Hiding nav menu based on Bootstrap breakpoint view - html

I am using Bootstrap template SB Admin (https://startbootstrap.com/templates/sb-admin/) which has a hide/show side nav using a menu button on click. I want to retain the standard functionality on full screen which defaults to show the side nav unless specifically clicked to close.
On smaller screens/mobile the default behaviour is to hide the side nav unless clicked to open, which is fine however I want the nav to auto-close when clicking outside of the nav div - but only on mobile.
I can't work out how to trigger different behaviour based on breakpoints - any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Are you using the dist files or src files?
If you are using the dist files you can simply add this to your css, no extra jquery or js required.
#media (max-width: 992px) {
.sb-sidenav-toggled #sidebarToggle::before {
content: '';
position: fixed;
display: block;
z-index: 0;
top: 0;
left: 225px;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
}
}
What this does is when the side nav is set to open, there is a class added to the body tag. .sb-sidenav-toggled.
We are also wrapping this using a css media query to make sure we are only on tablets/mobiles (991px below).
Then on the #sidebarToggle button (when open using this parent body class .sb-sidenav-toggled) is creating a fixed pseudo ::before element (which is transparent) which covers the body area you want to be clickable to close side nav.
The magic is, because this pseudo element parent is the sidebar nav button, it means when it is clicked it triggers the standard close side nav event. And when it closes, the .sb-sidenav-toggled body class is removed, in turn removing the pseudo element.
If you are using scss files in the src folder, then you can use the sass below...
#include media-breakpoint-down(md) {
#sidebarToggle {
.sb-sidenav-toggled & {
&:before {
content: '';
position: fixed;
z-index: 0;
display: block;
top: 0;
left: 225px;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
}
}
}
}

Drop down menu hides behind content of page

I'm working on making a Squarespace page with custom CSS to be mobile responsive. In a mobile screen, my page has a drop down menu with the different links for the page. My problem is that in certain pages (such as Music or Watch) when you click on the menu button, the drop down menu hides behind the content of the page. I know this has to do with using position: absolute, but i have not found a way to have the placement of the menu button and drop down list as I want it by using position: relative. This is my CSS for the menu:
#mobileNav {
background: none;
position: absolute;
top: 20%;
left: 0;
right: 0;
}
#mobileNav .wrapper {
border-bottom-style: none;
border-bottom-color: none;
}
You can view the page at richiequake.com using the password Help123. Is there another way I can have the placement of the menu button and the drop down list and have the list "push" the content of the page down so the link list is visible?
Basically, are you are missing is the z-index property. Which will place the container #mobileNav in a higher layer.
By making this change (adding z-index property to your CSS selector):
#mobileNav {
background: none;
position: absolute;
top: 20%;
left: 0;
right: 0;
z-index: 1;
}
I can now see the menu links in all pages. You can read more about the z-index spec here.
UPDATE - To also push the content down while using absolute positioning:
As you are already using a custom class to toggle the menu links, you can use that to also toggle the content section.
Add a selector rule as following to your stylesheet:
.menu-open~section#page {
transform: translateY(355px);
}
What this will do is, when the menu-open class is in the document, the sibling section with id of page, will be pushed down 355px.
You can also add a some kind of animation if you want a smoother effect on pushing the content down, like so:
#page {
margin-top: 100px;
margin-bottom: 100px;
opacity: 1;
position: relative;
transition: transform .3s linear;
}
I just added the transition, where the .3s is the time that the transition will take.
One problem with using absolute positioning, even if you use transforms to compensate for it, is that on some devices and browser widths, the logo will overlap the navigation. Observe what the current solution renders:
Another problem is the delay between when the navigation collapses and when the text is no longer visible:
Because this is Squarespace and you don't have access to edit the underlying DOM, I would use flexbox to solve this. To do that, first get rid of this:
#mobileNav {
background: none;
position: absolute;
top: 20%;
left: 0;
right: 0;
z-index: 1;
}
And add this:
#media only screen and (max-width: 640px) {
#canvas {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
#mobileMenuLink {
order: 1;
}
#mobileNav {
order: 2;
}
#header {
order: 3;
}
#header ~ * {
order: 4;
}
}
Note that the above is not vendor-prefixed, so if you want to support older browsers, you'd correspondingly want to add vendor prefixing.

Materialize dropdown behind scrollbar

So the problem is as the title states... I have a small drop-down that when shown, hides itself under the scrollbar...
CSS for the dropdown:
.dropdown-content {
#extend .z-depth-1;
background-color: $dropdown-bg-color;
margin: 0;
display: none;
min-width: 100px;
max-height: 650px;
overflow-y: auto;
opacity: 0;
position: absolute;
z-index: 999;
will-change: width, height;
}
Also here is the .js code from Materialize framework in case anyone thinks that there is something that can be done in the .js:
// Position dropdown
activates.css({
position: 'absolute',
top: origin.position().top + verticalOffset + scrollOffset,
left: leftPosition
});
I have tried changin the overflow in the css but nothing happens...
So doeas anyone have any idea how to resolve this issue or is there a way to overlay the scrollbar??
NOTE: Im using Materialize framework and Meteor
EDIT Is is possible to write a function in javasacript that would calculate the position of the click event and display the dropdown where the click event happened?

