How to make this dropdown work using flexbox? - html

Question

I am trying to make this dropdown button using flexbox but it's not working as I want. It's not displaying when I hover around the button using display properties. Can someone edit this code so that the dropdown menu works?

Answer 1

Is this what you want
function Enable(){
x = document.getElementById("Ulist");
if(x.className == "display"){
x.className += " active";
}else{
x.className == "display";
}
}
li{
list-style: none;
}
.Maincover{
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: center;
height: 300px;
}
button{
font-family: montserrat;
font-weight: 500;
width: 100px;
border-radius: 5px;
color: white;
border: 0px;
padding: 5px 10px;
text-align: center;
background-color: tomato;
}
.list{
font-family: rubik;
text-align: center;
margin-top: 10px;
}
.display{
padding:0px;
display: none;
}
.display.active{
display: block;
}
.hoverbutton:hover ~ .display{
display: block;
}
<div class="Maincover">
<button class="hoverbutton" onclick="Enable()">Hover Here</button>
<ul class="display" id="Ulist">
<li class="list" id="lists">List item 1</li>
<li class="list" id="lists">List item 2</li>
<li class="list" id="lists">List item 3</li>
</ul>
</div>
