I have a CSS menu hover that isn't working on iPad. Looking around I found this answer on Stack Overflow. To trigger the hover I have set up an event.preventDefault on the top level links which is working great. However this being applied to all links under the menu which means you cant navigate around the website.
I have created a jsFiddle.
How can I make it so that anything with a class .menu-item-has-children the event is prevented but for any other <a></a> under that class is works.
Unfortunately/annoyingly its not possible to edit the HTML markup
Here is my code:
HTML
<nav id="top-menu">
<ul>
<li class="menu-item-has-children"><a>Link 1</a>
<ul>
<li>Google</li>
<li class="menu-item-has-children">Google
<ul>
<li>Google 1</li>
<li>Google 1</li>
<li>Google 1</li>
<li>Google 1</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Google</li>
<li>Google</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="menu-item-has-children"><a>Link 2</a>
<ul>
<li>Google</li>
<li>Google</li>
<li>Google</li>
<li>Google</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="menu-item-has-children"><a>Link 3</a>
<ul>
<li>Google</li>
<li>Google</li>
<li>Google</li>
<li>Google</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="menu-item-has-children"><a>Link 4</a>
<ul>
<li>Google</li>
<li>Google</li>
<li>Google</li>
<li>Google</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
jQuery:
$("#top-menu .menu-item-has-children a").click(function( event ) {
event.preventDefault();
console.log('clicked');
});
Add a > (CSS Direct Descendant Selector):
$("#top-menu .menu-item-has-children > a").click(function( event ) {
event.preventDefault();
console.log('clicked');
});
That selects only<a/> tags that are a direct descendant of menu-item-has-children.
So for example, in this code block, it selects the 'Link 2' anchor, but not any 'Google' anchor:
<li class="menu-item-has-children"><a>Link 2</a>
<ul>
<li>Google</li>
<li>Google</li>
<li>Google</li>
<li>Google</li>
</ul>
</li>

I know there are a lot of similar solutions.. This one almost works :)
I have an unsorted list:
<ul id="Tree" class="sub-menu">
<li class="folder">First level
<ul class="sub-menu">
<li>File 1.1</li>
<li class="folder">Second level
<ul class="sub-menu">
<li>File 2.1</li>
<li>File 2.2</li>
<li class="folder">Tretji nivo
<ul class="sub-menu">
<li>File 3.1</li>
<li>File 3.2</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
And the jQuery:
$('.folder').click(function(event) {
event.stopPropagation();
$(this).find('>.sub-menu').slideToggle();
});
Click on .folder works as desired. The problem is that the slideToggle is triggered on all li elements. So if I click on a li > a element the file is downloaded but the ul is toggled also. I want to prevent toggle when I click on an element that has no direct ul child.
You could add the folder class to the level text instead of the whole li tag :
$('.folder').click(function(event) {
event.stopPropagation();
$(this).next('.sub-menu').slideToggle();
});

<ul class="sub-menu">

I've the following code with nested list items as shown below:
<ul style={{padding-top: '15px'}}>
<li style={{margin-left: '20px'}}>First Services</li>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>get1</li>
</ul>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>get2</li>
</ul>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>get3</li>
</ul>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>get4</li>
</ul>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>get5</li>
</ul>
<li style={{margin-left: '20px'}}>Second Services</li>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>get6</li>
</ul>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>get7</li>
</ul>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>get8</li>
</ul>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>get9</li>
</ul>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>get10</li>
</ul>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>get11</li>
</ul>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>get12</li>
</ul>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>get13 </li>
</ul>
<li style={{margin-left: '20px'}}>Workflows</li>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>Workflow for someone </li>
</ul>
</ul>
My Goal:
I want some space between the following:
1) First Services and get1
2) get5 and Second Services
3) Second Services and get6
4) get13 and Workflows
5)Workflows and Workflow for someone
How should I go about it? Is adding an empty paragraph tag <p></p> a good idea between each of the above 5 things?
if you mean horizontal space (white space), use:   ;
if you mean vertical space, try: (CSS property) line-height, padding
or margin.
you might want to remove this from being inline and use your linked stylesheet instead as it might cause issues with your styling.
You should use classes for this. Right now, the simplest way is to wrap a div around your whole list, apply a class to it (in my example I used parent_class) and use this selector: div.parent_class > ul >li It only selects the li elements of the first level ul:
div.parent_class > ul >li {
margin-top: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
<div class="parent_class">
<ul style="padding-top:15px;">
<li style="margin-left:20px">First Services</li>
<ul style="margin-left:30px">
<li>get1</li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-left:30px">
<li>get2</li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-left:30px">
<li>get3</li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-left:30px">
<li>get4</li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-left:30px">
<li>get5</li>
</ul>
<li style="margin-left:20px">Second Services</li>
<ul style="margin-left:30px">
<li>get6</li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-left:30px">
<li>get7</li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-left:30px">
<li>get8</li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-left:30px">
<li>get9</li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-left:30px">
<li>get10</li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-left:30px">
<li>get11</li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-left:30px">
<li>get12</li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-left:30px">

