I'm trying to open a submenu from the parent link using the mmenu jquery plugin, and almost got it, but once open the submenu, the function also close the menu (the main menu opened from the left).
I got this:
<nav data-role="navbar" data-iconpos="left" id="leftMenu">
<ul>
<li><a id="a_home" href="/" >Home</a></li>
<li><a id="a_what" href="/" >What to do</a></li>
<li>
<a id="a_guides" href="#guidesSubmenu" onclick="$('#leftMenu ul#guidesSubmenu').trigger( 'open.mm' );" >Guides</a>
<ul id="guidesSubmenu">
<li>Beer Guide 2013</li>
<li>Bar Guide 2013</li>
<li>Cheap Eats 2013</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<a id="a_sections" href="#" >Sections</a>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
So, when I click on the Guides link, opens the submenu, but also close the main menu, animating to the right.
Anybody knows how is the right way to open a submenu?
This is the plugin page: http://mmenu.frebsite.nl/
Is not a simple jquery javascript.
Thanks.
The jquery.mmenu plugin automatically appends a "open-submenu"-button to every LI with an UL inside it. If the A doesn't link to an actuall page, all you need to do, is replace it with a SPAN:
<ul>
<li><span>Guides</span>
<ul>
<li>Beer Guide 2013</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
$('li').hover(function(){
$('ul',this).slideDown();
},function(){
$('ul',this).slideUp();
});
Just change the selector with your own li tags class name.I think you can also toggle method.
$('#li').toggle(function() {
$('ul',this).slideDown();
}, function() {
$('ul',this).slideUp();
});
We ran into this exact same scenario today, and after a good amount of research used the following solution (adapted to your situation). It seems like they've changed things around so the data attributes on the elements are not clearly supported, so we moved the initialization to JavaScript.
HTML (did not change):
<nav data-role="navbar" data-iconpos="left" id="leftMenu">
<ul>
<li><a id="a_home" href="/" >Home</a></li>
<li><a id="a_what" href="/" >What to do</a></li>
<li>
<a id="a_guides" href="#guidesSubmenu" onclick="$('#leftMenu ul#guidesSubmenu').trigger( 'open.mm' );" >Guides</a>
<ul id="guidesSubmenu">
<li>Beer Guide 2013</li>
<li>Bar Guide 2013</li>
<li>Cheap Eats 2013</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<a id="a_sections" href="#" >Sections</a>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
JavaScript:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#leftMenu").mmenu({
onClick: {
close: false
}
});
});
</script>
Specifying the close option as false makes it so it does not close the mmenu when you click on the li, and allows the onclick event handler to open up the sub-menu item.

I'm working on a project that requires 2 distinct menus, one on top, and one on the left of the page:
<div class="navigation">
<ul class="navigation">
<li>FILM </li>
<li>PHOTOGRAPHY </li>
<li>OTHER WORKS </li>
<li>INFO/INQUIRE </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="navigationLeft">
<ul class="navigationLeft">
<li><a href='../item1/index.html'><span>item 1</span></a></li>
<li><a href='../item2/index.html'><span>item 2</span></a></li>
<li><a href='../item3/index.html'><span>item 3</span></a></li>
<li><a href='../item4/index.html'><span>item 4</span></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
The left one is basically a sort of sub-menu of a section in the top menu. Originally, the project was meant to be small, so I used straight CSS to highlight selected sections using class, but the website has grown so much now that I want to use templating for future updates. That means that straight CSS is now out. I've implemented the following script in my header:
<script type="text/javascript" >
$(function() {
$(".navigationLeft a").each(function() {
if (this.href == window.location) {
$(this).css("color", "#ff9900");
};
});
});
</script>
It's working for my left menu, but obviously wouldn't work for my top menu, because technically the section that I'm in isn't the "current page". I'm looking for a way using jQuery/js to parse through the url and have the highlighting applied to any link that is once up the tree. So basically, in my top menu, any <a href> that contained for example /photography/ would also be highlighted, even though it's not technically the current page. Many thanks in advance!
I added a dropdown list to the navbar on another site and added the class .open to the list. My intention is as follows: upon load the webpage navbar list contains an img element and opens displaying a promotional offer. So far so good, the page loads and the list drops displaying the ad, and if clicked it then closes.
Ok what I am aiming for is adding a function via jquery or JavaScript or css which will automatically CLOSE the dropdown list after about 5 seconds. I have read that the .open class in bootstraps.min.css is not cleared by default and therefore will remain open unless it is 'clicked' to close it.
<div class="navbar-responsive">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="active">
<li class="open dropdown-menu">
<a href="#" Id="test" class="dropdown-toggle" data- toggle="dropdown"><strong class="caret">
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>
Click to close.
