<ul> display inline-block not working

My jsFiddle is here : https://jsfiddle.net/r1s6651y/1/
I am not able to get Navigation with Numerals to be aligned horizontally.
I have applied display : inline-block for upper ul but still the next menu item begins on the second line.
Any clues ?
It should be stacked as :
1111111 22222222
AAAAAAAAAAAAA
BBBBBBBBBBBBB

You can't have li with width: 100%; and then expect them to align next to eachother. Ofcourse they naturally fall to 2 lines instead of 1, they're inline elements after all (Think of it like this: the <p> tag is also "inline" bu default. When the text in a <p> is too long, the text "breaks" to a new line. As will your li when it is set to be inline). You also want the li to next to eachother, not the ul which is what contains the li. So apply the display: inline-block; to the (correct) li elements
ul#myRow li {
width: auto; //could also be set to 50% if it's just 2 li elements
display: inline-block;
}

Two things. As already noted, you want the li items to be display:inline. You also need to remove the width:100% from the lis of #myRow. Then it will collapse and display inline as long as the container is wide enough for them (otherwise it will wrap).
li {
background: #00945f;
border-bottom: 1px solid #016e39;
clear: both;
float: none;
height: 62px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0 30px 30px;
width: 100%;
}
ul {
list-style-type: none;
}
ul#myRow li {
display:inline-block;
width: auto;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<section>
<ul id="myRow" class="row">
<li>
11111111
</li>
<li>
2222222
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="row">
<li>
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAa
</li>
<li>
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
</li>
</ul>
</section>

Man, you do some mistakes.
I fixed it at: https://jsfiddle.net/r1s6651y/4/
li {
display: inline-block;
background: #00945f;
border-bottom: 1px solid #016e39;
margin: 0;
padding: 10px 20px;
}

put a class on the li you want horizontal, then add css display: inline
.horiz {
display: inline;
}
<section>
<ul id="myRow" class="row">
<li class="horiz">
11111111
</li>
<li class="horiz">
2222222
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="row">
<li>
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAa
</li>
<li>
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
</li>
</ul>

How to make CSS drop down menu appear/change on click

I have a web page, 1000px by 1000px for the main div. Inside the main div, at the top, there is a horizontal bar with four sections, each taking up 1/4 of the space. Each section has some text [wrapped in h2 tag], horizontally/vertically centered in the middle of the 1/4 section and each section must generate a drop-down menu.
For the drop down menu [which must work both on mobile and desktop], I borrowed the idea of using a checkbox [check for make dropdown visible, uncheck for invisible], but it isn't working correctly. The checkbox is small and if it is invisible it is almost impossible to know where to click to check/uncheck. I want the drop down menu to appear if the user clicks/taps ANYWHERE in the 1/4 section area.
The horizontal row of 1/4 section drop down menus looks like this:
^ Note that they don't actually work.
HTML Code:
<div id="Media_Choices">
<div id="Video" class="media_choice"> <h2>Video▼</h2> </div>
<div id="Pictures" class="media_choice"> <h2>Pictures▼</h2> </div>
<div id="Audio" class="media_choice"> <h2>Audio▼</h2> </div>
<div id="Stories" class="media_choice"> <h2>Stories▼</h2> </div>
</div>
CSS:
#Media_Choices {
width: 100%;
max-height:40px;
min-height:40px;
}
.media_choice {
display: inline;
float: left;
width: 24.5%;
max-height: 38px;
min-height: 38px;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
line-height: 38px; /* the same as your div height */
}
#Video {
}
#Pictures {
}
#Audio {
}
#Stories {
}
Extra credit if you can get the ▼ downward facing arrow to turn into a ▲ whenever the drop down menu is down and then revert back into a ▼ downward facing arrow whenever the menu is up. You don't need to use the check-box based technique [I know there is a hover option], but anything that works cross platform is good.
For reference, check boxes were origionally implemented using the following code [taken from another question], but copy-pasting in this solution and changing the text inside the box isn't good enough:
<input class="dropdowninput" type="checkbox" id="dropdownbox1"/>
<div class="dropdownbox">
<label for="dropdownbox1">Open dropdown</label>
<ul class="dropdown">
<li>...</li><li>etc</li>
</ul>
</div>
with CSS:
.dropdowninput, .dropdown {display:none;}
.dropdowninput:checked + .dropdownbox .dropdown {display:block;}

