How do I make my menu appear on click with css - html

When I hover over the Menu it shows the dropdown menu.
I want it to happen on click.
I tried it but it didnt work for me.
This is my code:
HTML:
<div class="responsive-menu">
<ul>
<li>Menu
<ul>
<li>Zomer</li>
<li>Herfst</li>
<li>Winter</li>
<li>Lente</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS:
li {
list-style-type:none;
}
.responsive-menu {
display:block;
background-color:black;
color:white;
text-align:center;
padding:10px;
font-size:200%;
}
.responsive-menu ul li ul li {
padding:10px;
border-bottom:solid 1px white;
border-top:solid 1px white;
}
.responsive-menu ul li ul {
display:none;
font-size:60%;
padding-top:30px;
}
.responsive-menu ul li:hover ul {
display:block;
}
Here is a link to JSFiddle.

Instead of the :hover pseudo-class you should use the :focus pseudo-class.
.responsive-menu ul li:focus ul {
display:block;
}
To let the li gain focus it needs a tabindex attribute
<li tabindex="9999">Menu

amend
For not having the focus effect from browser add a outline:none style on the li
.responsive-menu ul li:focus {
outline: none;
}

HerrSerkers answer is a good answer, but there is another if you're willing to change your markup a little. You can simulate a click by using checkbox with it's label, like:
li {
list-style-type: none;
}
.responsive-menu {
display: block;
background-color: black;
color: white;
text-align: center;
padding: 10px;
font-size: 200%;
}
.responsive-menu ul li ul li {
padding: 10px;
border-bottom: solid 1px white;
border-top: solid 1px white;
}
.responsive-menu ul li ul {
display: none;
font-size: 60%;
padding-top: 30px;
}
#trigger {
display: none;
}
#trigger:checked + .responsive-menu ul li:hover ul {
display: block;
}
<input type="checkbox" id="trigger" />
<div class="responsive-menu">
<ul>
<li>
<label for="trigger">Menu</label>
<ul>
<li>Zomer</li>
<li>Herfst</li>
<li>Winter</li>
<li>Lente</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
JSFiddle
Update - as HerrSerker pointed out, there is a flaw regarding closing the menu - check his fiddle with a fix.

Fixing width and other CSS problems in menu navigation

I am coding a very simple CSS navigation menu. I’m trying to stretch the nav to 100% width across the page and set the last menu option to orange background color and white text color to no avail.
Can someone have a look at my CSS code and see where my problem is?
body {
background: #282828;
}
#nav ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
}
#nav ul li {
margin-right: 5px;
padding: 10px 20px;
position: relative;
height: 20px;
line-height: 20px;
background-color: #282c2b;
color: #fff;
}
#nav > ul > li {
float: left;
height: 30px;
line-height: 30px;
background-color: #282c2b;
border-left: 4px solid #282c2b;
}
#nav li > ul {
visibility: hidden;
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
color: #fff;
}
#nav > ul > li > ul {
width: 100%;
top: 50px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
left: -4px;
}
#nav li:hover {
background-color: #ffffff;
color: #282c2b;
border-left: 4px solid #ff3d00;
}
#nav li:hover > ul {
visibility: visible;
}
#nav ul li .navOrange {
background-color: #ff3d00;
}
Here’s a CodePen
I know it might be hard to achieve this with pure CSS but is it possible to make the menu drop down upon clicking or is it just set to rollover without JavaScript?
so i decided to change it up a little and use elements because it suits me better.
so i now have the following;
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/waKENz
when i add around the div elements it doesnt use the style setup in css, why is it doing this?
and is it possible to perhaps have menu option 4 perform a dropdown on rollover as before or not with elements.
You might have to target each navigation item seperately by setting a percentage width for the item and probably a percentage margin also. Make sure they all add up to 100%.
#nav > ul > li {
margin: 0 1%;
}
.home,
.level-1,
.support,
.sign-up {
width: 18%;
}
.info {
width: 20%;
}
.home {
margin-left: 0;
}
.sign-up {
margin-right: 0;
}
<div id="nav">
<ul>
<li class="home">Home</li>
<li class="info">Information</li>
<li class="level-1">Level 1</li>
<li class="support">Support</li>
<li class="sign-up">SIGN-UP!</li>
</ul>
</div>
Here's a demo jsFiddle (not full code).
The last item in the navigation is not turning orange because the selector is incorrect. You have:
#nav ul li .navOrange { background-color: #ff3d00;}
Which says (working right to left), select any element with the class of .navOrange that is a child of any li that is a child of any ul that is a child of #nav. .navOrange is an not a child of an li but on class on an li and also a child of a ul.
Remove li from the selector and it will work.
#nav ul .navOrange { background-color: #ff3d00;}
About the orange background color: you need to remove the space between "li" and ".navOrange" in the last definition. This will make it more specific than the other definitions and be applied later.
Full width can be achieved relatively simply if you know how many options you'll have in the menu with resizing the buttons to an adequate percentage. Though be careful with this - you generally want something less than 20% with 5 buttons because of the margins etc.
The hover menu that you already have is pure CSS, I don't know of a way to make it onclick without JavaScript.
Please check this code snippet.
body {background: #282828;}
#nav ul{ margin:0; padding:0; list-style:none; }
#nav ul li{ margin-right:5px; padding:10px 20px; position:relative; height:20px; line-height:20px; background-color:#282c2b; color:#fff; }
#nav > ul > li { float: left; height:30px; line-height:30px; background-color:#282c2b; border-left:4px solid #282c2b; }
#nav li > ul{ visibility:hidden; position: absolute; top:70px; color:#fff;
transition: all 0.2s ease-in;
opacity: 0;
}
#nav li.have-item:hover ul{