</li>
<li>
<img src="image folder/my_ad_image.png"
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</li>
</ul>
</div><!---end nav collapse--->
</div><!---end container--->
</div>>!---end main navbar--->
This above is what I have written. It rests atop an already existing navbar.
Thanks for reading.
If anyone has any suggestion or could point me in the right direction with respect to tying a jquery timeout function to my .open class or id that would be great. So far I have been unable to tie a jquery function or css to my dropdown list
Thanks.
You can use setTimeout() to implement timers in javascript.
The setTimeout() method calls a function or evaluates an expression
after a specified number of milliseconds.
Adapting your code it can be implemented like this:
CSS:
...
<li id="myid" class="open dropdown-menu">
<strong class="caret"></strong>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>
Click to close.
</li>
<li> ... </li>
</ul>
</li>
...
jScript (assuming you're using jQuery):
$(function() {
setTimeout(function() {
$("#myid").removeClass("open")
}, 5000);
});
I've been trying to make a responsive website, most of it is sorted but I'm having difficulty with making the menu button (that shows up on devices specified by the media query) show and hide the navigation bar.
After researching it seems the only method is via JS, is this correct?
Anyway, I'm pretty awful when it comes to JS but I put it as I believed it would work. Here is the snippet of code. So the idea is, when ".menu-icon" is clicked the menu will drop down (or in this case fade in) and revert to hidden upon a second click etc.
http://jsfiddle.net/af57r1to/
<div id="logo">
<a href="#">
<img class="logo" src="images/logo.png" alt="Logo" style="width:200px;height:100px" />
</a>
<a class="menu-icon" href="#menu"></a>
<br></br>
</div>
<div class="navbar">
<ul class="navbar cf">
<li>HOME
</li>
<li>SECTIONS
<ul>
<li>RETAIL
</li>
<li>HOTEL
</li>
<li>RESTAURANT
</li>
<li>SHOPPING
</li>
</ul>
<li>HOW IT WORKS
</li>
<li>OUR EXPERIENCE
</li>
<li>TESTIMONIALS
</li>
<li>NEWS
</li>
<li>CONTACT US
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<br />
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.menu-icon').click(function () {
$('.navbar').fadeToggle();
});
});
As this is at the moment, it seems to fade the navigation in for approximately 0.3seconds and then disappears. Not giving the user much time to choose an option from the drop down! aha.
I know it will be something obvious I've missed. Any help regarding it would be grateful.
Removing the class navbar from navbar cf solves the toggle issue, but screws up the styling. So, give an id to your navbar and toggle on that.
<div class="navbar" id='navbarID'>
<ul class="navbar cf">
<li>HOME
and
$('.menu-icon').click(function () {
$('#navbarID').fadeToggle();
});
Here is the fiddle
You have some errors in both HTML & JS.
First: You opened the inner <ul> element in a <li> element but closed it outside of the li element. The structure is wrong. It must closed inside the <li> element where it opened.
Second: The $(document).ready() function is not closed properly:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.menu-icon').click(function () {
$('.navbar').fadeToggle();
});
});
Below is how I created a menu links of my website using Bootstrap 3.1.0. I want the selected nag-pill to stay active/select while the link is clicked. Currently, the defined hover-colour is gone after the link is clicked. Is there a way to let the pill stay active after clicking?
<ul id="menu_area" class="nav nav-pills nav-justified custom">
<li>one</li>
<li><a id="menu_text">two</a></li>
<li><a id="menu_text">three</a></li>
</ul>
===Update===
I'm just new to JS and web development. The code that I'm trying to follow Twitter Bootstrap tutorial is here: http://jsfiddle.net/Dy9e6/
I just want the clicked nag-pill to show as 'selected' or 'highlighted' after user click on one of the pill/tab.
First you need to add default class="active" to the first element.
Second you need to add data-toggle="tab" to the <a /> element. See the docs
Your code becomes:
<ul id="menu_area" class="nav nav-pills nav-justified custom">
<li class="active">one</li>
<li>two</li>
<li>three</li>
</ul>

Thanks in Advance.
I have a demo for you here: http://jsfiddle.net/ttaN2/4/
I have altered the HTML so that there are correct open and close tags:
<div id="cssmenu">
<ul id="myid">
<li id="m1">COMPANY</li>
<li id="m2" class="has-sub">SERVICES</li>
<li class="has-sub">Enterprise Solution
<ul>
<li>SAP</li>
<li>Oracle</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
I believe this is what you intended. I am not sure what you intended to happen when you click on another sub menu though. I'll try to help you out if you can describe exactly what you intend to happen.
