
But it doesnt work for me, maybe i need to change something in javascrip because my class is named 'navbar'?
I've tried several solves from this topic on stack overflow but none of these work for me :\
HTML:
<ul class="navbar">
<li>Pocetna</li>
<li>Stranica 2</li>
<li>Stranica 3</li>
<li style="float: right;">Kontakt</li>
</ul>
CSS:
.navbar {
list-style-type: none;
position: sticky;
top: 0;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: #333;
}
.navbar li {
float: left;
}
.navbar li a {
display: block;
color: white;
text-align: center;
padding: 14px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Arial;
}
.navbar li a:hover {
background-color: #111;
}
Im expecting link to stay orange when im on that page.
you can do some things with jquery like add an event listener that changes the css of html elements
const changeColor = () => {
$('ul > li > a').css('background-color', 'inherit')
$(event.target).css("background-color", "red")
}
$('ul > li > a').on('click', changeColor)
https://jsfiddle.net/z02ndowt/
You can do this by adding a class onto your html <a> tag on the link that is active and then just style the active class within your CSS. See below:
HTML
<ul class="navbar">
<li><a class="active" href="sajt.html">Pocetna</a></li>
<li>Stranica 2</li>
<li>Stranica 3</li>
<li style="float: right;">Kontakt</li>
</ul>
CSS
.active {
color: orange;
}
Ok so i did some testing and kinda found a solution. I put identificator on instead of class. So on my main page i put id="active" on first link, on my second page on second link etc. then just added #active { background-color: orange; } and it works just how i wanted it to work.
I have looked everywhere possible as I am trying to develop a drop down button, but instead of options then the buttons display unordered list items, but when a user click off the button the the button does not close, but in order to close the button, then the button needs to be click again.
Down below you will find the way the button is when not clicked and the way the button appears when it has been clicked.
If you also go to the following website you will see an example of the button in action by click "See our list of websites"
Button on a website for example
Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.
Here you go, key functions I used;
.click() for the a tag or the link, the function inside the .click() will be called.
.slideToggle() the ul after the click, this would hide or show the target element depending on its state.
Then add positon:absolute to the ul so that it wouldn't affect inline elements.
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".toggle-button").click(function() {
$(this).parent().find("ul").slideToggle(function() {
// Animation complete.
});
});
})

I'm not sure if I understand what you want. But here's a sample of what you asked, a button that when you click, show a list. And when you click on an item, the list goes out and you have the item. Hope this helps you. It's a simple code, but if you have questions, go ahead and ask!!
function closeList(e) {
var site = e.target.innerText;
alert(site + ' clicked!!');
document.querySelector('#dvSites').style.display = 'none';
}
function showList() {
var dvSites = document.querySelector('#dvSites');
if (dvSites.style.display === '')
return; // already visible
dvSites.style.display = '';
}
// Add eventListener to close the div
var lis = document.querySelector('#dvSites').querySelectorAll('li');
for(var i = 0; i < lis.length; i++) {
lis[i].addEventListener('click', closeList);
}
// Add eventListener to open the div
document.querySelector('#btnShow').addEventListener('click', showList);
<button id="btnShow">Show sites!!</button>
<div id="dvSites" style="display: none">
<ul>
<li>stackoverflow.com</li>
<li>www.google.com</li>
<li>www.sipmann.com</li> <!-- :) -->
</ul>
</div>
I'm unable to make the popups 'redItem', 'blueItem' and 'greenItem' below visible again after setting their display to 'none'. I'm using a CSS selector to get them visible again when the mouse hovers over a node higher up in the nested list to no avail.
Here's the code:
<ul class="popups" style="vertical-align: bottom; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">
<li style="width: 165px"><a id="topmostBox" href="#">One_high-up_item</a>
<ul class="popups">
<li>First-lower-item
<ul class="popups">
<li name="redItem" >Red</li>
<li name="blueItem">Blue</li>
<li name="greenItem">Green</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
.popups:hover > li {
display: block;
}
.popups {
background-color: white;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: 13.5px;
list-style: none;
position: relative;
border: 1px solid lightgray;
border-width: .05em;
border-top-color: rgb(165,165,165);
line-height: 1.2em;
display: inline-table;
}
function setTopColorAndVis(theNestedPopupAnchor)
{
var theColorName = theNestedPopupAnchor.innerHTML;
var topMenuBox = document.getElementById('topmostBox');
topMenuBox.innerHTML = theColorName ;
theNestedPopupAnchor.parentNode.style.display = "none";
}
What happens is this:
1) I select the color 'Red' (the 1st list item)
2) my call to setTopColorAndVis(this) makes the popup disappear (because the user selected an item, the color "Red", and now the popup is not needed for now)
3) but when I later hover the mouse over the "First-lower-item" list item, the child li that has the ul containing 'redItem', 'greenItem', 'blueItem' does not appear.
So my experience here is that I'm successfully able to hide the list items named 'redItem', 'blueItem' and 'greenItem' -- but when I hover over the "First-lower-item", despite my CSS code:
.popups:hover > li {
display: block;
}
The 'redItem', 'greenItem' and 'blueItem' do NOT reappear.
What am I missing here?
The inline style overrides you style in your css code. you should use onmouseover event and onmouseout instead.
Try
<li name="redItem" >Red</li>
function show(elem){
elem.parentNode.style.display = "block";
}
function hide(elem){
elem.parentNode.style.display = "none";
}
You cannot :hover over an element with display:none as it has no size...
instead of working with display, you can work with visibility - which will leave an area to hover over.
like so:
theNestedPopupAnchor.parentNode.style.visibility = 'hidden'
.popups:hover > li {
visibility: visible;
}