If i understand you correctly you want to create a responsive dropdown menu and you want the arrows to change when the menu appear/disappear, if this is the case a one way to do it would be to attach event listeners to the menu items that would show/hide the submenus on click, using css and javascript you can do the following:
.media_choice > h2:after {
display: inline-block;
content: '▼';
}
.media_choice.dropped > h2:after {
content: '▲';
}
.media_choice > ul {
display: none;
}
.media_choice.dropped > ul {
display: block;
}
And with javascript add the event listeners:
$(document).ready (function()
{
$('.media_choice').on ('click', function()
{
$(this).toggleClass ('dropped');
});
});

Here it is using checkboxes and no JS.

}
nav li {
padding: 0;

AngularJS top menu submenu dropdowns on hover (persist showing whilst moving to submenu)

I have a top menu with various links. On hover, each should show a dropdown with additional menu items. I have tried attached onmouseover and onmouseleave events to the menu item to hide/show the sub menu; however, when transitioning off of the menu item and into the sub menu, the onmouseleave fires and hides the sub menu and the user doesn't have a chance to actually interact with the sub menu.
<nav>
<div class="container-fluid">
<ul class="">
<li>
<a ui-sref="home.person" ng-init="showPersonSubMenu=false" ng-mouseenter="showPersonSubMenu=true" ng-mouseleave="showPersonSubMenu=false">People</a>
<ul class="person-sub-menu" ng-show="showPersonSubMenu">
<li>Add Person</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a ui-sref="home.company">Companies</a></li>
<li><a ui-sref="home.job">Jobs</a></li>
<li><a ui-sref="home.report">Reports</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
How can I show the sub menu on hover, and hide it on leaving... whilst still allowing the user to actually access the sub menu so it doesn't hide before they can interact with it.

You were on the right track.
Make sure there is no space between your menu item and your absolute sub-menu. To ensure that there is no space, make the menu item bigger (using height or line-height), or add a padding to it...
Here's a working example:
http://codepen.io/jlowcs/pen/QwJwJZ
HTML:
<ul class="menu">
<li>
<a>People</a>
<ul class="sub-menu">
<li>Add Person</li>
<li>Action 2</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a ui-sref="home.company">Companies</a></li>
</ul>
CSS:
ul, li {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.menu {
background: lightblue;
height: 30px;
padding: 0 10px;
}
.menu > li {
display: inline-block;
width: 100px;
line-height: 30px;
}
.sub-menu {
position: absolute;
display: none;
background-color: lightgreen;
padding: 5px;
}
.sub-menu > li {
display: block;
cursor: pointer;
}
li:hover .sub-menu {
display: block;
}
EDIT: if you want your submenu to float lightly lower, here's a way of doing that:
http://codepen.io/jlowcs/pen/dPQPxW
Just add the following CSS:
.sub-menu {
margin-top: 10px;
}
.menu > li:hover {
padding-bottom: 10px;
}

different height to li tag

i want to Design Menu bar as shown below, i have created whole list in ul but how to set different height ,width for center .Please help i tried code below but middle part is not increasing,
<nav id="Edit_panel">
<ul>
<li class="menubar" title="redo">
<div id="link">redo</div>
</li>
<li class="menubar" title="undo">
<div id="link">undo</div>
</li>
<li class="menubar" title="cut">
<div id="link">Cut</div>
</li>
<li class="menubar" title="copy">
<div id="link">Copy</div>
</li>
<li class="menubar" title="paste">
<div id="link">paste</div>
</li>
<li class="menubar" title="select">
<div id="link">select</div>
</li>
<li class="menubar" title="hand">
<div id="link">hand</div>
</li>
<li class="menubar" title="zoomin">
<div id="link">zoomin</div>
</li>
<li class="menubar" title="zoomout">
<div id="link">zoomout</div>
</li>
<li class="menubar" title="addimage">
<div id="link">Add img</div>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
css:
#Edit_panel {
background-color: gray;
height:25px;
display: inline;
}
ul
{
background-color: #D8D8D8;
height:30px;
}
li {
display: inline-block;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-left: 10px;
text-align: center
}

Just add another class to elements You want to increase and set diferent height.
And remove duplicated ids.

