Hey guys can anyone help me I need this dropdown menu in my existing navbar. The dropdown menu should be on the right hand site of the navbar. please!
This is the html body part:
<body>
<ul class="topnav">
<li><a class="active" href="#home">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#news">News</a></li>
<li><a href="#contact">Contact</a></li>
<li><a href="#about">About</a></li>
<li class="dropdown, right">
<a href="javascript:void(0)" class="dropbtn">Dropdown</a>
<div class="dropdown-content">
<a href="#">Link 1</a>
<a href="#">Link 2</a>
<a href="#">Link 3</a>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</body>
and this is my css code:
body {
background-color: #D3D3D3;
}
body {margin: 0;}
ul.topnav {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: #333;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
}
ul.topnav li {float: left;}
ul.topnav li a {
display: block;
color: white;
text-align: center;
padding: 14px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
}
ul.topnav li a:hover:not(.active) {
background-color: #D3D3D3;
color: #000;
}
ul.topnav li a.active {
background-color: #D2691E;
color: white;
}
ul.topnav li.right {float: right;}
@media screen and (max-width: 600px){
ul.topnav,
ul.topnav {position: unset}
ul.topnav li.right,
ul.topnav li {float: none;}
}
Hide the menu, then set it to position: absolute
so that when it's displayed, it won't change the layout of the navbar. Then when you hover .dropdown
, show the menu. Also changed the font color so the links are visible, removed overflow: hidden;
from the navbar so that the menu can overflow outside of the menu and still be visible, and changed the :hover
selector that changes the background color of the links to trigger on hover of the li
instead of the a
so that the dropdown link color stays changed as you interact with the dropdown menu.
body {
background-color: #D3D3D3;
}
body {margin: 0;}
ul.topnav {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background-color: #333;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
}
ul.topnav li {float: left;}
ul.topnav li a {
display: block;
color: white;
text-align: center;
padding: 14px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
}
ul.topnav li:hover a:not(.active) {
background-color: #D3D3D3;
color: #000;
}
ul.topnav li a.active {
background-color: #D2691E;
color: white;
}
ul.topnav li.right {float: right;}
@media screen and (max-width: 600px){
ul.topnav,
ul.topnav {position: unset}
ul.topnav li.right,
ul.topnav li {float: none;}
}
ul.topnav .dropdown-content {
display: none;
position: absolute;
}
ul.topnav .dropdown-content a {
color: black;
}
ul.topnav .dropdown:hover > .dropdown-content {
display: block;
}
<ul class="topnav">
<li><a class="active" href="#home">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#news">News</a></li>
<li><a href="#contact">Contact</a></li>
<li><a href="#about">About</a></li>
<li class="dropdown right">
<a href="javascript:void(0)" class="dropbtn">Dropdown</a>
<div class="dropdown-content">
<a href="#">Link 1</a>
<a href="#">Link 2</a>
<a href="#">Link 3</a>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
Here is an example on how to build a simple drop-down menu.
<!-- HTML -->
<div class="dropdown">
<input class="dropdown-toggle" type="text">
<div class="dropdown-text">Account</div>
<ul class="dropdown-content">
<li><a href="#">Settings</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Projects</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Log out</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<!-- CSS -->
a {
text-decoration: none;
}
.dropdown {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
text-align: left;
width: 132px;
}
.dropdown-text {
cursor: pointer;
position: absolute;
text-indent: 10px;
line-height: 32px;
background-color: #eee;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
border-radius: 3px;
box-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255, .9) inset, 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0, .1);
width: 100%;
}
.dropdown-text:after {
position: absolute;
right: 6px;
top: 15px;
content: '';
width: 0px;
height: 0px;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 5px 4px 0 4px;
border-color: #555 transparent transparent transparent;
}
.dropdown-text,
.dropdown-content a {
color: #333;
text-shadow: 0 1px #fff;
}
.dropdown-toggle {
font-size: 0;
z-index: 1;
cursor: pointer;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
border: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0 0 0 1px;
background: transparent;
text-indent: -10px;
height: 34px;
width: 100%;
}
.dropdown-toggle:focus {
outline: 0;
}
.dropdown-content {
-webkit-transition: all .25s ease;
-moz-transition: all .25s ease;
-ms-transition: all .25s ease;
-o-transition: all .25s ease;
transition: all .25s ease;
list-style-type: none;
position: absolute;
top: 32px;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
opacity: 0;
visibility:hidden;
border-radius: 3px;
text-indent: 10px;
line-height: 32px;
background-color: #eee;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
width: 140px;
}
.dropdown-content a {
display: block;
}
.dropdown-content a:hover {
background: #e8e8e8;
}
.dropdown-toggle:hover ~ .dropdown-text,
.dropdown-toggle:focus ~ .dropdown-text {
background-color: #e8e8e8;
}
.dropdown-toggle:focus ~ .dropdown-text {
box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0, .2) inset, 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255, 0.8);
z-index: 2;
}
.dropdown-toggle:focus ~ .dropdown-text:after {
border-width: 0 4px 5px 4px;
border-color: transparent transparent #555 transparent;
}
.dropdown-content:hover,
.dropdown-toggle:focus ~ .dropdown-content {
opacity: 1;
visibility:visible;
top: 42px;
}
Ok , i guess you want something like this :
ul {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: #333;
}
li {
float: left;
}
li a, .dropbtn {
display: inline-block;
color: white;
text-align: center;
padding: 14px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
}
li a:hover, .dropdown:hover .dropbtn {
background-color: red;
}
li.dropdown {
display: inline-block;
}
.dropdown-content {
display: none;
position: absolute;
background-color: #f9f9f9;
min-width: 160px;
box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
z-index: 1;
}
.dropdown-content a {
color: black;
padding: 12px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
display: block;
text-align: left;
}
.dropdown-content a:hover {background-color: #f1f1f1}
.dropdown:hover .dropdown-content {
display: block;
}
