How do I shift content to left in nav bar - javascript

So I know this will be a very easy fix, however, I cannot figure it out for the life of me.
How can I shift the letters in this nav bar to the very left?
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".letter").click(function(e) {
$(".letter").parent().removeClass('current');
$(this).parent().addClass('current');
var letter = $(this).html().trim();
$(".submenuDiv").hide();
x = e.clientX - 100;
pos = $(this).position();
y = pos.top + 50;
$("#div" + letter).css({
left: x,
top: y,
position: 'absolute'
});
$("#div" + letter).show();
});
});
.alphabetNav {
background-color: #D9DDDF;
}
.alphabetNav li {
text-decoration: none;
cursor: pointer;
float: left;
display: inline;
list-style: none;
background-color: #E9EDEF;
padding: 3px;
margin: 2px;
}
.letter:hover {

}
}
.submenuDiv ul {
display: inline;
}
.submenuDiv ul li {

list-style: none;
padding: 5px;

}
.submenuDiv {
display: none;
}
.alphabetNav {
width: 550px;
height: 27px
}
.noNav li {

color: #ccc
}
li.current {

}
.alphabetNav li {

Thanks in advance!


All you need is:
.alphabetNav{
padding-left: 0px;
}
Get familiar with using the Web Inspector in the browser, you will get to know what you need to do to fix your problem. :)
Here is a snapshot from Chrome (the green part is for padding):


Remove the padding from the container.
.alphabetNav{
padding:0;
background-color:#D9DDDF;
}
Or just the left padding.
.alphabetNav{
padding-left:0;
background-color:#D9DDDF;
}


Set padding to 0 on alphabetNav

Add active class to menu li on scrolling through section in div

In the below set of code basd on selecting the .help-menu elements on left .help-descr div navigated to particular section .
Similarly on scrolling the .help-descr div I want to add active class selection to appropriate .help-menu elements
This what I have tried:
Its something similar to the attached link Add Menu Active Class when scrolling to div I am not able to replicate same approach here
help.js
// on load of page
$(function() {

});

If you put an IntersectionObserver on each of the main sections the system will tell you when it comes into view or goes out of view.
Then you can add or remove the active class from the related link in the menu.
This snippet gives a demo but it had to shorten the overall length of the menu area just so we got to see the content below and it also fixed it otherwise it scrolled up and the effect of adding the active class couldn't be seen as the menu item was off the screen.
To make it obvious which section(s) are in view a lime background has been put on the link.
Note, there is some thought needed on what 'active' actually means since more than one section can be in the viewport at once. This snippet does not attempt to tackle that - it's ouside the scope of this question.
The snippet needs to be viewed full page.
const callback = (entries, observer) => {
entries.forEach(entry => {
const id = entry.target.id;
const el = document.body.querySelector('[href="#' + id + '"]');
if (entry.isIntersecting) {
el.classList.add('active');
} else {
el.classList.remove('active');
}
});
};
const sections = document.querySelectorAll('.main-section');
const options = {
threshold: 0.33
};
const observer = new IntersectionObserver(callback, options);
sections.forEach(section => {
observer.observe(section);
});

Drop Down direction changes according to free space

I am just into programing and I need your help.
I have an issue with my drop down sub-menu-s. I have a simple drop down on my header, however it is located too close to window border in this case only(Depending on permissions).
So the sub-menu opens beyond window border to the right side and user doesn't see the content of it.
I want it to detect if there is enough space to open on the right side. If yes, open on right. If not open on the left. Could you please help me to solve this issue?
This is how it works when it has enough space.
Here is my html:
<ul class="main-menu-list">

(function () {
handleMenuItems();
// functions:
function handleMenuItems() {
var menuEl = document.querySelector(".menu"),
userLinksList = menuEl && menuEl.querySelector(".user-links"),
recentlyItemListEl = menuEl && menuEl.querySelector(".recently-visited-item"),
favoriteItemListEl = menuEl && menuEl.querySelector(".favorites-item");
if (userLinksList) {

method: "GET",
successCallback: onloadUserLinks
};
function onloadUserLinks(result) {
if (!window.__RAPMD__) {
window.__RAPMD__ = {};
}
window.__RAPMD__.lastUserLinks = result;
createMenuList(result.RecentLinks, recentlyItemListEl, "No recently visited pages");
createMenuList(result.Favorites, favoriteItemListEl, "No favorite pages");
}
if (!window.__RAPMD__ || !window.__RAPMD__.lastUserLinks) {
ajax(options);
}
});
userLinksList.addEventListener("mouseleave", function (evt) {
if (!window.__RAPMD__) {
return;
}
window.__RAPMD__.lastUserLinks = null;
});
}
}
function createMenuList(items, menuItemEl, emptyListTitle) {
if (!menuItemEl) {
return;
}
var df = document.createDocumentFragment();
(items.length ? items : [{ Title: emptyListTitle }]).forEach(function (item) {
var li = document.createElement("li"),
a = document.createElement("a");
if (item.Url) {
a.href = item.Url;
} else {
a.classList.add("empty-link-item");
}
a.innerHTML = item.Title;
li.appendChild(a);
df.appendChild(li);
});
menuItemEl.textContent = "";
menuItemEl.appendChild(df);
}
function ajax(options) {
var url = options.url,
method = options.method,
successCallback = options.successCallback,
failureCallback = options.failureCallback,
xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open(method, url);
xhr.onload = function () {
if (xhr.status === 200 && successCallback) {
var response = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);
successCallback(response);
} else if (failureCallback) {
failureCallback();
}
};
xhr.send();
}
})();
</script>

