Third drop down menu not showing up on mobile resize - html

I can't figure out why my third drop down menu is not working, the first two drop down menu are working perfectly on desktop, tablet and mobile resize, but the third drop down menu only works on desktop, but not on mobile. Any help will be appreciated thanks.This is my nav menu html code:
.toggle,
[id^=drop] {
display: none;
}
/* Giving a background-color to the nav container. */
nav {
margin:0;
padding: 0;
background-color: #000000;

* we need to add a clear after the container. */

You are using "drop-2" for both the second and third dropdown. Change it to for="drop-3" and id="drop-3" for the third menu, and it will work.

CSS Menu Toggle isn't correct color when viewed in smaller screenHi

I have been trying to make this responsive CSS/HTML menu work, and it's displayed in the colors I want when it's in full screen/normal desktop view, but when I view it in "responsive" view e.g a phone resolution, the menu colors aren't displaying the right way...
As per the full screen version the colors should be as follows
menu text - #278189
background - #fff
hover background - #3A3A3A
I have trawled through the code time after time but cannot see why this isn't working? for some other strange reason "home" "about" and "contact" have a black hover background.
Another minor issue (not massively bothered but would be nice to know) is when in full screen there is a "home" button which will link to the index page, but in the smaller version there is a "menu" button too...?
TIA
Dan

Before going into your stated problem, I would like to point out some obvious mistakes in your code. First mistake, you typed some of the color hex codes wrongly. You type extra hashtags and semicolons. Not only this h3 tag, but others as well. Check your code properly.
h3 {
font-size: 30px;
line-height: 34px;
text-align: center;
color: ##278189;; /* should be #278189; */
}
Second mistake, why do you style the same tag (h1) twice? I can understand you style it twice if one of them is either inside a media query or nested under other tags or classes/ids, but it's not.
h1 {
font-size: 60px;
text-align: center;
color: #278189;
}
h1 {
margin-top: 100px;
text-align:center;
font-size:60px;
line-height: 70px;
font-family: 'Bree Serif', 'serif';
}
Ok, to solve your problem:
You mentioned that menu colors aren't displaying correctly in mobile resolution.
Under the media query #media all and (max-width : 768px), you have something like this below. Just change it to the color that you want, which is #3A3A3A.
.toggle:hover {
background-color: #278189; /* it's using the menu text color. change this to the color you want, which is #3A3A3A */
}
If you want the nav items to have the same hover background color, change this as well, also under the same media query.
nav a:hover,
nav ul ul ul a {
background-color: #000000; /* #000000 is black color. Change this */
}
If the submenu text is meant to have the #278189 too, change this.
nav ul li ul li .toggle,
nav ul ul a,
nav ul ul ul a{
padding:14px 20px;
color: #464646; /* change this too... */
font-size:17px;
}
Another minor issue (not massively bothered but would be nice to know) is when in full screen there is a "home" button which will link to the index page, but in the smaller version there is a "menu" button too...?
The "menu" button that you mention is for collapsing the dropdown menu on mobile resolution. You click it, the dropdown menu will be shown. It's from this line of html code:
<label for="drop" class="toggle">Menu</label>
If you were to remove this whole line, you can't get the dropdown menu on mobile resolution anymore, as the dropdown css code are all handled by the toggle class.
Basically, your mentioned problems aren't big. If you're not sure where does the color come from, why is it showing the wrong color, etc, you can always use inspect element from your browser to look for it (read here for more info if you don't know much about inspect element. Also, always make sure your code is free from syntax errors (read more about css syntax), like the color hex codes like I mention above.

Navbar dropdown width resize

I have a navigation bar that is fluid on both desktop and mobile devices. However, the drop-down items widths don't resize based on the parent's width. I would like to hover over a drop-down item and it has the same width as the list item I hovered over. At the moment it has a fixed width but I can't seem to get it working by trying other options. I also cannot get the entire navigation bar to center, as at the moment it is stuck to the left. Thanks for the help!

To adjust the dropdown menu size to the same size as the containing list-item, declare a left and right property value of 0 on the dropdown element in question (nav ul ul), then remove the explicitly declared width on the nested list items of the dropdown menu (nav ul ul li).
Example:
nav ul ul {
display: none;
position: absolute;
top: 60px;
/* additional property values declared */
left: 0;
right: 0;
}
This works because the dropdown menus are already positioned absolute and the containing parent element list item (nav ul li) is already positioned relative.
You can position absolute elements relative to their parents if their parents are relative.
So all we are doing here is defining the extent of the dropdown menu width to "stretch" from "left to right" of the parent's width.

In Addition:
You can horizontally center the navigation menu by removing the float rule declared on nested list-items (nav ul li), as this will negate any attempt to align content (unless you use flex-box), then declare text-align: center on the containing unordered list (.menu), as demonstrated below:
nav ul {
text-align: center;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
list-style: none;
position: relative;
}

Pure HTML and CSS dropdown list on hover navigation bar

here is the HTML:
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/epvNRG
<select>
<red>
</select>
.
^ is what i tried to use but it doesnt look as good! thanks
What I need:
A dropdown menu on hover. When cursor is on 'glossary' have a dropdown menu below glossary that can say anything! Thanks! Please make it the same size as the glossary box! Aparrt from that, a little transparancy would be cool too!
Thanks!
My suggestion to you would be to either learn some bootstrap becasue it makes a lot of the css coding and such a whole lot easier, or do a quick google search before asking on the form. Anyways:

Navbar in HTML/CSS not functioning properly

I am new to website design, and there are a few flaws in my navbar that I cannot fix.
I cannot get the navbar to center properly.
When the screen resolution changes, the list overflows into the next line.
there is 1 list element that is sized differently and I cannot seem to figure out why.
Here is the code:
https://jsfiddle.net/b02nm6ae/#update
CSS:
.nav_wrapper {
z-index: 9999;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
width: 100%;
min-width: 50px;
}
.nav_wrapper ul {
display: block;
position: relative;
position: fixed;
/* fixes automatic values set by ul */
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.nav_wrapper ul li {
list-style: none;
display: list-item;
background-color: #993300;
float: left;
}
/* hides the submenu by default */
.nav_wrapper ul ul {
display: none;
position: absolute;
}
/* makes the sub menu appear on hover over list element */
.nav_wrapper ul li:hover > .sub_nav1 {
display: list-item;
list-style: none;
}
/* lists the list items on top of one another */
.nav_wrapper ul .sub_nav1 li {
float: none;
position: relative;
}
.nav_wrapper ul li a{
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
color: #ffffff;
padding: 12px;
}
.nav_wrapper li a:hover{

Once you float the li then centering becomes problematical. In these instances, it's often preferred to use display:inline-block and center then by applying text-align:center to the parent ul.
This does have a white-space downside but there are methods around that, one of which (font-size) I have used here.
As for the single element with the greater height...that was caused by the pseudo-element...so slapped a quick patch over it. Frankly, I would be applying a class to the parent li and using a pseudo-element on the li but that's another debate entirely.

Well I notice that if I set a 25 pixel height to
.nav_wrapper ul li a
that removes the extra space for example..
.nav_wrapper ul li a{
height:25px;
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
color: #ffffff;
padding: 12px;
}

Fixed. I think this is what you want http://dabblet.com/gist/2792978
Simply remove position: relative from #nav li and give it to #nav.