First of all, you cannot have multiple elements with the same id, so you should change all
id = "link"
to
class = "link"
or delete those id's
Another mistake is putting height to the ul in css. The 30px height of ul means, that you want the whole list to be 30px high. You want to define the height for li elements, not the whole ul.
Instead of:
ul
{
background-color: #D8D8D8;
height:30px;
}
li {
display: inline-block;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-left: 10px;
text-align: center
}
Should be:
ul
{
background-color: #D8D8D8;
}
li {
height:30px;
display: inline-block;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-left: 10px;
text-align: center
}
If you want some elements to have different height or width, you can add some class to them, and define height for the class, for example:
<li class="menubar higher" title="paste">
<div id="link">paste</div>
</li>
And then in CSS you add:
.higher {
height: 50px;
}
Then your elements will be 30px high, and elements witch also have "higher" class, will he higher than others;]

you can give different heights to your elements by jquery. Use this demo for it.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<style>
.test
{
height:25px;
}
</style>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(e) {
$("li").eq(5).addClass("test"); // In 'eq' 5 is a index of li element and it starts from 0 to n-1
});
</script>

Button disappearing, overflow needs to kick in at max-width

So basically, I have a tab bar where you have an add button to clone tabs and later edit them. My problem is that once so many tabs are added, my (left and right arrows) and my add button are removed. How can I add tabs, but keep my buttons from disappearing? Fixed position is not an option, I want the buttons next to the newest tab, and once the bar reaches a max-width, the buttons stay there. the arrows are to scroll through the tabs to see one's that will be hidden on overflow. http://jsfiddle.net/pHraC/1/
html
<div class="tabBox" style='max-width:800px'>
<ul class="tabs">
<li class="selected">Certificate of Quantity</li>
<li>COQ - Products/Chemicals</li>
<li>Movement Summary</li>
<li>Barge Survey</li>
<ul class="tabButtons">
<li><-</li>
<li>-></li>
<li><div class="tabNavAdd" title="Add another report form to nomination" style="margin-top:6px">
<input type='button' value='add' class='addTab' /></div></li>
</ul>
</ul>
</div>
jquery
// add new tab
$("input.addTab").live("click", function (event) {
var ultab = $(this).closest('.tabs'); // cache ul.tabs
var li = ultab.children('li:not(.selected)').first(); // cache the row
ultab.children('li:last').after(li.clone().find('a').attr("href", "#").text('New Tab').end());
});

First of all, I would suggest you seperate the .tabButtons form the .tabs
<div class="tabBox" style='max-width:800px'>
<ul class="tabs">
<li class="selected">Certificate of Quantity
</li>
<li>COQ - Products/Chemicals
</li>
<li>Movement Summary
</li>
<li>Barge Survey
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="tabButtons">
<li> <-
</li>
<li>->
</li>
<li>
<div class="tabNavAdd" title="Add another report form to nomination" style="margin-top:6px">
<input type='button' value='add' class='addTab' />
</div>
</li>
</ul>
then, use position:absolute to put them where you like:
.tabBox { position:relative;
display: inline-block;
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
padding: 0 50px 0 0;}
.tabButtons {
position:absolute;
top:0px;
right:10px;
z-index:2;
}
You'll also have to define a position other than static to .tabBox for this to work and add some padding for the add button.
Finally, style the .tabs li like this:
.tabBox .tabs li {
display: inline-block;
list-style: none;
margin: 9px 0 0 0;
padding: 3px 1px 0;
height: 36px;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
}
and add white-space:nowrap; and display:inline-block; to the .tabBox .tabs
here's the result: http://jsfiddle.net/pavloschris/pHraC/4/

most simple way is to offset the top level <ul> with a padding and put the buttons as position absolute.
Here's a quick demo.
http://jsfiddle.net/ionko22/vURkK/
Oh and probably it's better to put your child <ul> within an <li>.