I don't think there is an easy CSS way to solve this. The only option I can think about is to align it to the left if the space is not enough. You can use the document.querySelector("#sub-menu").getBoundingClientRect() function to get the position of the element.
{
"x": 1261.5,
"y": -309,
"width": 298,
"height": 452,
"top": -309,
"right": 1559.5,
"bottom": 143,
"left": 1261.5
}
Then you can check if the sub-menu would overflow out of the page and assign a class that makes it align to the left instead of the right.
const subMenuBound = document.querySelector("#sub-menu").getBoundingClientRect();
const windowWidth = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].clientWidth;
const subMenuX = subMenuBound.x;
const subMenuWidth = subMenuBound.width;
if (subMenuBound.width + subMenuBound.x > windowWidth) {
// assign a class to the sub-menu to
// align to the left instead of right
} else {
// remove the class
}

jQuery submenu not displaying correctly

Here is my code here first menu working properly but when applied sub sub menu it's conflicting with previous li. You can check there is a list under food report . when clicking that child is not displaying.
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".menu_li").click(function() {
if ($(this).hasClass('selected')) {
$(this).removeClass('selected');
$('.child_ul').hide('slow');
$(this).children().children('.plus').show();
$(this).children().children('.minus').hide();
} else {

$('.child_ul').hide('slow');
$(this).addClass('selected');
$('.plus').show();
$('.minus').hide();
$(this).children('.child_ul').show('slow');
$(this).children().children('.plus').hide();
$(this).children().children('.minus').show();
}
});

Thanks Tushar your comment helped me. I solved my problem I placed event.stopPropagation(); for my sub sub menu section then it worked properly. So I placed my own answer with snippet if it helped others.
$(".menu_li").click(function(event){
//$('.child_ul').hide('slow');
//$(this).children('.child_ul').toggle('slow');
if ($(this).hasClass('selected'))
{
$(this).removeClass('selected');
$('.child_ul').hide('slow');
$(this).children().children('.plus').show();
$(this).children().children('.minus').hide();
}else {
$(".menu_li").removeClass('selected');
$('.child_ul').hide('slow');
$(this).addClass('selected');
$('.plus').show();
$('.minus').hide();
$(this).children('.child_ul').show('slow');
$(this).children().children('.plus').hide();
$(this).children().children('.minus').show();
}
});
$(".menu_li1").click(function(event){
//event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
console.log('brick me!');
//$('.child_ul').hide('slow');
//$(this).children('.child_ul').toggle('slow');
if ($(this).hasClass('selected'))
{
$(this).removeClass('selected');
$('.child_ul1').hide('slow');
$(this).children('.child_ul1').children('.plus1').show();
$(this).children('.child_ul1').children('.minus1').hide();

If event.stopPropogation() doesn't work alone across different browsers try using event.preventDefault() along with event.stopPropogation().

fixing submenu to top of nav

I have created a dropdown navigation with two sub-menu's.
I am trying to get the second sub-menu to start from the top (just underneath the primary nav/black bar) and not at it's current position but I am not sure how to do this.
Here is a codepen I made http://codepen.io/anon/pen/ByaaYM
So for example, if you hover over Personal > Caravan or Personal > Home & Property, the top of the sub menu should sit in the same place, just underneath the black bar.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
This is the outcome I would like to achieve http://codepen.io/anon/pen/OPJPNL - Notice when hovered, the sub-menu's sit flush directly underneath the black bar.
The code...

If I understand correctly, you have a padding-problem. If you remove the padding from this:
ul ul ul {
position: absolute; left: 100%; top:-100%;
width: 230px;
padding: 10px;
}
Here's the updated CodePen

how to implement css horizontal menu with variable width submenus

I have a menu I would like to implement. It can sometimes drill down 3 or 4 layers so I'm trying to optimize space taken up by each menu. I'd like to have each ul set to width: auto, the only problem is I can't set the right/left property reliably for where the next submenu should appear. Here's some code:

display: block;

opacity: 1;
}
/* Menu Link Styles */
.top-level-menu a /* Apply to all links inside the multi-level menu */
{
font: bold 14px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration: none;
/*padding: 0 0 0 10px;*/
margin: 0 auto;
/* Make the link cover the entire list item-container */
display: inline;
line-height: 30px;
}
.top-level-menu a:hover { color: #000000; }
.top-level-menu li{whitespace: no-wrap;}
This should work, but all the .subsecond-level-menu's are required to be x px wide so I know where to put them.
Do you think it would be better to assign id's to each submenu and then just assign static widths/right's to each or try to make it happen with some javascript?
I've been wrestling with the js attempt for a while, but it doesn't quite seem to the submenu widths. Here's that code that I've been working on if you're curious:
JS
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.top-level-menu').find('li').hover(
function(e){
$(e.target).css('background-color', 'red');
var item = $(this);
console.log('The child list is considered hidden: ' + $(e.target).children('ul').is(':hidden') + ', Child width: '+$(e.target).children('ul').outerWidth() + 'px');
$(e.target).children('ul').css({
'right': (-1 * $(e.target).children('ul').outerWidth()) + 'px',
'opacity': '1',
'display': 'block'
});
},
function(e){
$(e.target).css('background-color', '');
var item = $(this),
emptyCss = {
'right' : '',
'opacity' : '',
'display': ''};
item.children('ul').css(emptyCss);
}
);
});
