I created a nice little menu with mouseovers and a drop down menu.
The navigation code is simple:
<ul class="menu" id="menu">
<li>Home</li>
<li>About
<ul>
<li>Our History</li>
<li>Our Process</li>
<li>Portfolio</li>
<li>Financing</li>
<li>Testimonials</li>
<li>Subcontractors</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Portfolio</li>
<li>Maintenance</li>
<li>Testimonials</li>
<li>Contact Us</li>
</ul>
In isolation it works as it should: http://www.rouviere.com/nav/
However, when I put it in place: http://www.rouviere.com/jr/ the drop down menu under About stays hidden.
I would appreciate a helping hand here to figure out why the drop down menu doesn't show.
Thanks.
In the line p=h.getElementsByTagName('a')[0] you are referring to the About link by index. This works on your test page, but your real page has a new anchor tag on the main logo, which comes before the About link in the HTML. You should give your About link an id attribute and refer to it in your JavaScript.

This is a page I'm working on currently: http://s.codepen.io/moletek/debug/QNeaXq And basically I think the sub-menu breaks when you open and close the parent item. The background will disappear, like it's closing both elements.
I've done some custom stuff, so you can view the src, but here is my standard html:
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="stcs-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="first active"><a href="welcome" title="welcome" >Welcome</a></li>
<li class="dropdown">About
<ul class="dropdown-menu"><li class="first"><a href="about/our-vision" title="Our Vision" >Our Vision</a></li>
<li><a href="about/our-team" title="Our Team" >Our Team</a></li>
<li><a href="about/church-plants" title="" >Plants</a></li>
<li class="last">Contact Us</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div> <!-- A summary of the menu structure with submenu
You can reproduce this in the codepen mentioned above. Or view the GIF below So basically whenever you tap the dropdown parent, it will appear fine. But if you tap the parent again, the entire background will disappear when the child items do.
I'm quite baffled! I appreciate any help.
Thanks!
I'm creating a website for a project and i'm not allowed to use frameworks (so no bootstrap but jquery is allowed.), earlier i had a problem where the navigation bar when collapsed (screen width under 800px) has all the individual links expanded, rather than being in individual categories.
I've now fixed that but i've now got this problem where the menu's wont stay open / the arrows when clicked just take you to the subcategories heading. This makes the site unusable for mobiles essentially as no one will think to long click a tab to open each one.
I've uploaded this website to
here
The Html nav bar
<nav role="navigation" id="cssmenu">
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li class="has-sub">Courses
<ul>
<li>Digital Media</li>
<li>Web Development</li>
<li>Journalism</li>
<li class="last">Information & Communications</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="has-sub">Facilities
<ul>
<li>Societies</li>
<li>Jobs and Placements</li>
<li class="last">Library</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="has-sub active">Manchester & Student Life
<ul>
<li>Travel</li>
<li>Attractions</li>
<li class="last">Nightlife</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="has-sub">Student Help
<ul>
<li>Finance</li>
<li>Student Union</li>
<li class="last">Assistance</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="last">Contact</li>
</ul>
</nav>
The Jquery script
( function( $ ) {
$( document ).ready(function() {
// Cache the elements we'll need
var menu = $('#cssmenu');
var menuList = menu.find('ul:first');
var listItems = menu.find('li').not('#responsive-tab');
// Create responsive trigger
menuList.prepend('<li id="responsive-tab">Digi-Co</li>');
// Toggle menu visibility
menu.on('click', '#responsive-tab', function(){
listItems.slideToggle('fast');
listItems.addClass('collapsed');
});
});
} )( jQuery );
The css can also be found
here
Any help will be appreciated
Thank you.
i am using bootstrap sticky menu , now for dropdown when I hover over parent menu sub menu is displayed but parent menu is not highlighted as I go one level down .
here you can see washing and cleaning comes under services .
What I want is the menu services should be highlighted as washing is at the moment this is my html structure
<div class="nav-collapse collapse navbar-responsive-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav pull-right">
<li class="active">Home</li>
<li>About us</li>
<li>About us</li>
<li class="dropdown">
Services
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>Cleaning </li>
<li>Washing</li>
</ul><!-- end dropdown-menu -->
</li>
</ul>

You probably missing the :focus on your menu link. This keeps your link highlighted when your in a subnav.
So what I should try in your CSS:
.dropdown-toggle:focus{
color: red;
}
I am trying to create a multi level drodown menu with the following code:
<nav role="navigation" class="navigation">
<ul>
<li>Home
</li>
<li>About
<ul>
<li>Company
<ul>
<li>Brands</li>
<li>Stuff</li>
<li>More Stuff</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Team
</li>
<li>Goals
</li>
<li>Photos
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Portfolio
<ul>
<li>Chairs
</li>
<li>Beds
</li>
<li>Fireplace
</li>
<li>Onother
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Portfolio
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
With some jQuery I have hidden all the second/third level items and added a class that will show a "+" in the right side via CSS.

This works fine for most users, but when I try to use this with VoiceOver on Mac I just can't simply find a way to navigate. Maybe because I don't know all the things about VoiceOver or I am doing something wrong with HTML and JS
Is there something missing from my code that could improve accessibility for blind people using screen readers. What should I do more and why for this particular example.
Any up to date tools or documentation that will put me up to speed about accessibility. I think that the W3C accessibility website is too cluttered and confusing. I read some things about Aria too, but the documentation is really complicated and some people say that using proper markup is good enough.
Please try to answer for this example
UPDATE
I added visibility hidden to the hidden ul's as the screen reader does not speak invisible elements and I will still be able to use CSS3 for the height transition

I'm having a little issue with this accordion script.
And I know why it's happening but I can't fix it. And I'm not sure it's possible to fixed it?
The accordion script i'm using is this and it's very easy to implement. http://www.i-marco.nl/weblog/jquery-accordion-menu/
The mark-up for this accordion is simple and semantic.
<ul class="menu">
<li>
Link
<ul class="acitem">
<li>PivotX</li>
<li>WordPress</li>
<li>four</li>
<li>Textpattern</li>
<li>Typo</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Weblog Tools
<ul class="acitem">
<li>PivotX</li>
<li>WordPress</li>
<li>four</li>
<li>Textpattern</li>
<li>Typo</li>
</ul>
</li>
<!-- and so fourth -->
</ul>
This is the style of the markup that the script if designed to work with. And it works, see here... http://jsfiddle.net/motocomdigital/CzZqZ/1/
But my problem is because I'm working with a template that I can't change the mark-up of, see my outputted markup below.
<ul class="menu">
<ul>
<li>
Link
<ul class="acitem">
<li>PivotX</li>
<li>WordPress</li>
<li>four</li>
<li>Textpattern</li>
<li>Typo</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
Weblog Tools
<ul class="acitem">
<li>PivotX</li>
<li>WordPress</li>
<li>four</li>
<li>Textpattern</li>
<li>Typo</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</ul>
This the mark up that is outputted which is stupid.
Its outputting more than it needs to.
I've created a js fiddle for the markup above so you can see what is happening http://jsfiddle.net/motocomdigital/CzZqZ/2/
It's not closing the others when a new one is opening...
Does anyone know how to fix the script so it work like the first jsfiddle, but with the crazy markup above?
Thanks very very much if anyone can help.

Inside the click handler, change to: var parent = this.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode;. With this it works as the other example you posted.
Add the class 'noaccordian" to your "ul" elements that you want to expand/collaspse on.
Example:
<ul class="menu">
<ul class="noaccordion">
<li>
Click Here
<ul class="acitem">
