Please can someone tell me how to put a input text box in a dropdown just as this :-
this pic was using bootstrap. I dont want bootstrap just want to use html/css and javascript maybe? pleas ehelp me i stuck on this quite long.
Code: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/OyQYmN
HTML tags can be nested in eachother. Given this, you can change the dropdown's HTML:
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>An option</li>
<li>Another option</li>
<li>Something else here</li>
</ul>
to include the <input type="text">.
To do this without bootstrap you will have to make your own CSS that will treat a list as a drop-down.
-one way to do this is explained here http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Create-Custom-CSS3-Dropdown-Menus-CSS-Drop/?ALLSTEPS
now that you have a list that is treated like a drop down, you can add any element you want in it.
I created a demo that uses pure CSS3 as a dropdown menu and added an input for you. Here is the code to accomplish this, demo is at the bottom.
/* Set Dropdown Display to None*/
nav ul ul {
display: none;
}
/* Display Dropdown on hover*/
nav ul li:hover > ul {
display: block;
}
ul li{
display: inline-block;
}
ul li a {
padding: 20px;
}
ul li a:hover{
text-decoration: none;
}
nav ul ul {
background: #222222;
border-radius: 0px;
position: absolute;
}
nav ul ul li{
padding: 15px 0;
}
nav ul ul li a{
color: #fff;
opacity: .5;
}
nav ul ul li a:hover{
color: #fff;
opacity: 1;
}

We have the following html structure for our menu (see codepin). We would like to modify the menu without having to use JS on page load to move any elements around.
Here is what I tried, but cannot get the custom-dropdown to show like the screenshot below.
Here is my codepin that I have so far, but we are having hard time getting it to align in two columns like the screenshot. The goals below have been simplified, but should be applicable to other links like Category and Company as well since they follow similar structure.
Goal (see screenshot):
On hover of Testing 1, Collaboratively testing 1 and transition accurate should display
On hover of Collaboratively testing 1 then the Enthusiastically communicate cross-platform and Uniquely reconceptualize accurate should display
Screenshot:
Underline below Testing 1 is to simulate on hover effect
Grey background behind Collaboratively Testing is to indicate on hover effect, which results in goal #2 where they are display to the right.

here comes your html code
<h1>Multi-Level Drop Down Menu with Pure CSS</h1>
<ul class="main-navigation">
<li>Home</li>
<li>Front End Design
<ul>
<li>HTML</li>
<li>CSS
<ul>
<li>Resets</li>
<li>Grids</li>
<li>Frameworks</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>JavaScript
<ul>
<li>Ajax</li>
<li>jQuery</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

