Hi I have made a web page with a navigation bar. There is mouse hover drop down menu on a navigation bar. I have take the code for this navigation bar from w3school web site. The code is
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;
}
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>News</li>
<li class="dropdown">
Dropdown
<div style="display:flex">
<div class="dropdown-content">
Link 1
Link 2
Link 3
</div>
<div class="dropdown-content">
List 4
List 5
List 6
</div>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Dropdown Menu inside a Navigation Bar</h3>
<p>Hover over the "Dropdown" link to see the dropdown menu.</p>
Now the problem is that I want to add second column in front of first column in the drop down list.For this I add second div but all the stuff of the second div appears in place of first div and hides the content of first div. Please tell me that how can I place the second div in next to first div so that they appear parallel to each other.Please answer this question. I will be very thank full to you.

Answer 1

You can place it by wrapping the .dropdown-content div with a flexbox.
I have added .wrapper a class you can change it to whatever you like.
Here is the code:
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;
}
.wrapper {
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 .wrapper{
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>News</li>
<li class="dropdown">
Dropdown
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="dropdown-content">
Link 1
Link 2
Link 3
</div>
<div class="dropdown-content">
demo
demo
demo
</div>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
P.S. In the same way you can create multiple, side by side divs using flexbox. You can learn about flex here