Last child selector not working on a navigation menu

I'm adding a separator "|" to every menu item using the :after selector. This adds it to the last element as well. I've been trying to remove that using the :last-child selector and it isn't working.
I'll list my code below and also provide a jsfiddle link.
HTML:
<nav id="nav_bar">
<div>
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>Company Profile</li>
<li>Contact Us</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
CSS:
#nav_bar {
background-color: #debb23;
height: 45px;
}
#nav_bar ul{
list-style-type: none;
}
#nav_bar ul li{
display: inline-block;
margin: 10px 0;
}
#nav_bar ul li a{
color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 0 15px;
}
#nav_bar ul li:after{
content: "|";
color: #ffffff;
}
#nav_bar ul li:last-child {
content: none;
}
Here's the jsfiddle link, http://jsfiddle.net/e3x369k0/
I appreciate any help.
You are targeting the last li element's content not its :after pseudo element's content.
Change your selector from:
#nav_bar ul li:last-child {
content: none;
}
to
#nav_bar ul li:last-child:after {
content: none;
}
Live example: http://jsfiddle.net/5x55emaf/
You're missing the :after in the last CSS rule. Should be like this: #nav_bar ul li:last-child:after
Try This and I've been using this technique in years :)
#nav_bar ul li{
border-right:1px solid black;
}
#nav_bar ul li:last-child{
border-right: 1px solid tranparent;
}

Text not horizontally centre in nav bar / Too much space between nav bar text

Here I have my website: http://gyazo.com/56e069ebf8b5bd61ee30523886180b88
There are a number of issues with the nav bar.
1.You can see that the text or nav bar is not horizontally centered, as indicated by the hover (which is equal on top and bottom)
2.There is to much space in between the text, (and this spacing is the only way I've found works without the text moving around when highlighting or hovering.
So for 1. is there a way I can make the text or the nav bar (not sure what is the cause) centre so the hover looks more equal (horizontally)
For 2. Is there a way I can close the gap between the text, while still keeping the same padding settings, and so it doesn't move the text around when I use the hover function.
I've also added a jsfiddle if that helps: http://jsfiddle.net/d1a5eshs/

There were several spacing issues and also there were several duplicate styles and a few mistakes, but I think I fixed all your issues. http://jsfiddle.net/d1a5eshs/1/.
Here's my version of your navigation bar: http://jsfiddle.net/zo541am2/. I trimmed and simplified both your HTML and CSS code.