MenuToggle won't show for responsive navigation bar

I have done my research and so far I have tried just about everything. I am creating a responsive site with a slide push menu. I'm still learning Java and jQuery so I ended up creating it strictly through CSS coding. In order to do this I used:
#menu-toggle:checked + .menu {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
}
Then I applied the left property to my .menu with a value of -240px. However when I click on the menu button, the navigation bar refuses to show. On top of that it seems that my code editor does not recognize the 'transition' property.
Here's a link to my html and css documents. This is for an academic homework.
I put my responsive.css in the JavaScript bin so that was no mistake.
http://jsbin.com/gerunayapo/1/edit?html,css,js
You do some mistakes like:
You add css in script panel in jsbin.
Then your write this wrong css:
#menu-toggle:checked + .menu {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
}
Change it to:
#menuToggle:checked ~ .menu {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
}
There is menuToggle not menu-toggle. And use ~ instead of +.

Vertically stacked fixed top html elements

I'm using the twitter bootstrap fluid css to build a cms(Dotnetnuke) skin. The cms displays a control panel which is fixed to the top of the page when an admin is logged in.
This is how it looks like
<div id="dnnCPWrap"> ... </div>
#dnnCPWrap {
width: 100%;
position: fixed;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
z-index: 1001 !important;
}
The bootstrap fluid's menu looks like this
<div class="navbar-fixed-top"> ... </div>
.navbar-fixed-top {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
right: 0;
left: 0;
z-index: 1030;
margin-bottom: 0;
}
As you can see, they both are fixed to the top of the window and since the fluid menu has a higher z-index, it covers the cms's control panel. Question is, is it possible to have them stack on top of each other with the control panel stacked on top?
Note:The cms's control panel is only displayed when an admin is logged in so users don't see it. Thanks
I think the quick solution is to edit here the css:
#dnnCPWrap {
width: 100%;
position: fixed;
left: 0px;
top: 0px; /*PUT THE HEIGHT OF THE USER NAV MENU */
z-index: 1001 !important;
}
With that solution the admin panel is displayed below the nav menu of the user.
If you want to have the admin menu first, I think that you have to overwrite the css of the user menu when you log as admin and edit top:/*HEIGHT OF ADMIN MENU*/
This is the solution I came up with:
New css class:
.navbar-admin-mode {top: 36px;z-index:1000;}
Javascript:
$(document).ready(function() {
var cp = $("#dnnCPWrap")[0];
if (typeof cp !== "undefined") {
$(".navbar-fixed-top").addClass("navbar-admin-mode");
}
});
Since the admin control panel div(#dnnCPWrap) only exists if the user is logged in as admin, the css class is only added to the skin's menu only for admins.
Sorry, can't comment yet. For Dnn 7.2.x the selector should use #ControlBar_ControlPanel instead of #dnnCPWrap to make it work.

Is it possible to show a div on click using the :active selector in CSS?

I'm looking to show a div on click. The goal is to use pure CSS only, no jQuery.
Working FIDDLE Demo
Consider that you want something like this:
We write our markup as simple as possible. One element for container, one element for our link and one another element for popup:
<!-- [container] -->
<div class="link-with-popup">
<!-- link -->
<div class="link">CSS</div>
<!-- [popup] -->
<div class="popup">
<div class="box">CSS Description</div>
</div>
<!-- [/popup] -->
</div>
<!-- [/container] -->
Here is our layer structure in picture:
CONTAINER
Let's write CSS for our container.
.link-with-popup {
/* for visualizing */
background: yellow;
/* we need relative, because childs are absolute */
position: relative;
margin-bottom: 10px;
height: 30px;
width: 400px;
}
[!] Note that we make our container relative. Because the children will be in absolute mode.
LINK
We create our link as an absolute element from left, just as shown in the figure above.
.link {
background: blue;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 100px;
z-index: 10;
}
POPUP
The dimention of popup element is same as the container, so we set all top, left, right, bottom properties to 0.
.popup {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
background: green;
z-index: 20;
}
[!] Note that z-index of popup element must be greater than link element.
.popup {
/* we won't show the popup yet */
display: none;
}
By now, we'll get this result (check it on jsFiddle):
Now we want the click for our link. This must be done with :active pseudo selector in CSS. But how we must show the poup? We have to get the next sibling element by the link. We use the + selector in CSS:
.link:active + .popup {
display: block;
}
See the result on jsFiddle. But the problem is that when user realize the mouse, the popup will disappear (as it display is set to none).
So we set the :hover rule for the popup and make it block.
.popup:hover {
display: block;
}
Check the jsFiddle demo. Now we get close enough. The only issue that the popup element, hide our link.
But it doesn't matter, because we won't set background for our popup (it will be transparent).
TEXT
For wanted text in popup element, we set this rules:
.popup .box {
position: absolute;
/* note that we make a gap from left to don't hide the link */
left: 130px;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
background: #505050;
}
Check the jsFiddle demo. Now we have all things that we need.
Now it's time to make our popup element transparent (by setting the background as transparent or simply remove the background: green; rule):
.popup {
background: transparent;
}
And here is the final jsFiddle result. And if you add some extra CSS to it, it can be more stylish. Something like this that I've created.
Some important note to memorize:
In the final result, there is a gap between the link (blue one) and the popup (gray one). But the fact is that the gray element is not our popup. It's a child of popup and our popup is an 100% width and height element on the container.
Working FIDDLE Demo
Another way is to use the :target property (only works in moderns browsers).
Here's a qucik DEMO where I've hidden the div by applying opacity: 0; and the when you click the link the div changes to opacity: 1; The link and the div are matched using a hash in the url.
Here's the code from my example.
HTML
Click me
<br />
<div id="pop"></div>
CSS
#pop {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: #000;
opacity: 0;
}
#pop:target {
opacity: 1;
}
There are some side effects though. The browser will jump/scroll down (not sure if it's possible to prevent this?) to the matched div and since we are using a hash in the url it will effect the browser history and, as mentioned above, it only works in modern browsers.