</ul>

</div>
.example-list {

I would do the following (or something similar - keep in mind it's not good practice to have <ul> as a child of another <ul> - you can validate here: http://validator.w3.org/). Remove the inline styles, you'll deal with A LOT of headaches later if you write you CSS as you have. Set classnames for the bits you want extra space for (you can edit the {{20px}} below for how much space you want (or if you want left/right margins, you can edit the whole rule).
<style>
.title {
margin-left: 20px;
}
.top-list {
padding-top: 15px;
}
.top-list .spacer-top {
margin-top: {{20px}};
}
.top-list > li > ul {
margin-left: 30px;
}
</style>
<ul class="top-list">
<li class="title">First Services</li>
<li class="spacer-top">
<ul>
<li>get1</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<ul>
<li>get2</li>
</ul>
</li>

<li>get3</li>

I am trying to create a horizontal drop down menu with 3 levels of sub menus. I have almost created all menu items. I am trying to make it cross browser compatible. While I was testing in IE7 menu is not diaplaying properly. float is not working. Please suggest me what to do?
here is my code:
<ul id="menu_new">
<li>Home</li>
<li>Applications
<ul>
<li>Agency
<ul>
<li><a href="/apps/banner/web_links/NVE_South_Agency_PRDv2.ica" >NVE South</a></li>
<li>NVE North</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Manual Crawl</li>
<li>Crawl Interval</li>
<li>Archive List</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li> Visual Analytics</li>
<li>Settings
<ul>
<li>Manage Subject
<ul>
<li><a href="#" >Add Subject</a></li>

<li>Export Subject</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Manual Crawl</li>
<li>Crawl Interval</li>

</ul>
</li>
</ul>

Result in IE8:
Result in IE7:
#menu_new > li{
display:inline-block;

This is the menu structure what I want to integrate into WordPress . But there's an issue to add a div id ( ) inside of a menu . Any idea to achieve this ?
You forgot to close some of your first li tags. If that does work, remove the div, and assign the id in the child ul.
<ul>
<li>
<a>level 1</a>
<ul id="mega">
<li>
<a>level 2 A</a>
</li>
<li>
<a>level 2 B</a>
<ul>
<li>
<a>level 3</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
I'm a novice and ran my code through an html validator.
Regarding my navigation I receive a message that reads: :Element ul not allowed as child of element ul in this context"
Here is the html structure:
<nav>
<div class="nav_container">
<ul class="navigation">
<ul class="logo">
<li><img src="images/rh_logo_v5.png" alt="roundhaus logo"/></li>
</ul>
<ul class="subnav">
<li>home</li>
</ul>
<ul class="subnav">
<li>reclaimed wood</li>
<li>design</li>
</ul>
<ul class="subnav">
<li>flooring</li>
<li>paneling</li>
<li>beams</li>
</ul>
<ul class="subnav">
<li>shelving
</li><li>mantels</li>
</ul>
<ul class="subnav">
<li>news</li>
</ul>
<ul class="subnav">
<li>wood types</li>
<li>phrases</li>
</ul>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
Whats wrong with it? It looks fine across browsers. Should I be concerned or take action?
A ul can not be a direct child of another ul, it needs to be contained within an li
<ul class="navigation">
<li>
<ul class="logo">
<li><img src="images/rh_logo_v5.png" alt="roundhaus logo"/></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<ul class="subnav">
<li>home</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<ul class="subnav">
<li>reclaimed wood</li>
<li>design</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<ul class="subnav">
<li>flooring</li>
<li>paneling</li>
<li>beams</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<ul class="subnav">
<li>shelving</li>
<li>mantels</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<ul class="subnav">
<li>news</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<ul class="subnav">
<li>wood types</li>
<li>phrases</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
you could also give the menu some headings by adding it in the li before the child ul,
you must wrap each of the inner ul with an li
<ul class="navigation">
<li>
<ul>
<li>...</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<ul>
<li>...</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<ul>
<li>...</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Your structure is likely wrong. Logo is not a list or list-item. As well as list item that contains just another list is generally pointless.
Use heading element for logo (I usually use H1 for home page and H3 with link inside it for other pages):
<!-- for home page -->
<h1 id="logo">Company</h1>
<!-- for other pages -->
<h3 id="logo">Company</h3>
And make sure that your navigation has correct hierarchy like this:
<ul>
<li>Products
<ul>
<li>Desktops</li>
<li>Laptops</li>
<li>Tablets</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>About
<ul>
<li>History</li>
<li>Contacts</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
In the example, each LI has its own link and subsections of section that the link represents, and thus the link text is heading for subsections' list.
You need to wrap
<ul class="navigation">
<ul class="logo">
as
<ul class="navigation">
<li>
<ul class="logo">
...
</ul>
</li>
and so on...