Adding drop down sub menu to code

I have been trying to add a drop down menu to this code but always seem to get turned around. I just want a basic look to the subnav with a simple rollover effect. Every time i try different code it uses home image in the drop down menu and will not disappear when it is not hovered over. Ideas?
HTML:
<ul class="navbar">
<li class="navbar1">Home
<ul class="subnav">
<li>Menu 1 </li>
<li>Menu 2 </li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
CSS:
ul.navbar {
width:1000px;
list-style:none;
height:40px;
}
ul.navbar li {
display:inline;
}
ul.navbar li a {
height:40px;
float:left;
text-indent:-9999px;
}
/* Home 0 */
ul.navbar li.navbar1 a {
width:86px;
background:url(../pelican%20outfitters/navbar2.fw.png)
no-repeat 0 0;
}
ul.navbar li.navbar1 a:hover {
background-position:0 -40px;
}
ul.navbar li.navbar1 a.current {
background-position:0 -80px;
}

Working Fiddle
You should delete the text-indent:-9999px and add this to your css
Delete row:
ul.navbar li a { text-indent:-9999px }
Css:
.navbar li ul {display:none;}
.navbar li:hover ul {display:block;}
Than you have a basic navbar with hidden subnavs.
From here you can try it with your image.
The demo is your code with the new code..
DEMO
More like you want is, dont delete the css.. but only add those 2 lines and this 1:
.navbar li:hover li a{ text-indent:1px; background:white; }
DEMO 2 (without your img (don't know what it is)).
Latest update after the fiddle comment:
You should specify your html and css.. a just added a class to the first link class="home" and to accomodations class="accomodations"
And changed it in the css..
/* Home */
ul.navbar li.navbar1 a.home {
width:86px;
background:url(http://s12.postimg.org/rszejjscd/navbar2_fw.png)
no-repeat 0 0;
}
/* Accomodations */
ul.navbar li.navbar2 a.accomodations {
width:220px;
background: url(http://s12.postimg.org/rszejjscd/navbar2_fw.png) no-repeat -86px 0;
}

Pure CSS dropdown menu

I'm trying to fashion a 100% CSS and HTML dropdown menu like what's seen on http://phpbb.com. When you hover over the navigation links, a new div appears just below the one you hovered onto.
What I'm trying to do is make .submenu appear just below the <li> that it's nested into by using #nav li a:hover submenu {. To my knowledge this CSS selector should select the .submenu DIV when an a element is hovered over? But it doesn't work.
#nav {
list-style-type: none;
margin: -5px 0px 0px 5px;
}
#nav li {
display: inline;
}
#nav li a {
display: block;
padding: 3px;
float: left;
margin: 0px 10px 0px 10px;
text-decoration: none;
color: #fff;
font-weight: bold;
position: relative;
}
#nav li a:hover {
text-shadow: 1px 1px #333;
}
#nav li a:hover submenu {
display: block;
color: red;
}
.submenu {
position: absolute;
display: none;
}
<ul id="nav">
<li>Home
</li>
<li>
Skins
<div class="submenu">
hello :)
</div>
</li>
<li>Guides
</li>
<li>About
</li>
</ul>
Your second to last selector is looking for a "submenu" element, you should correct this to say ".submenu"
Like this:
/*#nav li a:hover submenu {*/
#nav li a:hover .submenu {
display: block;
color: red;
}
EDIT:
To get the hover to work, you also need to adjust your CSS so that the hover is applied to the list item, instead of the anchor tag:
#nav li:hover .submenu {
display: block;
color: red;
}
Are you missing a period ('.') before submenu in the selector #nav li a:hover submenu?
Try to edit this following part.
Put a . (dot) before the submenu, since its a class.
#nav li a:hover .submenu {
display: block;
color: red;
}
#nav li:hover .submenu {
display: block;
color: red;
}
You want the submenu to appear when you hover on li, not on a, simply because you do not have items with a class submenu inside the a.
Also you could consider using s for the submenus.