</ul>
I have this:
<section class="header">
<div class="holder">
<span class="name">Joe Doe</span>
<nav class="">
<ul class="">
<li>Do Something</li>
<li>Do Something Else</li>
<li>Who knows</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
</section>
My script to target that and add class.
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".header nav ul li a").click(function(e){
$(this).addClass('active');
});
)};
Update Css:
.header nav ul li a{
font-size: 15px;
text-transform: uppercase;
color: #959393;
text-decoration: none;
}
.header nav ul li a:hover{
color: #fff;
}
.active{
color: red;
}
The problem:
When I click on the link, it does get the red color, but it instantly change back to the original color and the link still with the class, maybe because the page is reloading or something ?.
I can't use preventDefault() because I need those links to behave as links.
If it gets red when you add !important, your problem can be fixed when you understand css specificity
Check the image below.
a is less specific. #whatever #whatever is more specific and wins.
You can do this with straight-up CSS - no js/jQuery needed. Also, as long as you follow the same specificity, there's no need to append your CSS with !important.
.header nav ul li a{
font-size: 15px;
text-transform: uppercase;
color: #959393;
text-decoration: none;
}
.header nav ul li a:hover{
color: #fff;
}
.header nav ul li a:visited{
color: red;
}
.header nav ul li a:active{
color: red;
}
If the page is reloading, your page is losing the state and the class added by the click will be lost.
To get around that, you have to maintain the state of the page somehow.
One way would be to use sessionStorage and you will need ids for these links.
$(document).ready(function(){
//reapply current active link (if found)
if (!!sessionStorage.activeLink) {
$("#" + sessionStorage.activeLink).addClass('active');
}
$(".header nav ul li a").click(function(e){
//keep track of which link was clicked.
sessionStorage.activeLink = $(this).prop("id");
$(this).addClass('active');
});
)};
I am trying to get the current menu item highlighted, I searched various sited for a solution but I just can't seem to make it work. I hope you can help me!
I have this now:
<div class="menu">
<ul class="highlight">
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Work</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</div>
.menu a{
background-color: #F2F2F2;
color: black;
font-size: 15px;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 10px 10px;
}
.active {
color: black;
}
.menu li {
display: inline;
opacity: 0.5;
}
.menu li:hover {
opacity: 1;
}
I know I have to add the class .active to the menu only whatever I try .menu li keeps overriding it. I really don't know what to do now.
in jquery
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
// Get current url
// Select an a element that has the matching href and apply a class of 'active'. Also prepend a - to the content of the link
var url = window.location.href;
$('.menu a[href="'+url+'"]').addClass('current_page_item');
});
</script>
you could add an active class via jQuery if you have a menu that changes tabs without redirecting to a new page
jQuery:
$('.menu a').click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
$('.menu a').removeClass('active')
$(this).addClass('active');
});
CSS:
.menu a.active {
color: red;
}
Or you could simply add .active class to the new page link that should be active.
http://jsfiddle.net/1ruy1t2h/3/
You can try 2 things:
1. put css for .active after .mennu li.
2. use !important in .active class. eg. .active {color:black !important;}
This should fix your issue.
If problem persists, create a jsfiddle of the issue and send back link.
The HTML could look like this:
<div class="menu">
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li class="active">About</li>
<li>Work</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</div>
And the CSS could look like this:
.menu li a {
color: black;
font-size: 15px;
font-weight: bold;
}
.menu li.active a {
color: red;
}
.menu li a:hover {
color: blue;
}
This is a fiddle to demonstrate the code: http://jsfiddle.net/e01mvmgz/
I have 7 menus in my code.Sometimes it may be 6 based on the usertype.If admin is entered it will be 7.User may have only 6 menus.
How can resize the menu dynamically.
For that I used the code
<div id="menu">
<ul>
<li>home1</li>
<li>home2</li>
<li>home3</li>
<li>home4</li>
<li>home5</li>
<li>home6</li>
<li>home7</li>
</ul>
</div>
How can I do this with jquery?
EDIT
$(document).ready(function() {
if ( $('#menu ul li').length > 6 ) {
$('#menu ul li').css('width','14.5%');
}
else
{
$('#menu ul li').css('width','16.6%');
}
});
}
});
Assuming that the desired outcome is for the above menu to be rendered in one line, regardless of the exact number of items -
the best way to do this would be with tables, as they have native behavior for this type of thing ( taking up a long line and distributing items evenly over it ). The good thing is that we can easily fake that behavior using
#menu { display: table; width: 100%; }
#menu ul { display: table-row; }
#menu ul li { display: table-cell; }
this will automatically distribute your <li>s over a long line, using the containers width.
You can also see a jsFiddle with an example of the above.
Assuming hexblot's answer isn't what you wanted and you want to distribute LI's of a varying width across the width of a container element, without the LI's necessarily taking up the full-width of your navigation bar then use this:
http://jsfiddle.net/sxGMZ/
#menu ul {
display: block;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
background: brown;
}
#menu ul li {
display: inline-block;
height: 30px;
padding: 10px 12px 0 12px;
background: #ccc;
}
Instead of table cells use display inline-block:
#menu { display: inline-block;background:#000; }
#menu ul { display: inline-block; margin:0;padding: 0; }
#menu ul li { display: inline-block; margin:0; padding: 0;}
#menu ul li a { display: inline-block; padding: 10px; color: #fff;}
#menu ul li a:hover { color: #ff0;}

So, I have DOM that looks like this:
<ul id="nav">
<li><a>Hello</a></li>
<li>
<a>OuterMenu</a>
<ul>
<li><a>InnerMenu1</a>
<ul><li><a>InnerMenu2</a></li><li><a>Item 1</a></li><li><a>Item 2</a></li></ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
which looks like this:
+Hello +OuterMenu
----InnerMenu1--------------InnerMenu2
----Other list item Item 1
Item 2
That is, the first menu is horizontal, the next menu is directly below the first menu, and all subsequent inner menus appear directly to the right [see example here].
This works fine, but I need the hover styles for each outer menu to persist as each inner menu is selected. When the user is hovering over Item 1, Item 1, InnerMenu, and OuterMenu should be highlighted, and when the user moves off of the whole menu tree, then and only then should OuterMenu no longer be highlighted. Is there a better way to do this than trying to manage a hover and mouseout event on every single list item?
I'm looking for a clean implementation here.
Check out Stu Nicholls great css-only work on just this issue.
I don´t know what you have already, but if you use something like:
#nav > li:hover > a {
// outer menu highlight
}
it should highlight the outer menu also when you are on a sub-menu item.
The same technique can be applied to all levels, but it depends on your browser compatibility requirements as li:hover will not work in older IE versions.
For completeness
/* second level */
#nav > li > ul > li:hover > a {
}
/* third level */
#nav > li > ul > li > ul > li:hover > a {
}
Simply using the :hover psuedo-class on your li will apply even when you are over a descendant element. Here's a working example showing that this is true: http://jsfiddle.net/eMyHE/; hover over InnerMenu2 and you'll see InnerMenu1 and OuterMenu highlight.
Also, you might be interested in my 8-years-old CSS-only hierarchical menu tests, part of some ancient code that uses JavaScript for hierarchical menus.
This isn't my work, I'm just passing it on. It looks like it's the same answer as JakeParis's, but in JSFiddle form. http://jsfiddle.net/XPE3w/7/ This is for HTML with a ul>li>a structure (see the link if this doesn't make sense).