This question already has an answer here:
How to highlight active tab on the website menu?
(1 answer)
Closed 9 years ago.
My question is :
I have a menu items, and I want to highlight the active tab that users switch to that points to another page for sure .
stackover flow use :
.nav {
float: left;
font-size: 125%;
}
.nav ul {
margin: 0;
}
.nav li {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #777777;
display: block;
float: left;
margin-right: 7px;
}
**.nav .youarehere {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FF9900;

.youarehere a {
color: #FFFFFF;

.nav li:hover {
background-color: #FF9900;
}
.nav a {
color: #FFFFFF;
display: block;
padding: 6px 12px;
text-decoration: none;
}
Can anybody tell me what else they use to make this work ?
menu :
<ul class="nav">
<li> <a href="{$smarty.const._URL}/index.{$smarty.const._FEXT}" class="wide-nav-link menu_link" >{$lang.homepage}</a></li>
<li class="dropdown">
{$lang.category} <b class="caret"></b>
<ul class="dropdown-menu menu_link">
{dropdown_menu_video_categories}
</ul>
</li>
{if $smarty.const._MOD_ARTICLE == 1}
<li class="dropdown">
{$lang.articles} <b class="caret"></b>
<ul class="dropdown-menu menu_link">
{dropdown_menu_article_categories}
</ul>
</li>
{/if}
<li> {$lang.top_videos}</li>
<li>{$lang.new_videos}</li>
<li>{$lang.random_video}</li>
{if isset($mm_menu_always_inject1)}{$mm_menu_always_inject1}{/if}
<li>{$lang.contact_us}</li>
{if isset($mm_menu_always_inject2)}{$mm_menu_always_inject2}{/if}
{if $logged_in != 1 && isset($mm_menu_notlogged_inject)}{$mm_menu_notlogged_inject}{/if}
</ul>
Or you can add programmatically class="active" (or selected) to the current selected menu and do this:
.nav li a.active {
color: #FFFFFF;
}
#ChrisHerbert your solution will not work... you will change all the li of the menu... because the class is in your body tag. (EDIT: the solution was changed, see comments)
With #ChrisHerbert answer, you can do it in two ways:
1) with Javascript, take the class in the body tag then select the one with the associate index (:eq() in jQuery). (you can find a way without javascript for non-javascript user)
OR
2) you can do: .home .nav li:nth-child(0) {}, .about-us .nav:nth-child(1) {}, etc. if you know the index of each page in your menu! Or other child selector but, old versions of IE don't like it!
I think you should do it with my solution rather then the body tag. Still, it is really useful to have that class in the body for page specific thingy to add.
Add a unique class to the <body> tag of each page. For example, on the home page:
<body class="home">
On the contact page: <body class="contact">
On the blog page: <body class="blog">
..and so on.
Then, in your CSS, do something like this:
.home .nav li.home, .contact .nav li.contact, .blog .nav li.blog {
// styling to indicate active state
}
I think the question is, are you looking to have this done dynamically? Or are you coding each page? The other two solutions are great, but a bit overkill if actually you're accessing each page individually. You could just add a class to the selected nav element depending on the page. This is probably the easiest to get your head around if you've not done it before, but #ChrisHerbert's solution is the nicest way of doing it dynamically just using CSS (no PHP ifs etc).
